This thing is so cool! I think it will do exactly what I want it to do. I have an area behind my place that I have been fighting to get grass to grow, all I want to do is knock down the high stuff and I want what I cut to say on the ground to help control erosion. Looks like I found the answer. Did a little test cut behind my shop with it today. The regular mower blows the cuttings away and cuts them to fine.
