A self propelled, mulching/bagging/throwing clippings. I have a seven
year old Toro, it's OK, but it doesn't handle thick grass too well.
The underside of the deck cakes very easily.
Any recommendations?

Remove the safety guard from the discharge shoot. This will reduce caking
and blow the clippings in a even pattern across the lawn. Always mow with
the discharge shoot pointing at the mown lawn, not the un-mown lawn.
