In my opinion, (which isn't worth much), the side discharge mower is the worst design. Why design a mower that has to move all the grass from the left side all the way over to the right? A rear discharge is much easier. You can mow clockwise or counter clockwise against any obsticle or driveway without throwing grass clippings where you don't want them. Grass clippings stay pretty much where they grew.
We have a woods 72" rear discharge finish mower. RD7200. We love it so far. Just wish it had a fast easy way to change cutting height.
Before that we have always had junker craftsman lawn mowers. (What can I say, they're cheap.) We had one that was rear discharge and it worked great when it worked. The blades had a timing belt to keep the blades 90degrees appart or else they would hit. I think the belt and pulleys would only last about 100hrs. After that we have, and still use to trim and small jobs, a side discharge craftsman. All that thing does is plug up in the spring. It can't move that much grass accross the deck and out the discharge.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
