I've got a Kubota B2400 hydo with a 5' Befco, 3-pt hitch, rear discharge finishing mower. It works great and I've no complaints at all except that I can only cut my 2-1/2 acre yard once a week. The problem is that as fast as the grass grows, it really needs cutting every 4/5 days. So when I get round to it, the grass is a little longer that I would like and the mower leaves windrows of grass lying on the ground that look ugly and don't do the lawn much good either. Dispersion of the grass clippings is a lot better if I slow down to a crawl but it's too hot in Texas at this time of year to take any longer than necessary to get the job done. What I'd like your opinion on is this : Is it better to get a mulching kit for the Befco mower and hope that helps get better dispersion of the cuttings (or will that only slow the jobs down even further) or is there somone who makes a grass catcher or rake that can be added to the rear discharge mower to pick up the cuttings. I've got a lawn sweep that was used on an old John Deere lawn tractor that will sweep the stuff up but the holding capacity is so small that it gets to be a real chore to use.I'd be grateful for any help or advice that you guys can give me.
