Rear discharge Kubota lawn tractor

Looking at a rear discharge Kubota lawn "tractor" (I call it a ride on mower): G2160 is the model. I think some of the newer units use rear discharge as well(?).
Does anyone have experience with these rear discharge decks?
I have only used side discharge units, but I like to bag my grass (vs. mulch or just leaving the grass on the lawn).
This unit has a "direct shoot" catcher, that looks pretty cool, but I want to make sure it really works and does not clog as some other bagging systems, or leave cut grass all over the lawn.

What say you'all?

Thanks.

Rear discharge decks that have counter rotating blades bag a lot better than side discharge ones because both blades are throwing the grass up the chute, not just the right one.

OK, do you know how the 3-blade decks do this? Does the outside 2-blades turn one direction and the inside blade the other?
Thanks.

No idea.
Only seen 2 blade ones that use double sided belts to turn them in opposite direction.
