This model has a 1.5-bushel bag capacity.

The bag on the Toro Model: 20339 has a capacity of 2.1 bushels.

John - the speed of the Toro 20339 is controlled by the back bail handle (appears to be under the top of the handle in the image of this mower). As you pull this bail lever up, the speed of the mower will increase. The further "up" you pull the bail handle, the faster the mower will travel. This mower has a 4-cycle engine. You do not mix gas and oil together. Gas goes in the fuel tank and oil goes in the crankcase, just like on your car.

Pete - sorry, but the handle height is not adjustable on the Toro model 20339 mower.

Walt - the Toro model 20339 mower is recoil (rope pull) start only. No electric start.

Yes, the Briggs and Stratton 190cc engine on the Toro 20339 does require regular oil changes. The frequency of the oil changes is dependent on how often you use the mower, and how long it runs each time you use it. But once annually would be the minimum recommended period for changing the oil.

Jim - there is no throttle control on the Toro 20339 mower. The engine will run at a constant rpm rate when it's running

Kim - yes, the Toro model 20339 Smart Stow mower has a side discharge option. If you look at the image on our web site, the black cover on the right side of the mower deck between the front and rear wheels is the side discharge opening. You would remove that black cover. There is a deflector that snaps into place over the opening if you want to discharge your clippings rather than bagging them.

How do I change the oil in my mower?
For Recycler® and Super Recycler® mowers:

Recommended Oil type for Toro Walk Behind Mowers, 4-Cycle engines - SAE 30W Detergent oil with an API service classification of SF, SG, SH, SJ, SL, or higher.

-Run the engine for five minutes to warm the oil so it drains better. (Recommend only filling fuel tank with enough gas to run for five minutes before changing oil.)
-Remove the dipstick.
-Tip the mower onto its side (air filter side up) to drain the used oil out through the oil fill tube into a drain pan. (Tipping the machine on its side is the recommended method by engine manufacturers.)
-Let oil drain completely.
-Tip the mower back up on its wheels and slowly pour new oil into the oil fill tube until oil level reaches the FULL line on the dipstick. (To properly check the oil level , wait one or two minutes after filling the engine with oil to allow it to settle. Wipe the dipstick clean, reinsert dipstick, remove dipstick and check oil level, repeat the process a second time.)
-Important Do Not overfill - If you overfill the engine with oil you will need to remove the excess oil by following the oil draining steps listed above. Too much oil can cause engine damage or failure.
