How are you guys mowing around it?

We simply pick it up and move it. I lift one side, and either my 2 daughters (age 8 & 11) or my teenage son lifts the other side.

I bought mine almost 2 months ago and I really like it. I cut my grass every 3-5 days so I've had lots of opportunities to use it. One thing I've noticed is that grass tends to build up around the edge of the deck underneath. It's pretty simple to clean it off, especially right after mowing. Best part about cleaning the mower is that you can tip it and you don't have to worry about gas leaking out. It does take some practice with the cord... Mow the same way for 4 or 5 times then you'll learn how to manage the cord so you can go in different directions.

Not really, what I did was mount it under my normal blade and used one of the washers that fit the hole then tightened it up with the large washer over it. I didn't seem to move and I think it helped bag more of the dead grass.

I use mine more for mowing and dealing with the dust. Best to do a web search on that.

Yes sir it is mulching. The side discharge attachment that comes with it can be added very easily. It just snaps on and keeps the mulching door open. Its been a good mower so far.

I have a Scotts John Deere mower with a double grass catcher on the back. I did not buy anything extra. I just took the two bags off and put the opening of the leaf bag over the frame and cinched it up. It has a double cinching cord and a quick release for when you are taking it off.

When I use a bag it works pretty well. The grass needs to be fairly dry because the mower is not as powerful as a gas powered mower. At any rate I cut high and rarely use the bag. Sometimes I have to rake a bit but I have chickens and they love fresh cut grass. The rest of the grass clippings feed the lawn.

I wouldn't try to use it without having something to there to run the rubber wheel along--i.e., at least some sort of brick or other edging between the flower bed and the grass. Without having an edging, try grass shears or one of those sharp things you sort of plunge in (I don't know what they're called).

We use this mower without a grass catcher and let the mowed grass stay on the lawn. It is such a small amount of grass that it blends in quickly and does not cause a problem. Kathy Summers

Pat, There's no real trick just be sure that small turned up slots are on the top of the blade and everything else will fall into place. If you have a deflector to cover the grass discharge it will greatly improve the performance of the cut & mulch.

have not tried that yet, good on leaves in tight garden spots. Id say get a regular rake for grass.

greg, i would be more concerned with if it cuts the grass well !! i got rid of mine by putting it on the street, the night before bulk pickup....i am sorry, but i thought it was garbage ! that is all i can say.

We absolutely love the mower- it's the best we ever had. As for mulching, I cannot comment on that as we bag everything it picks up and put it in a mulch pile in the corner of our yard, so never really used it as a mulching mower. As a bagging mower it works fine, vacuuming up even small stuff.

Having used this mower for a couple of months now, it is easy to push and operate. You do need to empty the bag a few times depending on how large your lawn is (or push the grass down by hand) and also not to allow the grass to overgrow. Otherwise it take a little more work to cut. Also a little tricky if you have grass right up to a fence as the blades don't get too close but for a typical lawn that has a path or flower bed adjacent, it cuts very well.

I don't use one. I think it's better to leave the cover on and mulch it into the grass. I clean it each time I finish mowing.

Mine is on its third year. I used to be able to mow the entire lawn with it, but now it's getting me only 1/2 to 2/3 of the way.

Honestly not sure. I just cut the grass if it is to high I have to go over the area a couple of times. Lol at the moment I have well maintain weeds. In areas where there is actual grass it guy very nicely
