The MTD Yard Machine push mower is designed to be used with a rear-mounted grass bagging system that collects grass clippings, mulched leaves and other debris. A chute in the rear of the mowing deck directs grass and mulch into the bag during the cutting operation, where it is collected. The homeowner can later empty the cuttings in a desired location such as a composting bin.
