Want to mulch, but worried about leaving clumps? No problem.

The Versamow System™ helps you to mulch or partially mulch even in severe conditions. Just adjust the 10 position Clip Director to the right setting for your lawn.

Go further before emptying the bag.

Smaller grass clippings mean more grass fits in the bag. So you can mow up to 30% farther before you have to empty the bag.
