Problem with mower.
Bosch Rotak 370 ER about 4 years old.
I know when the grassbox is full as it leaves the cuttings on the lawn. However it has now started doing this when the grassbox is only one third full, presumably a loss of power somewhere.
Any ideas on the cause - and hopefully remedy.

sounds to me like the bit that connects the mower portion to the box may be clogged. possibly due to cutting when the grass is damp (which has been nearly impossible to avoid this year!).I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe and Old Style Money Saving boards.

Like wise. UNPLUG IT FIRST, turn upside and look, you may need to stick something up or down the grass chute, hence unplug for safety

Another possibility is there is no airflow through the grassbox, check the inside surface of box, it may be clogged by damp clippings.
