Side Discharge Mowing

You must be psychic! I'm using the same machine - grasshopper 100 series mid mount - how wierd is that!

How about cutting in bouts like you to do with a combine/silage cutter etc? Once down the middle, turn, cut new and old grass just the once. Turn the same way at the other end so that you're now blowing onto cut ground, not standing grass. When the distance between turns at the end of the field starts to take too long cut out another bout. A benefit to wildlife, if the grass is long, is that you give it escape routes as you go instead of coralling into the middle for a massacre with your last pass.

Yep first 2 widths in the way then turn around and always spray the clippings on whats been cut in ever decreasing circles with square corners BTW then when the ends get so its quicker to miss them out you miss them out.

 

Once you do your first outside cut every second time only use half the width of the machine so it moves the tyre tracks as after a few cuts you can spot the tracks in the moss if you keep going over the same bit.

 

If you have some waste ground on the outside of what your cutting, Cut out the way to start with.
