I mostly side discharge but I have the bagger for it. The bagger works fairly well. I have only had the machine for a couple of weeks now and haven't taken it through any really thick grass or through any leaf piles yet. But with its current proformace I can see it working pretty well. I am conceridering getting a set of mulch blades when I replace these blades become due.

Have you thought of having one 60 inch cut and one 36 or 44. Once you mow for a while with a big mower you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner. We take care of a couple hundred accounts per week and couldn't do it with a smaller set up.. We have a couple of grandstands and they are nice

I think that would be too big of a mower for me. I could see maybe a 48 inch so I could still use it on a lot of properties. I only have about 30-35 accounts right now. I'm a full time accountant and do these on friday afternoons and a little saturday morning.

If I had a 60 inch mower I couldn't use it on half my properties. Do you side discharge all year? I mulch mostly. Would like to get completely away from ever bagging again.

Also, I was paging through a Bobcat catalog and they make a 36 z-turn. I know I was praising standers but if gates are a big problem and your looking for a quick way to get in and out, I would definitely look into that. But sadly, I don't think you will ever be able to 100% get away from bagging
