Homeowner needs a faster way to manage a massive volume of grass clippings from a half-acre lawn without raking or making frequent trips to empty bagger.

Existing solutions are extremely labor/time-intensive: raking takes longer than mowing, and the bagger requires emptying every ~100 feet, turning a 40-min mow into 2.5 hours.
