Aw, bless rosie's heart! She looks to be in good spirits, for all she's been thru. From what I've seen of her over the last several months, I believe she looks & acts much better. That is an impressive looking bagger system. I just love the look & feel of quality american made equipment!
I just wanted to tell you that I love this stuff. I now live in an area of town where I'm the am the only guy around with at gt tractor (so sad eh). Tractor stuff gets in your veins from the time you can walk and will never be transfused out. Thank you for the video
I have a 1988(?) 24 hp Bobcat Jaguar 61'' front mower/rear steer, that I mounted an 8 hp blower that I turned into a suction unit, bolted to the side of it. Built my own tilting leaf box and everything is manual for dumping. It's nowhere near as nice as this unit or any of the newer ones, but it was way ahead of it's time back in 1994. It sure made picking up leaves a breeze, back in the day. Great video and thumbs up !! Hope your pup gets well soon, they really are family :)))
Big fan of those units. A buddy has one for his 1025r and is going to let me try it out this fall. Can't wait! Also, cant wait to see your video on this unit in action! Thanks for sharing!
John Deere told me there was a bracket to attach to that piece on the front tonhold suitcase weights ($250 item), and not to put them on that bumper like you did. It supposedly locks them in place too
Can you do a comparison to JD 140LGX at some time in the near future? Love the great info...Thank you One thing I do not like is that you just dump the clippings.. The JD has containers that you can bag much easier
Soooo. Your deck height (top up and low) is controlled with the same lever that controls the 3pt. hitch. What happens when you raise and lower your deck to the whole collection system ? Does it also go up and down ? Or do you know a way to “disconnect” the 3 pt. hitch or stabilize it ?
Do they offer a quick release clamp for the hose between the blower and the deck? That would come in handy for when that tubing gets plugged. I’ve dealt with issues like that on other vacuum systems I used.
These setups are ok for grass cleanup but when it comes to serious leaf cleanup like in the Northeast in the fall you'll be emptying that small hopper every five minutes.
@@GoodWorksTractors Do you remember that setup JD had for the back of a compact with a giant hopper that would actually be able to raise up hydraulicly and dump in a trailer or low dump. Only seen one years ago but it looked like the ultimate setup but was probably really pricey.
TKV20? Yes, it's more expensive because it's bigger and it's hydraulic. Any dump from the seat sure beats the bags. Those things get heavy when loaded with clippings or wet leaves.
Love everything about it but that hopper is too small. Makes no sense why it would be that small or maybe it's bigger than it looks. How many bushels does it hold?
@@GoodWorksTractors That's only a little more than the 3 bagger on my mower, 9 bushels and that thing fills way too quickly. But the fact you can dump from the seat and doubt you can get that thing to clog so you don't wind up with dirty green arms and hands from unclogging and dumping! 😜
That hopper does look small. I will be comparing this to a tkv20 so I would love to see the operational video. So far the JD MCS20 with their collection unit is out of the picture just because the blower isn’t separately driven. Guess for me it would be how this stacks up against the tkv20.
@@chamoua3968 They should have put a huge container on it, like the landscapers use. I love bagging but hate clogs and stopping alot. This attachment selves the clogging but they could offer a larger collection box as an upgrade.
@@GoodWorksTractors is that the tractor or the vacuum bagger? Also while I am here, are you the good works tractor in Michigan? I heard about it many times and I am curious, get back to me soon!
They aren't on Amazon. Just at www.goodworkstractors.com Cost in the 3xxx's. Good question on weight, I'm not entirely positive. Maybe a few hundred lbs if I were to guess?
@@GoodWorksTractors ah found it: www.goodworkstractors.com/product/buy-tractor-suitcase-weights-wheel-weights/ Cost is pretty good, example: $170 for 105 LB.... I guess most people are buying large ones. Here's another: $59 each: 41 LB Suitcase Weight Anyway cool stuff. Thanks for replying !
Sorry, I was thinking you were asking how much the bagger weighed and cost. No idea where my head was at. 41 lbs for the suitcase weights and $59 a piece as of 10/15/2020.
I own the 3 bag system with powerblower that John Deere sells, here are some questions I would like to see answered in the operation video you do on this product. How does this compare in capacity? With that being PTO driven and metal construction does it to chew up the leafs more? On the 3 bag system you really can't let the bag that is right under the chute fill up because if you do it backs up down the chute than your pulling it apart to clear it out and the blower because its not powerful enough to self clear. How is this system for clogging and unclogging?
@@GoodWorksTractors I'm gonna have to back off a bit, they aren't the only ones to do this but it is a little frustrating not to even get a rough number for budgeting purposes.
I put all of my pricing online. Yet, all I do is spend hours a day answering emails and phone calls asking for pricing about products on my website or asked repeatedly what tractors do I currently have available for sale? Or do I carry pallet forks, do I carry this, that, and the other thing. Every shopper is different in their expectations, so is every business. I like to think that putting as much information as possible on my website saves me lots of time. Who knows, maybe it does, but most times it sure doesn't feel like it. However, I recently responded to a commenter that they could get all the information they needed to know about the product right in the listing on my website (including the link), and they followed up with a comment warning others not to do business with me because I wouldn't regurgitate information from the listing on the spot for him. 🤣 There's never a way to please everyone. There's also many reasons for not putting pricing online and if someone is more than casually interested in a product, they'll make the effort to call anyways. Protero doesn't take orders online, only over the phone. You'd have to talk to them at some point if you wanted to place an order.
Having to hunt for prices for people who are wondering if an item that caught their eye is even worth considering is a big turn off to many! Most of us can't understand why giving a range in price depending on the different variables at this point in time that the video was made is such a problem. So we can decide if it's even worth considering farther/ in the cards for us. Perhaps if you did , it would cut down on the phone time you spend answering repetitive questions.
They have been in business for a long time... and they have terrible customer service. I have a unit from these guys on my Kubota zero turn. It's great! Something broke and I need parts. Called and email numerous times. Nothing. Their stuff is great when it works. If something happens, apparently, you are on your own...
Sorry to hear that. I've had nothing but immediate feedback even before establishing a relationship. I know that doesn't mean much to you, but my experience has been all positive so far. I do know they recently hired some folks to for engineering support, so perhaps they have addressed that past concern?
I've seen similar horror stories, I'm guessing on GTT but it's been a while since I read it. I had basically written them until I recently realized they are located about 100 miles from my house. They can't ignore me if I'm standing right in front of them. :-)

