Does the nose roller crush down the grass and thereby affect mowing that grass? Or does the nose roller not reach the ground normally and instead rid

So far no: the suction of the blades appears to straighten it up as the mower passes over it. Smooth cuts so far.

No, it doesn't affect the mowing. I guess if your grass was really tall it would pack it down somewhat but I have not experienced that myself.

It does normally reach the grass. Only when going over rough or very uneven rough terrain. Keeps it from scalping the grass. Without the nose roller it would scalp it. Really works well and does not crush the grass.

It dethatches whatever you run it through, grass of any type. It might have a tendency of ripping crabgrass more because of the crabgrass runners but I wouldn't count on it removing it all.

I sit on mine (on dirt or bark mulch) all the time and I've never had a problem. It moves around just fine. I don't try to roll all the way across the yard while still on it because I think my weight could cause it to sink it in where the dirt is softer. I love this thing...it's a real back saver, and I like that I can put my tools and extra stuff under the seat, so they're always with me as I move around the yard.

The higher and thicker the grass, the harder to push. If grass is high, it can't cut it as well--takes many pushes back and forth to whittle high grass down. Also, mine sat outside through the winter but a little WD-40 and it cut great!

Watch the deck of the mower as you lower the wheels. If the deck rises because of lower wheels you are cutting the grass higher than before. If the deck lowers as you move the wheels, you are cutting the grass shorter.

Not on my mower - the normal blade cuts up grass and leaves like they are a jar of herbs and the bagger sucks it up. Just unreal. I still love this bagger! Think it is probably about the best money I ever spent!

I agree with the previous answers. The regular blades have different bends along their length which may affect the aerodynamic lofting of the cut grass. But I doubt that the differences would be significant. Try it. Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

The grass goes down near your feet. but not that much. I do love it. ALL grass cutters throw out grass.I do not ue the cover because I store it in the basement because I live in a Condo. MY BEST TO YOU, AL.

The grass catcher doesn't work very at all. The mower is not as sturdy as I had hoped. I am somewhat disappointed with the mower overall.

The weight of the rollers rests on the ground. The motor of the tiller works much harder to break up soil then to run the rollers. No problems.

I think it really depends on what type of sod it is and how much grass is still left on the section you are tilling up. The attachment works really well but if you have grass that has long runners and deep roots like Bermuda grass it will eventually start to get wrapped up and tangled in the tines. When this happens you have to remove the tangles or the tines don't spin as freely and the gearbox will start to get very hot as it takes more effort for the attachment to work. I've used the attachment on rock hard Georgia red clay and it chewed through it very easily so the hardness of the dirt itself shouldn't be an issue.

This style of mower does not create suction like a rotary mower and therefore will not pick up leaves. The cutting action is created by the rotating blade contacting the straight blade in the back. Great for cutting a consistent heigth grass.

Yes it does. My husband just drops it down lower! It really saves a lot of back breaking work. We have a big lawn and raking it after each mowing was really hard. He has a bad heart and the pulling really caused pain. Best buy we have made in a long time.

The mower works great, the catcher only catches maybe 50 percent of the grass. Makes for a great workout.

I have found that grass will get built up in the undercarriage and cause it to stop turning. The manual says to open the bagger chute with the lawn mower off and clear it out. You might have to actually turn the mower on the side, though. Other than that, I have no suggestions.

It sticks out of the ground about 5 inches. No, you do not remove it to mow the lawn. It takes a lot to get it into the ground and you would not want to remove it. We just mow around and up to it.

It has worked for me with grass and leaves. The only thing with hay or grass is you have to watch that they are not too long and end up being twisted around the spinning parts just like on a hand held weed eater if you try to take on more than the item can process. It mulched up leaves beautifully for me I and my neighbors yard which provided nice mulch for one whole side of my house garden.
