Rini,

Thank you for using Answer Army.  The type and quantity of leaves that you plan to bag will effectively determine the capabilities of the bagging system.  I highly suggest installing the mulching kit so that it breaks leaves down into smaller pieces.  This allows the leaf debris to carry up the bagging system with more ease.  Also, dry versus wet leaves will play a factor and of course the dry leaves will be collected a lot easier than wet ones.  Below is an excerpt from the Owner's Manual for mulching tips is grass.  This can also be translated for leaves that will be collected in your bagger.

MULCHING MOWING TIPS

IMPORTANT: FOR BEST PERFORMANCE, KEEP MOWER HOUSING FREE OF BUILT-UP GRASS AND TRASH. CLEAN AFTER EACH USE.  The blades will re cut the grass clip pings many times and reduce them in size so that as they fall onto the lawn they will disperse into the grass and not be noticed. Also, the mulched grass will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients for the lawn.  Avoid cutting your lawn when it is wet. Wet grass tends to form clumps and interferes with the mulching action.  The best time to mow your lawn is the early afternoon. At this time the grass has dried and the newly cut area will not be exposed to the direct sun.  For best results, adjust the mower cutting height so that the mower cuts off only the top one-third of the grass blades.  For extremely heavy mulching, reduce your width of cut and mow slowly.
