A self propelled, mulching/bagging/throwing clippings. I have a seven

The underside of the deck cakes very easily.
Any recommendations?

I had an old front wheel drive Toro that kept breaking down. Bought a
rear wheel drive Lawnboy which I like better but grass caking is still
a problem. My son was borrowing it when he first moved in his house
and now he has a Honda, which he says beats Lawnboy hands down.

I believe Toro and Lawnboy are now the same company which I assume
will combine the worse of both names in new mowers in order to save
money

No mystery, all rotary blade mowers clog when mowing overly tall and/or wet
grass. Always wait for grass to dry, and if too tall raise the deck for the
first pass, then make a second lower pass. Mowing has nothing whatsoever to
do with mower brand (if red is your favorite color buy Toro, if green buy a
Lawnboy, etc.), it's all about common sense.
