The positioning of the opening and deflector at the front of the deck allows the mower to run over grass clippings a second time, but if the grass is too wet, the opening clogs and suction under the deck becomes insufficient to lift the wet clippings off the lawn and into the cutting area.
An air-floated mulch recycle system, issued to Fassauer in U.S. Pat. No. 5,123,235, employs an air-floated housing having a rotatable cutting blade, an open bottom, an air intake opening conduit and a rear discharge port. A mulch recycling system comprised of a conduit attaches to the discharge port to receive grass clippings produced by the mower for delivery to the front of the mower for recutting. An air impeller means pressurizes air to float the mower, but inhibits the mower's ability to draw grass clippings into the mulch recycling system. Moreover, dry grass is preferred for cutting since wet clippings are difficult to lift into the blade, stick to the underside of the housing and clog the tubular chute used in the mulching system.
Another mulching device is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,048,279 issued to Badawey, and is utilized as a leaf mulcher for use with a rotary blade lawn mower. The leaf mulcher comprises a rotary blade lawn mower, a grass outlet and a screen mounted on the mower over the outlet. The screen provides a cutting edge for leaves dispersed from the outlet of the mower but does not facilitate the mulching of grass clippings, is easily clogged and is ineffective on damp lawns.
Another inherent problem with prior art mulchers is their inability to be used effectively in locations with severe space constraints. Hand-adjustable mulch plates must initially be positioned at a proper height and, if a tight corner is approached or a change in grass density occurs, must then be re-positioned at a different height, a task usually involving loosing the attached plate, re-positioning it, and retightening the attachment mechanism. Re-positioning the mulch plate to achieve a different height is time consuming. Re-adjusting the mulch plate to accommodate different grass heights and space-restricted
