60'' MMM on GC1705

I have a 60" drive over and it's a really nice cut! I really enjoy cutting my 3 acre.

The ones of you that have the 2326 mower deck how does it do in leaves. I have that deck on my GC1723 and it is a phenomenal mower. I am asking because I just sold an old leaf blower from my last tractor. If I rated its cut I would give it a rating of 6 out of ten. I used to have a Steiner mower and it’s cut I would give a 7 or 8 but I will rate this mower decks cut even better than that one. Ok back to leaves, Do any of you just chop up your leaves or do you find I necessary to bag and or collect them. Would just mowing over then a few times be good enough. I live out in the country so so no one sees my yard but me.

I’m sure it would do fine, but with 7 mature maples and 14 other deciduous trees I’ve never tried it, lol. I windrow them with the back pack blower and push them into the tree line with the FEL.

When I do cut grass and leaves, prior to the big clean up, it mulches them nicely.

Well I have well over 80 wild cherry trees in my front yard alone not counting the oaks, hickories, maples and some new pine trees. I have been blowing them back into the tree line as well and just let them rot. I was just wondering because I have access to a brand new toro walk behind blower but I really don’t want to buy another blower if I don’t have to.
