So my old push mower recently died its final death. I purchased a Bolen's mulching push mower from a guy who rebuilds and sells mowers. It's in great condition but I've never owned a mulching mower. My old mower was a side discharge and never had a bit of trouble no matter the grass height.
Well this mower bogs down terribly if the grass has any height to it. It infuriates me. I mow a few other yards as well and I'm getting fed up. Instead of the normal 2 hours of mowing it's taking 3 hours. I'm constantly having to clean the grass from underneath the deck.
So my questions are: Should I purchase a bagger so the grass has somewhere to go? Also, I have searched over a dozen websites and cannot find a bagger. Does this mower have to have a brand specific bagger? I'm not paying $80 for a Bolen's bagger. Are there baggers that fit multiple mowers?
It is a 21" cut rear bagger.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
