Re: (ET) ET Why rearward mulching

[Christopher Zach <czach computer org>]

Try putting the baffles behind the blades. I think the reason the rear 
discharge does not mulch well is because the blades hit the grass, then 
shoot it out the back. When you mow backwards the front is like a 
baffle, and the grass bounces around in there.

So try putting a baffle around the rear of the blades. Or reverse the 
one in there.
