Introduction
Toro 800 Lawn Tractor
The Toro 800 is a compact lawn tractor produced between 1970 and 1973. It is a dedicated residential machine designed for grass maintenance, belonging to the 880 series era of Toro equipment.
Engine and Power
The tractor is powered by a Briggs & Stratton 190707 single-cylinder, air-cooled gasoline engine. It features a displacement of 318 cc (19.44 ci) and produces a gross power output of 8 hp (6.0 kW). The engine utilizes a vertical shaft configuration and is equipped with a recoil starter, though an electric start system was offered as an optional feature on specific models.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The machine utilizes a belt-driven gear transmission, specifically the Peerless 615 model. It provides three forward gears and one reverse gear, allowing for basic speed adjustment. The drivetrain is engaged via a mechanical idler pulley clutch, which is manually operated by the user.
Dimensions and Handling
Designed for residential maneuverability, the tractor features a 42-inch (106 cm) wheelbase and a total weight of approximately 370 lbs (167 kg) when equipped with the 36-inch mower deck. It uses manual steering for directional control. The front tread measures 25 inches (63 cm) and the rear tread measures 22.75 inches (57 cm).
Tires and Equipment
To minimize soil compaction and maximize traction on turf, the tractor is fitted with 13x5.00-6 lawn and turf tires on the front and 18x8.50-8 lawn and turf tires on the rear. The unit includes an independent mid PTO (Power Take-Off) to drive the mower deck.
Conclusion
The Toro 800 is a straightforward, mechanically driven lawn tractor suitable for standard residential mowing tasks. Its compact dimensions and manual operation make it a functional choice for smaller properties requiring basic grass maintenance.
