Toro super recycler maintenance question

17 years ago

Thinking about shelling out big bucks for the Toro Super recycler 20092 since it was so highly rated on Consumer Reports. The local dealer near me told me that it should be maintained annually (and have the blades sharpened) which costs $70 for the warranty to stay effective.

What kind of maintenance is required anyways? Does that sound somewhat steep or too frequent?

I can see a shop charging that for an oil change, new spark plug, air filter, blade sharpening/balance and a shot of grease to the drive wheels clutch housings and ratchets. Of course you could do all that in 90 minutes or less yourself for about $12.
