I have mulcher and bagger Walkers. Sometimes with a little grass in the box and a mulcher deck on the customers think i`m bagging when I am in fact mulching! But I do some bagging and it does look great but can`t be done wet due to plugging the unit up.... We back up the Walker thru the trailer and ramp system into a 12` dump bed. Got to get rid of it and push a button. Sometimes compost at my property, sometimes it goes to the dump. It does get heavy!!!!
This thread basically duplicates the other discussion thread, titled "Leaves, leaves and more leaves!" But the subject matter and recommendations are essentially the same.
1) Just mulch if at all possible. Granted, it doesn't make the lawn look as "clean" as bagging, but its easier and beneficial for he lawn.
2) If, and only if, bagging is essential. Then re-purpose the clippings as compost.
3) Find a local nursery, tree farm, or any crop farm that would gladly take clipping off your hands.
We do a little of both. We try to keep bagging to a minimum and prefer to mulch. But we will haul it away in bags or the truck if we need to. My parents 5 acres provide a decent place to unload when I can't put it out front of my house!
