When you have 6-12 inches of leaves it forms a tidal wave coming over the front of the deck . Regardless of how you set the deck height . Other than those few things it's a great tool .
Thanks for the tips. It did come with the deck adapter that I can make fit, those are 300 bucks if you have to buy one. DR etc have universal ones that are cheaper.
Its mostly going to see service without the mower attached. Most of my leaves end up against a fence at the bottom of the property, split rail with wire for dogs on the outside. They are ok there, but unsightly until they decompose and are also cause of rot. I can just vacuum the leaves with the hose end...
