Abstract
A lawn mower is provided having a chassis, a mower deck dependent from the chassis, having a chute for discharging clippings generally in a first direction onto the ground; and a blower assembly mounted to the chassis on the same side as the chute, and having an outlet oriented such that a stream of air from the blower extends along a second direction and intersects the clippings discharged from the chute in the first direction and redisperses the clippings over an area greater than that achieved by the mower deck alone.
