  grass clippers removal

If you do any mowing with a zero turn and a second cutting is required, make the second cut perpendicular to the first. Every time I get one of the "my mower broke 3 weeks ago, how much to cut..." calls it's what I do. People are amazed I can get the lawn to look like a ball field and no bagger. My lazer has a bagger but I don't like to use it. If I need something for leaves or if I do a dethatching I break out the Trac Vac. Twin 35 gallon cans and a 5 horse motor pulls just about ecerything out of the lawn. They hav all different kinds of sizes from single can up to dump trailer style units. Can be found on ebay or craigslist all the time.

Cutting "as low as possible" or "the lower the better" ends up working against you many ways. 1)stresses the lawn as the ground dries out much faster 2) more opportunity to weeds to take hold(healthy turf chokes out weeds) 3)encourages thatch buildup 4)clippings, leaves, and other "debris" can't be hidden in shorter turf. All those issues and with the deck all the way down, no matter what the design, will act like a plow pilling the leaves in front of the mower.