Me too, GWT always puts prices, but tons of companies don't. Not the end of the world.
I haven’t checked Petero’s prices but I’d be willing to bet that system costs $2500 +

I bought one of these units because of your videos. I can't wait to tackle leaves (and bag all year) with this.
Finally got to use mine for the first time today and bent the shaft to the pulley within the first hour picking up wet leaves!
Well it may not be Saturday morning, but watching GWT makes it feel that way! :)
Just trying to help the workday go by a little faster!
Thanks for the Rosie update. I wish her well.

As a lawn care person I have some of there products. There products are usually better build than OEM.

Wishing Rosie well.
Thank you!
There should be a PTO holding bracket attached so you can fold it and have a place for it to be stored instead of dragging it.
Yes, that would be a good product improvement. I mention using a bungie to hold it up.
@@GoodWorksTractors That's actually why I suggested it. Maybe someone could make the suggestion to the manufacture to add something.

Can you add a separate suction hose to the system so you can suck-up leaves/debris from the garden beds?
I don't believe they sell one, but suppose you could probably fashion something up!

whats the cost for a 1025R compared to the terra King

Thanks Drew!
What is the capacity of the hopper? 20 Cu Ft?
18 cu ft/14.5 bushel
Seems that might be too much for a small engine lawn tractor. Pros and cons for this setup vs the bagger system with its own engine.
See Cullen Podolan's post. He thinks the exact opposite, haha!

Even know it’s just your PTO driven still has a belt in the back it’s not 100% PTO. Still have a belt to replace
Rear PTO aren't often a direct drive. Tillers, mowers, blowers, etc. All lead to chains, belts, gears.
Will it fit on bx1880 Kubota
Yes it will
