Can the mower also be used with out the grass catcher?

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.

Mower is not designed to be used without bagger because it doesn't have an shoot to discharge clippings.., but it may work fine.

Sure, it can be used without the catcher. That's what I've been doing for the past 3 years, if I don't let it grow too high. While on a trip I loaned it to a woman who has some back trouble and she liked it enough that she's decided to buy one. She can pick it up by the handle on top of the motor and move it. The important thing is to get a heavy enough (fat, heavy duty) electric cord so you don't burn out the motor.

With the cap removed, it will not mulch. Cap needs to be on in order to keep the clippings in the deck so they can be repeatedly cut (mulched) by the blades. The blades also work normally without the cap, so yes, they will blow the clippings into your grass catcher.

Yes, but only if the grass you have to cut is fairly short. The wetness will make the grass a little more likely to slide through the blades, but length is the more important factor. This mower is excellent if you mow often so you are not cutting too much. And as the other commenters mentioned, make sure you dry off the mower--but that applies to gas or electric mowers also. Metal rusts.

Yes, I use it all the time with my toro rear bag mower. You will however need to adjust the arms to accommodate, and when used with rear bag, the mower will become heavy with the sand in the wheel and grass in the bag.

yes but the stripping isnt as good as it is in grass. I don't think it messes up the mower

I just put mulching blades on mine as well. I have yet to use the catcher this season but I think they would work just fine.

Yes, if you have a grass catcher, it increases the capacity 10 times. If you do not have a grass catcher, you need to purchase the attachment hardware.

The grass does go toward the back, but falls ahead of your feet. It has not been a problem for us. I do wear old shoes because walking through newly cut grass tends to green my shoes, but that was true with the gas mower, too. We do not use a catcher and are happy with it.

Yes it can its not real easy ,you kind of have to lift it where the grass is softer.

John, it may be possible...however I personally would obtain a second, matching, mulching blade. Using two matching blades will leave an even track behind your mower. After all, that's the whole purpose of mowing the lawn..to make it look nice.

If you use snow joe without the grass catcher, it builds up inside the mower to a degree. The rear door for the mower is spring loaded so it stays shut without the grass catcher. Most gardening professionals recommend that you NEVER use the grass catcher, but if you don't, then you have to rake the cuttings into the grass. Your choice.

Yes you can. It only self propells if you hold a lever down. the blades are always cutting if it is running though. Great mower for the money. No problems at all with it.

The grass catcher doesn't work very at all. The mower is not as sturdy as I had hoped. I am somewhat disappointed with the mower overall.

It has a place to put another ball on the bottom but it has limited uses to me. I use 2 sizes of balls and just use the lower place to store the one I'm not using at the time. I guess you could use it separately, but I just switch balls and use the upper one. You will have to be mindful of tongue weight as well as the weight of your tractor/mower. I tried it on a boat of mine and small tractor stood straight up in the air when I let the tongue down. I have a well balanced utility and I can pull it around the yard if I balance the load well and keep the tongue weight low. Hope this helps.

The grass catcher is listed on mine as mandatory. I once cut about 100 feet without it by mistake, and the grass piles up behind it and stops the mower. Even though the catcher is a bit more work, I have found multiple uses for the mulch/clippings. We have such heat in the Houston area that it makes a great cover to hold in moisture on a plant after watering, and also prevents grass from growing next to a cedar fence...I have no weedeater. Good luck!

Hi, I don't use a grass catcher. You have to mow when the grass is not high at all, because the mower can't handle much growth. So the grass pieces are so small, it blends in. This is a small mower, you need to mow often. Regards.

Yes. My son takes it to the local park where he drives it on the grass with no problems. The grass, obviously, would have to be at a reasonable length, mowed and not grown for weeks without mowing.
