Well, you simply have to use them as intended. You go 'round obstacles
from the non-discharge side, obviously.

Two rounds clockwise clears the bagger discharge/chute from obstructions
such as fences/hedges/house, whatever; then lay out the lands as
appropriate for counter-clockwise mowing.

Excess stuff in the way of mowing needs fixing, anyway, bagger or not.
