This is great! You ask a question and you come back in a couple of days to find a bunch of great responses! Thanks to all for your input... and Bird, I have to ask... When do you sleep? /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
It seems that the 3pt mowers have more votes.
There were several comments about discharge of the clippings...a point which I hadn't even considered... Do the rear discharge mowers tend leave the clippings in "windrows"? My guess is that they would based on the comments made, but I've never actually seen a rear discharge mower before... Do any of the 3 pt mowers have a provision for picking up the clipppings? What about the belly mowers?
I currently either bag or mulch the clippings with the LawnBoy... I don't mind leaving the clippings if they're spread out but windrows might mean raking if the boss doesn't like them. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
