How is bagging not an option?
Because the grass is lying on the ground when the mower clears.
There is not shoot. A sweeper is the only option, but swept

You said it was a rear discharge.


I also said mulching. So as the tractor moves forward, the grass is
discharged out to the rear, hence rear discharge. You really can't
mow much grass if the mower is not moving. Rear discharge mowers
are great in that they don't throw grass at people or walkways
nearby. You also don't have to decide which way to throw the
grass. It just lays back down in place. What a novel concept.


So you do have the option of bagging but choose not to. That is
different than bagging is not an option.
