Andreas,
Mine has a collector, but you have to cut the grass weekly, otherwise this has a propensity for getting blocked if you try cutting long grass (as it retains the moisture more).
Mine is a Lawn-flite MTD E130 - it's almost as old as the Cossie
.
yeh it says 12.5 hp, but with the use its probably worn in and pushing 13 now
and look at this, you wouldnt stand a chance
also i note you have a collection box, where as mine is a bio chip. so your at a weight disadvantage. especially it we were to compete while cutting. youd get slower and id get quicker as id loose weight in fuel
mine is hydrostatic operation. which means instant drive, that 1/2 second you loose in the gear change. ill have you off the line!
oh and mines a 2001 model, so must have had some areo dynamic improvments. Note number plate of my landy acting as a areo foil instead for the orange nose cone
