Grass keeps clogging chute on Snapper 21" pusher - Page 3

 
I never pick up now, mostly out of need. Big lawns are tough, and sometimes
it gets too long. That would really clog things. I don't even have a mulching
blade,
or blades I should say. Feed the earth worms. Most Chem lawn yards
don't have earth worms.

In the old neighborhood, nobody had earth worms afer all the chemical treatments
mostly in the 70's and 80's. I actually started to replant earth worms in the old
yard after the parents stopped using Chem Lawn for many years.

See if your oompa is tangled.

that was rather observant of you to realize the older Snapper's used
the oompa in stead of the gigolator newer models are equipped with.

Check to see if the bottom of the bag (usually formed by a stiff sheet
of flat plastic) is angled up or down (in terms of direction away from
the chute).  The bottom should be at least flat (parallel with the
ground) or even angled down at the far end of the bag.  This allows the
grass to fly out the chute and go as far as possible into the bag.  Bend
the wire bag support frame if necessary.

Is your lawn flat, or does it slope?  Mowing in the downhill direction
will also tend to clog the chute vs mowing uphill.

Also check the underside of the deck and remove any grass buildup that
usually cakes up there.
