I wonder if that and ?gator blades? would work with a regular bagger. I like the nutrients from the clippings to go back into the soil but I'd like to get a bagger for when I need to cut some very high grass.
Good job.
I'm not too worried about chucking stuff out of it. It's pretty low to the ground. I did run some math today while day dreaming about how sweet my 50A will be when I get it up and running. Assuming blade lengths (I didn't have a handy source to look them up), a 5" pulley on a 44A should see tip speed of around 60mph... 50A and a 4" pulley should be near 90mph!! I CAN'T WAIT (call those numbers +/- 5mph since I was guesstimating on actual blade length).

In regard to bagging with mulching blades, my lawnboy does that trick just fine. However, if you want it to do a really good job you'd probably wanna swap blades between the two jobs. A couple of 2x6s screwed together into ramps and an impact gun can make that happen in about 5 minutes.

Or... even better, just get a second cub.
