Default Wet, wet, wet

I have given up on trying to get the tractor mower to collect the
clippings, it has just been far too wet the past couple of years - the
cuttings just stick in the collection duct and build up until it
extends into the cutting deck then jams the blade. The jammed blade
then wrecks the drive V belt.

My first mod, was to fit a flap diverting cuttings from entering the
duct, but even that choked up. So what I have done now is take the duct
off completely.

Anyone else having issues with their mowers jamming up due to the
constant wet weather over the past two years?
