Kyle,
No problem Kyle. Great question because there is no option with this mower to add a bagger. I was a bagging man for nearly twenty years and this was a difficult decision for me too. The bioclip works really well, and you do have the option to remove the bioclip plug and have a rear discharge mower. I haven't used mine this way yet so I can't tell you how it works in this configuration. I can tell you that the mower does a great job mulching. Now I do cut my grass frequently -- about every 4 to 5 days. We have had plenty of rain up until the last few weeks which is why I've had to cut as often. With avg. rain I could go once a week easily. I live in South Carolina and have a centipede lawn which is not a "fast" growing or "high" growing lawn, so you'll have to gauge your conditions accordingly. I don't like cutting more than an inch of growth if possible. I think 6 inches of growth would be asking a lot of any mulching mower not to show clippings.
I will say this, it's a lot of fun to cut with this mower and the extra cutting beats all the lawn bags and trips to the local dump. You should be able to cut a 1/3 acre lot in less than 30 minutes easy. Cut twice as often and enjoy your Rider!
