Information on rear discharge versus side discharge & OCDC

[Hay Dude]

Currently using a Kubota ZD331 72” side discharge, so I have a good idea of what to expect. Rear discharge has me interested enough to think this over

Do have or don't have?

Corrected. Never had an issue with dead grass.

I'm happy so far. I know mine is a 3ph one, but I was doing maintenance on the ZTR so kid ran the tractor through the front lawn taking it down from ~7" to 4" before it rained and there is no grass sitting on top. My 'lawn' is not the most plush, however... I, like the guy in the videos, push most clippings to the tree line cause with the deflector on I got rows of clippings, and with it up/off I got clippings laying on top. Laying on top didnt look as bad as the rows, but still. The reaer discharge, so far, has done a lot better.
