This used to be my only mower and I'm pretty sure I mowed some overgrown lots with it. Maybe that wasn't bahia grass. I know you can't mulch that sedge grass or whatever it's called. Anyways it cuts it, but you turn the pto off and the blades stop instantly and that can't be good at all. I use my bigger 52" and side discharge overgrown lots. With no problem, but it's got a bad spindle right now and I'm waiting for parts. Guess all over grown lots will have to wait. Anyways is this normal with bahia grass?
 
Bahia is some tough stuff.. It will bog down my 47hp tractor if I don't have the bush hog up enough to let it sling out the sides.. Definitely need to be able to side discharge with a normal mower if its thick/tall.

Guess it's just the grass. That crap kept wrapping around my trimmer head when I was weed eating it. We've had a lot of rain here lately that we haven't had in a long time.
