My 52' Bunton WB, with mulch kit usually does a good job of mulching grass. But, when the grass is really tall, really thick, or really wet, I cannot cleanly disperse the clippings, and and have to pull out the Grass Gobbler for the worst portions.
Does anyone actually never have to bag? If so, I would love to know what you are using.

I mulch in the late spring and summer, and in fall for leaves. In the spring, when it is growing fast, I cut the lawn, and then raise the deck up a little higher and go over it again. The second trip doesn`t take as long, and it distributes the clumps and piles of thick grass good. I have not had to bag all spring by doing this. It definetly does not take as long to do this as bagging. Some of the companies here have said that using double blades is the way to go. No double cutting or bagging. I have not tried the double blades yet.:D

I mulch only. If it doesn't look good because grass was long, I make another pass. I do only mulch every time. Both mowers are dedicated mulchers. I have a toro 21 and an eXmark 36 metro.

I bag for spring and fall cleanups, and when the grass is really tall.

Mulch only.

Cut every week=no prob

Occasionally, I may have a few spots to go over twice.

Mulch only with an exmark TT. I dont even own a bag.

If the grass is real tall Ill scatter it with a blower.

I mulch only. I use the Exmark Bahia blade (solid air foil, longer knife edge) with the mulch kit on a 44 Lazer HP.

Never Bag. Mulch all year long. Very little problems.
EXMARK!
