| Any ideas? My mower is only a couple of months old and i've noticed it leaves clumps of grass and leaves when i mow. They seem to bunch up at the front right wheel? Any ideas as to why its not mulching properly at this corner? |

| It's probably because of the mulching system used by Toro, which usually consists of a "kicker plate" (sometimes more than one) that is meant to deflect the cut grass back on to the blade. But the mulched grass also gathers at the kicker plate and drops off in clumps when there's too much hanging there and gravity takes over. |

| 20332 personal pace, it was great when i first got it, no clumps whatsoever, even with long wet grass. I seemed to have a hole in the right front wheel, maybe i damaged something on that side? |

| The right front is puzzling. An actual hole in the wheel? on the tread part? I guess that would be a place to start-especially if it is creating a flat spot. It sounds like this occurs only when mulching? Any signs of trauma to that corner in the sheet metal? Let's also think about what has changed. Over the past couple of months the blade has gotten a bit duller, the deck dirtier- possibly the wheel adjustment has changed. |

| If cuttings are spitting out that may indicate you are trying to cut too much. If your location has a lot of leaves and/or pine needles on the ground in addition to grass then the mower may have so much under the deck that the cuttings are bogging down in the chute. Try mowing more frequently, slowing down a bit or reducing the cut swath. |
