Bagger for mower (talk me out of it)

I love the look of a lawn without the clippings. I grew up with a bagger on my Dad's riding mower. I'm thinking of getting a bagger for my John Deere mower. I thnk I've forgotten the pain in the arse of stopping to bag the clippings and having all those bags.
Someone talk me out of this.
FYi I'm on 1 acre.

On an acre lot, hell no. Unless maybe you have a burn pile

a bagger will fill up far too many times on that size lot to be useful...
have you thought about just mowing more frequently with a mulching mower?...

Mulch kit, if you keep it mowed frequently

I do have a burn pile and I'm only thinking about using it in the back yard

If you have that much thatch when you mow, you're doing something wrong.
True for any type of grass: you shouldn't take off more than 1/3 of the height when mowing.

Get a good mulching mower.

Don't do it. Get a mulch kit and mow a little more often

I am honestly not sure that a burn pile would even work well with that amount of green clippings coming in every week....they would basically just have to decay due to the moisture...

If you have a compost pile, do it sparingly just to add nitrogen/carbon to it. Outside of that, I agree w/ everyone else

Bag the most important part. Mulch the rest.

This is what I started thinking last night. I really only need to bag a small part of my back yard. The back grow faster than the front. This is the reason for all of the clippings. I mow at least once a week, weather permitting.
I do have both a compost and burn pile.
FTR I have a John Deere D140
