   We have a Toro Groundsmaster 360 at our research farm. Solid machine, perfect width, very manuverable for what we call an alley mower between plots. However, I have never seen a mower pile up clippings like this thing. Anyone experience this? Are there some optional blades or aftermarket blades that would help? This would be a great machine for mowing down native areas but it leaves piles of clippings needing a hay baler. Any suggestions welcome. Kenneth Ingram, UMD.

   I would check the deck belts for slipping, also check blade tip speed. Should be around 16,000 RPM at 3250 engine RPM. I use a reflective RPM meter put tape on blade tip.
