Just bought my first real house with my first real yard and now I've got some real work to do. To cut my 1.5 acres of relatively flat and obstacle strewn grass, I've tentatively chosen an LT180.
However, I can't decide on my mower deck bagger configuration. The previous owner kept a beautiful lawn that I want to keep up too.
What should I get? My options, of course, are the mulching deck, the 42" with non-blown bagger, or the 48" with the option to get a blowing bagger that I can't afford right now. I'm leaning towards the mulcher, but I'm hesitant not having ever used one. I hear they can be troublesome. The 42" with bag seems nice, but how often am I going to have to unload over 1.5 acres and a typical eastern PA weeks worth of growth? I'd hate to spend the $450 only to find the interruptions too troublesome.
Any advice from you veteran mowers?
Thanks,
Fritz
