610327 2007-11-10 22:19:00 Why is it that lawnmower catchers do not complete their job?
Busy mowing the lawns and it manages to leave a huge row of cut grass behind out the side of the mower body.

Also why is it that mowers are so difficult to get up stairs? :rolleyes:

lol must be the day to do jobs round here.

610328 2007-11-10 22:31:00 Lawnmowers are like vacuum cleaners, you have to empty them often if you want the grass to fit in the catcher. PaulD (232)

You obviously don't have it on full throttle beetle (like turbo on the vac!) The correct way to mow is right to left (if the grass trail is on the left side) and mow over it each time as you work your way left (This entails mowing backwards when you get to the end of the 'row' of course)

Lawnmowers aren't made to go up stairs . . . you shouldn't be mowing the stairs anyway :eek:

i go so that i don't mow over my clippings, as the 318cc briggs and stratton powered masport lawn mower begins to stall on all the clippings.... maybe should mow more often, dad used the tractor cause the grass was a foot high in places!

beetleWas the grass very wet? Usually thats why it will sometimes clump and not go into the catcher properly

As for the steps, lawnmowers have wheels and not legs . Legs are for getting up and down steps, wheels are for moving along the ground .
If one so insisted, one could see Metla and see if he will install tracks onto your lawnmower, that way it will move along the ground, AND go up and down steps :D

Dang it . . youse guys don't only drive on the wrong side of the road . . . now it's the wrong side of the lawn too .

Fer crying out loud . . . you go in a pattern that starts at magnetic North, circumferentially in a square-ish pattern, counterclockwise unless you are below the Equator, then all bets are off .
