Mowing nose down

Posted by Mjc on July 15, 2021 at 9:51pm

Evening, I've been mowing all day today, lovely dry weather. Hoping I can pass on a useful tip I got from here. In the past when mowing mossy or thick grass I've always lifted the front a little to give the mower some breathing space, but the grass bag would only fill about a third before blocking up ( Toro 22" ). However following advice on here today i tried mowing nose down ar5e up ( the mower- not me) . Should have done it ages ago, makes a big difference. If you haven't tried it yet give it a go. Regards, Martin
