Rating Summary
Bought this bagger because I have a large yard that seems to grow faster than normal. It was very easy to install and works great. My only complaint would be that if you are not paying attention and you let the bags overfill just a little, the bagger will start to clog. But, if you pay attention and...

I bought the 2 bin and returned it immediately once I saw how small the bins were and decided to spring for the 3 bagger. Assembly and mounting was a piece of cake. I lines the bins with bags for easier disposa. I have yet to find optimal conditions for this to work 100%. It seems to clog very...

I really liked the bagger it was easy to assemble and great when using it. Took a lot of grass and leaves to fill it up. The only part that I did not like is that there was not a hitch attach to the bagger assembly. You have to use the existing hitch to put on the assembly so instead of just taking off the bags to use my cart, I have to take off the whole assembly for the bags. Next time add another hitch on the assembly.
This is the only bagger I've ever purchased, assembled and mounted, but it was a breeze. I really like the soft bins a lot more than I thought I would. They are light weight and have a handle on the bottom, making it very easy to empty them out.
The middle bin will normally fill up first, but when it does, I just swap it with the most empty bin and keep on mowing. As I've seen in most other bagger reviews, the little spinning wheel that's supposed to let you know if the thing is full or not is useless, but other than that, this is a pretty good product.
The biggest con I have for ALL of the...

Buying this, I knew the capacity still would not be enough for the 1 acre yard I have as I have to empty this bagger frequently. But, it is a lot cheaper than buying a yard vac and easier to install and use than a yard vac. At first the plastic that makes up this unit feels light and gives me the feeling that I am going to break it, but it is durable enough so far, probably because I am careful with the unit. Sometimes getting the chute to fit over the opening of the mower deck can be tricky with the deflector springing down in your way, but it really is not that bad.
Unfortunately, the bag...
read full review »Picked up my order and in 15 minutes I was able to use the grass catcher. Went with the 9 bushel based on other reviews and don't regret. Neighber was amazed when he borrowed my mower and was able to do all of his 1 acre lot without emptying. Easy to empty. Would have given it 5 stars if I could still use the hitch without needing to remove the grass catcher.
Assembly was very easy, as was the attachment to the tractor. Capacity far exceeded my expectations, it holds a lot of grass clippings. I had no problem with the fit of the grass chute, no leakage at all. My problems have been with the plastic cover. It cracked with the first use. I repaired the crack with some sheet metal and pop rivets. By the end of the summer the cover was basically in two pieces. I'm going to try to put it back together with more sheet metal and rivets. I would think that for the price, which I now believe is much more than it's worth, the plastic cover could be beefed up...
read full review »All around a great piece of equipment to have. It arrived 2 days earlier than I expected and I had it installed within 30 minutes. Assembly was extremely easy. One person noted that they had a ¼ inch gap between their mower deck and lower assembly piece. I had this happen as well when I first installed it, but with a little finesse it popped right into place with no gap. I have a one acre yard and had to empty the bags twice but I think that was partly b/c I had 2 yrs worth of dead grass clippings hiding in my yard which it promptly sucked right up. It picks up grass and leaves...

This bagger is the best. It holds a large amount of clippings and is very easy to put on and take off. Just go slow when the grass is either wet or a little taller than normal. The heavier the debris the easier it is to clog the shoot.
I am very pleased.
Bottome line: If your lawn is big enough that you need a riding mower, then it is too big for this attachment. Total waste of money. It is very easy to install, which is good because your're going to be uninstalling after the first use. The problem is that the bags fill up almost immediately. You have to keep getting off and on your mower to empty them, so this is hardly a timesaving device. Get the pull behind yard sweeper.
