When I use it to mulch leaves on my driveway, it throws a lot of mulch instead of bagging it. Is there an attachment or a way to bag all the mulch?

If the bag has not been emptied soon enough, it will throw out the mulched leaves instead of bagging all of them. I find that my mower has to be emptied quite often in this circumstance; especially when bagging leaves. When mowing grass, my mower throws out part of the grass if the bagger becomes too full. The grass shoot should always be fairly clear.

When i first used my mower I found that the bag filled up so quickly it was difficult to make any progress in cutting the lawn. I took the bag off and the "flapper" came down as not to throw the grass out. If this flapper isn't staying closed, this might be your problem.? I don't use the bag and it sometimes clogs up the blades with all the mulch., it doesn't throw it out only chews and chews. I hope this helps. bassman

I have a very large driveway too. I bought a gas blower.. Blew them on the grass then mulched them. Works for me.

This great mower has two attachments. It is a muncher. I don't think I would use it on the driveway. It does come with a rear baggier, and then it comes with a shoot that fits instead of the baggier and throws everything to the left. There is no choke, it starts on the 1st pull

Yes it throws the leaves on the ground, its a great tool! I love it, has nice power aswell, try to use it before it rains, heavy wet leaves will take a little longer

Yes. I have the exact same thing happening here in Pennsylvania and you can vacuum the leaves only and leave the mulch pretty much in place.

I have gravel and it picks up leafs but leaves the gravel. Some gravel will go up but will not make it to the mulcher

I used my CMM1000 to shred leaves this year. Raked them into 4" to 6" high piles, went over the piles with the mower with collection bag attached. Then raked 4" to 6" high piles again, and mowed over them a second time. Any leaves remaining after two passes were raked up the old-fashioned way :-)The bag fills up fairly quickly, so I had my wheelbarrow nearby and just kept dumping the shredded leaves from the bag into it. Had to keep making sure the chute between the blade and the collection bag was kept clear of debris too.I thought it worked pretty well. How did things work out for you?Regards,Mark Widmer (New Jersey, USA) I used my CMM1000 to shred leaves this year.

Pamela, I find it just barely covers the tractor and mower deck. It will not cover a bagging attachment.

nope, I don't think so. As soon as you switched to vacuum mode, it sucks and mulches at the same time...

Jim, did you ever find one or a decent answer to your question. This is obviously a mulching mower and doesn't require a bag, but occasionally the grass gets overgrown and the bag option is a nice feature on this MM275 mower. Please let me know if you found a side bag.. Mahalo

A reusable bag comes with it. Unzip it to empty. But the fact that it is battery powered means it will not work well enough to actually deal with a small pile of leaves.

I like the mulch but I keep my grass low. Also the way I use the mower does make a difference. Some people say that mulching leaves clumps. To avoid this I cut in thinner strips at a time. I never use more then 1/2 the mower. I don't think the brand of mower makes much difference. For me I don't like working with the bag (bending over, emptying the bag est,) I prefer walking around the yard just a little more. When I return from vacation after 3 weeks I do have to rake up. Unless I return from vacation, I always mulch.

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.

it is a great mower - not sure of your question - we use bag to collect what is mulched and depose of it

The only way to secure the bag to the blower/vac is to cinch the bag over the entire blower body. This will mean the engine and handle will be on the inside of the bag. The chute the leaves come out of is too small to cinch the monster bag to. The size of the bag will make it combersome to move around.

It is chopped up and falls to the ground right where the front leg/bar is in the picture.. I thought about using plastic drop cloth to catch it and then spead the mulch around in my flowerbeds. I currently scoup it up and place it in a wheel barrel.

I just used the vac attachment this spring for the first time and it will definitely pick up grass clippings. I used it to remove leaves in the flower beds that remained after the long winter. It easily picked leaves, mulch and small branches up. It was a little dusty as the mulch was dry but I you are just picking up grass clippings from the driveway you probably won't see as much dust.

The bag attaches tightly air blows out the bag it's self so if you are in a lot of dirt it blows dust out the bag. there is a long hose and can to catch that looks better to use then the bag. I'm going to look into that set up for mine.

I use mine for leaves,and it picks more than using a bagger.if you have a mulching mower it's great.
