The R53S has been developed with both the environment and the end user at the forefront. It offers the choice of three ways to dispose of grass clippings - rear collection, side discharge or recycling/mulching. The recycling feature helps to maintain a healthy and green lawn by re-circulating the grass clippings into a fine mulch and then returning them back into the lawn. Here the cuttings decompose, putting nutrients and moisture back into the soil.
