Can you use this mower without the bag? If so, is there a special setting, etc. in order to do this?

I use mine without the bag in order to mulch grass clippings as I mow. Optional to mulch or use bag.

I use the mower without the bag to mulch for regular weekly mowing. You can use either of the 2 settings while mulching.

yes you can use it without the bag I am not aware of any special setting for that purpose. There are two settings on the machine, quiet and power, quiet for light cutting and power where the grass is longer or deeper. Also the machine mulches the grass really good in my yard with no need to rake as long as I mow about once a week.

I just started without a bag and it seemed to mulch fine as long as the grass was not too long.

I use this bag with my John Deere mower with the whole bagging mechanism including the lid (without the bags of course) It cinches around the bagging mechanism. The bag grows to be quite heavy when filled with leaves. While it may be possible to cinch the bag around the lower chute only (not sure it would cinch that tightly), it would likely pull right off of the lower chute even if it could be attached. Just my opinion.

I do not have any extra equipment. The bagger came with all necessary items to attach it to the riding mower. If you need the whole setup, I guess you will have to order the bagger,

No. The mower is partially assembled. You have to assemble the handle bars, and that's it.

Bolt the handle on, place the catch bag on its framework and place bag on mower. Very simple and takes a very limited amount of time. Took longer to break down the box for recycling.

It sure can! No bag required... that's the whole point of mulching, but it's there if you want/need it. Only time I might bag is if I let the yard get out of hand and the grass is just too high. I've only used it once, but will update again after I've used it several more times.

Yes it can, obviously you will need to mow much slower, i do not know if the mower has a mulching blade on it, so ? You can mow with bag off.

you will have to take it apart. The big resolution is to keep the cord over your shoulder and do short verticle runs instead of the lawn mower run.

No you cannot use it with a bag. Fortunately my backyard is near the woods so I just "fling" it into the woods!. It's a great product just treat it gently in the cold weather. We are in Upstate NY - being plastic sometimes in the deep cold it will crack.

We have mowed with our rider (our leaves) then taken this mower to chop up the clippings and bagged them. So yes I think you can but it is a slow process since the bag is small.

The unit comes with a bag that attaches directly to mower. If you do not use bag the back closes off allowing the clippings to go on the ground.

YES! You can use bags without tips. Just cut a SMALL hole in the tip to start and adjust from there to what you need.

yes,you can use it with or without the filterbag I perfered it with the bag which takes a long time to fill up ,it is messy without it ,still powerful.It has a powercord.

Yes to all questions. I use mulching but bag comes with unit. The 13 amp gave me the extra little boost over mu prior 12 amp mower. Well pleased with unit.

Not that I know of. However it does have a mulch kit that works very well. I do several large lawns with my mulch kit so I don't need a bagger. They are a pain to keep emptying all the time anyway.

yes, you mostly just unfold the handle out of the box and hook on either the mulch plug or grass bag. We started parking it in the garage after we were noticing some corrosion on the handle when left under the deck.

I'm not an expert, but you wouldn't need to use mulching blades if you are bagging. Also, I have mulching blades on my mower and I do not see anything that would have me recommend them. My suggestion, keep your blades sharp. Hope this helps.
