New mower

Well, I didn't drive the Toro, picked up the Exmark 36 ECS and so far LOVE it! have only done a couple yards, but I can see a big reduction in sweat over the 21 inch push!! It is blowing out the front of the deck, is that because of it having Gators intsalled with a mulch kit? I take it as a PITA to switch from mulching to side discharge, too .
Oh well, shouldnt hafta worry about heavy growth for a while, drought is almost here...
