ABSTRACT:
The four-wheel lawn tractor has a rear mounted detachable grass catcher bag to collect the grass clippings conveyed by a discharge conduit emerging and extending upwardly from the worm type mower housing. The discharge conduit is left open at the bottom side whereby its length, slope and turn and also the blower capacity are designed according to flow codes that will permit grass clippings to be conveyed uninterruptedly and turbulence-free through to the outlet end of the discharge conduit. The outlet end of the discharge conduit is disposed below a swivel shaft of a catcher hood covering the top of a catcher bag in its horizontal swivel position. If the catcher bag is removed, the catcher hood may be swung in a vertical hanging position transverse to the outlet end of the discharge conduit permitting a mulching operation of the lawn tractor in which the clippings drop down on the lawn surface.
