ABSTRACT:
A lawn mower that includes a cutting blade rotatable about a blade axis to produce clippings and a mower deck including a side opening positioned to allow for the discharge of the clippings. A discharge chute is coupled to the mower deck adjacent the side opening. The discharge chute includes a first plate that at least partially defines the front of the discharge chute and a second plate that at least partially defines the rear of the discharge chute. The second plate is spaced apart from and arranged at a first angle relative to the first plate. A top plate is coupled to and arranged at a second angle relative to the front plate. The first plate, the second plate, and the top plate, are movable to move the discharge chute between a first position and a second position such that the first angle and the second angle remain substantially constant.
