WOW!!!! I have hated raking leaves my whole life, and at 53 I finally decided enough. I had bought an L2000 tractor in the spring , so this fall I sprang for the 3 bin hard bagger.
I can't beleive I let $1350.00 between the tractor, & bagger make me do all that hard work for so long. I kinda enjoyed...

“This unit will not hold up under significant use”

I mow two acres and I bag the grass every time I mow. I bought this unit but after 1 and a half Summer's use it has basically fallen apart. There are minimal welds on the area where the arms that hold the bags attach to the unit that bolts onto the back of the tractor. After bouncing around for a Summer...

My experience in ordering the bagger on-line for pickup later the same day was excellent. It took about 30 minutes or so ( my wife helped) to assemble and start using it. It worked very nicely for picking up leaves, although it takes a few minutes to get used to the bag full indicator. This is the best $349 I ever spent. No more leaves to rake!!
4 years ago we moved into our home with a half acre wooded lot. For the past 4 years I have used a blower and rake to clear the leaves in the fall. Each time it would take me 3 evenings after work to do the whole yard, only to have to redo it all over again 5-6 more times before the last leaf fell. This year I said enough. I went online, where I found this beauty on sale. It is the best decision I ever made!!! When I got it home I had it hooked up and ready to go within 15 minutes. I had the entire half acre lot cleared in under an hour and a half! Plus I didn't feel like someone had just put me...

I purchased the 3-bin bagger and absolutely love the way it cleans the clippings in my yard. I am female and it was simple to assemble & attach to my mower. I think choosing the "hard" bagger was a good idea. The mesh bins would be too flimsy to handle when full and might rip & tear. I give this product a 5 star rating!!!
Used it for the first time last night and it worked fine. No problem with assembly, only took 15 minutes. I have about 2/3 of an acre and had to unload 3 times but the lawn looks great. It did leak a little grass around the tube leading into the hopper, but a little adjustment fixed that. I am very happy with it.
I gave this 4 stars. It would have received 5 but there are a few problems. As others have mentioned the rubber piece holding the two pieces of the chute together attaches on one end to a metal stud. This stud is nothing more than a screw and it came loose and popped off after the first few uses. I was able to fix it with a larger washer but clearly this wasn't thought out well. Secondly, the weight of the chute rests on the right side of the deck and with my mower this results in a slightly lower cut on the right side.
Others have mentioned the chute clogging. I experience this when I get to the...

This bagger works great! I originally bought a 2 bin but it filled up to fast. It works great! My 42 in mower grinds up the grass and leaves. Guy Next door he puts out 6 bags to my 3. Works great!
Just got the bagger and used once but so far works great.Installed on my 42'' pro perfectly in about 15 min great fit on my machine.
i got this back when i got my mower 2 years ago the bagger has out lasted the mower .the ring around the tube i had to glue it in place .was my only down fall. but i love this bagger ..i have no got a 46 inch tractor i hope it will fit .if not ill replace the part that touches the mower deck and keep useing it ... i would be lost with out this bagger .. wish i could up grade to the soft bags but oh well ... great product ..
I use my lawn tractor for an easy one acre lawn around my home. This bagger was easy and very functional, but it only lasted 10 months. The plastic lid cracked around the latch handle opening device and eventually cracked in half like an egg. Do not know if the manufacturer had a bad batch of plastic making it particularly brittle? Store would not do an exchange return because more than 30 days. Customer Service would not provide a credit to exchange. Customer Service trying to get the manufacturer (Craftsman) to honor a one year warranty.
I'm very happy with the Hard Bagger, it works great. I had no negative issues with this product. I just love it.
I bought this attachment with my new Craftsman GT5000 tractor and have been very satisfied with its performance. Using this bagging attachment, my lawn looks clean and well-manicured after every cutting, and I no longer have to rake up my cuttings. My 3 acre lawn has a lot of areas that require trimming around shrubs and other obstacles, and driving with this bagging attachment requires caution because of its width. Once the operator gets used to the extra width, though, there is no problem in maneuvering close to trees, shrubs, etc. I leave the upright supports for the attachment permanently mounted...

This bagger did not do the job. The bins are way to small. When the indicator stopped spinning, it was time to empty the bins. I lifted the top so I could empty them. The middle bin was over filled, while the left bin was about 1/2 full, and the right bin had hardly any grass in it. The chute was packed full from top to bottom. I had to take the two sections of the chute apart to get the grass out. Tried it again, and had the same results. Took it off, cleaned it up, put it back in the box, and returned it. It did not perform like I thought it would, very disappointed with this bagger. Also the...

I borrowed my father-in-laws 2-bin hard bagger and I was hooked. I got the 3-bin hard bagger and have used it for the past 3 years. I fill these bins up 50 to 75 times per year, and it's still going strong. For leaf bagging, I go over everything with the mulching cover on and the deck set high to chop everything up, then go over it with the bagger with the deck set pretty low. It cleans like a vacuum. I couldn't live without it!
i use this bagger hard for many years and it help up the bins need to be one unit not 2 but my drill and some zip ties fixed that i love zip ties and for people who dont need to worry about storage i would do the same need a beter way of tell you when full tho i am thinking like the propane cans thing that pulls it down when full and move up as it get liter come on sears u know u can make something like that but it all good
