Walk Behind Lawn Mowers

Per the manual, the Huskvarna HU775H self-propelled mower is ready to mulch right out of the box. Our unit does not disperse mulched grass evenly over the lawn. It dumps clumps of grass here and there. We know all the reasons for unsuccessful mulching ~ grass is too long ~ grass is wet ~ under carriage of mower deck not clear ~ mowing too fast. We can’t think of any reason why we can’t get the nicely manicured lawn we desire. Our retired 15 year old mower did a much nicer job of mulching. I mowed after work yesterday, having last mowed 4 days prior, grass was dry and the mower still did not evenly disperse mulched grass. After taking a close look at the mower we think you have a design problem. The rear discharge tube area that is used for bagging in it's current configuration will never allow for the proper mulching action. The drive belt cover / tube next to the rear discharge blocks the swirling action that is mandatory to get a proper mulch. This is also the cause of the clumps that the mower kicks out. The grass builds up against the side of the tube then drops out in a clump.

Our number one reason for buying the Husqvarna is the one touch adjustment for raising and lowering the mower deck. It is so convenient! The mower starts easily and we like the ergonomic handle. Our unit is self propelled and is very powerful when we need a little extra help getting up an incline. It's a really well designed mower except for the mulching flaw.

Do you have any suggestions for us to remedy the poor mulching with this unit?
