It has been just 2 weeks since the big clean up at this overgrown duplex, but it's summer, and it's Florida! It grew back like wild fire but it is no match for the DR SP30. I noticed an interest from my viewers to pick up the clippings so I decided to bag it. This mower handled it like a hungry animal! It could have done it with even higher grass, and yes, I'll try it. But it picked it up cleanly and kept it's ridiculous high rpm houl going while doing it. LOVE this mower!
