I have spent several hours over the last couple of evenings looking into the pros and cons of rear discharge and side discharge finish mowers. I will be operating it on two different properties. The smaller of the two properties will require a higher than normal percentage of mowing in reverse. I have no concern about wind rows, grass clumps left behind, striping, or blowing leaves.
A rear discharge is appealing for the obvious reason that I would not have to plan my "route" as much since it throws the clippings out the back instead of to the side.
The mower I am looking to get will be 72" wide and be run on a 70 horse power pto.
My question:
Can a rear mount, rear discharge mower, mow in reverse on short grass that gets mowed weekly during the growing season without clogging up, burning up the belt, or causing other undesirable problems?
TIA,
