John Deere - 2 Bag Bagger for 42-inch and 48-inch Mower Decks
JW - Bagger 42 100 Series
Great explanation of the bagger!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent review. Very thorough. Good camera work too. Thanks for taking your time to make the video!
thanks for this video, explained everything well before I went and purchased a bagger, and gave me some good ideals
Thank you for showing how the bigger catches on the bottom. My husband and I have argued about how the chute connects as he has been using the wrong holes and the bigger has fallen off or gotten plugged.
We do do put bags in the cloth bags but overhang them a bit and wrap around the hinge a bit. We have a large yard and we used to fight a garbage can like your blue one till we both lost it!
Yard work can be rewarding but sometimes you have to wonder if someone enjoys making it hard for the entertainment value for your neighbors.
you married the wrong guy
Just big thanks for the video, and up close shots; I inherited a L-118 w the bagger attachments all over the place -and you showed me how they all went together, so hat's off !!! (I'd make a 3-4' composting box to skip the direct bagging, load will compress/breakdown over time of course, use it to fill low spots, or fill a bed to take to dump natural waste section) Cheers !!!!
+Llamabanger thanks for watching, JL.
great, thanks so much! really helped us with our new grass catcher
Glad the video was helpful, thanks for watching, JL.
Great review. I am considering a JD tractor & bagger to replace my current Toro rider. Nice to see a review after a season of use. Your review is helping me lean toward spending a little more for JD.
Update: I bought one and have not been disappointed!
I agree with the 'compost your clippings' crowd. I started composting about 30 years ago, and grass clippings are like raw gold!
I have a tumbler for my compost now, and it really helps compost everything down to a rich soil-like material.
I'm going to have to figure out how much I can lift @ a time into the tumbler.
Just started my compost pile! thanks for watching.
Thank's Lenderman, That sounds like a plan to me.. I'll try in in the fall...
watching you empty those bags was painful man. lol
Thank you ever so much for this video.. you are a very good narrator.
You are welcome, thanks for watching!
Thanks for the vid. Helped me remember how to put my bagger together. Saved me some time. Thanks again.
Thanks for watching, glad the video was helpful. JL.
wow i am literally putting this up as i watched this. thank you sooo much for the video you have no idea how much of a help you are! i was very frustrated putting this together lol thank you again! best video about this on youtube!
So glad the video helped. We are coming into the season where we will need it the most!!! Thanks for watching, JL.
Thanks for the video. Great help!
Hi Asa, Thanks for the tip and for watching. I apologize for the delay in responding but today is the first day that I have used the bagger in a while. I was going to try the bungee, but instead I let the seal of the top of the hopper keep the bag in place and it actually worked very well. That said, I only put a trash bag in one of the collector bags and it filled about half way so it was very easy to get out. I am interested to see how well it comes out when it is completely full and bulging! This was the very first attempt at using the trash bag, so thank you for your inspiration!!! JL
Lenderman Shop try lawn & leaf bags as they are larger
The right bag on ours usually only fills halfway like yours. My dad insists that I should undo the bungie part of the two tubes on the side and remove the tubing part from the hole on the bag lid every time I empty the bags but I don't see why. Also, I need to get a big round can like you have. Would make life much easier.
The old grass catchers roughly same size and design as yours use to have 2 windows, one on top and a second directly behind the seat. That stopped with 2003 models, but the windows get dirty and are then useless. The X-Series 7 bushel bagger has a red indicator on the chute for air flow if it plugs up, no windows on hopper, so just feel the bags from the seat if they are full on both types.
Thanks for the video - helped out!
+Marc Brown Thanks for watching Marc, JL.
Thank you. I have a different type plastic trash can. I use a bungee cord around the outside of the trash can and over the top of the black plastic bag when dumping leaves and grass clippings. :)
Thanks for the suggestion. This was a very poor demonstration of emptying the bags!!! Thanks for watching, JL.
Great video. Thanks
I hook the back corner where it connects to hold the bag and also use extra large bags so they hang over the outside edge. It works fairly well....much easier than what i just watched you do...lol
I agree, i made it look really hard. Check out my update at ruclips.net/video/yIPOHAafIGU/видео.html
why don't you compost the clippings?
Hey friend! We obviously had many similar duties and experiences. I bought my Craftsman 17 horse 3 solid bin "bagger" in 2003, ran like a swiss watch for 16 years. Two months ago I turned the starter switch and POW, gigunda explosion. We bought a JD, close to 3k , and have found the solid bin head and circle over the JD bags. My bins are 16 years old and would have been serviceable til my death. And 3, not 2. $400 clams a ripoff, slower----pfui. Sears wanted 4 to 5 skins to repair the Craftsman, so I settled for the $100 dollar diagnosis fee and tried to peddle the CN, No nibbles whatsoever so it looks like el junkoman soon enough. The JD is a joy to use but the 25 new horses eat about 3 times the gas of the one cylender Bs engine of the CM. After I saw your vid. I wondered if you have ever seen what I had: the green plastic inverted loader I bought at the hdwre store at about 38 $, Worth its weight in gold. I took the full bin from the CM and quick dumped it into the green plastic receiver(quick and no crapola all over the ground.) When full you pull the ties of the 39 gallon black plastic bag placed ahead in the green plastic receiver. Quicko!! The I rolled the 25 to 30 bags along the side of the driveway all the way out to the road. No spoiled lawn. No damage to driveway. Took 6 or 8 bags to our disposal site(20 minutes) in our crv. About 8 hours of labor for the whole job. Now with the new JD we'll see this year. I will say 25 horses is a big difference. Snarky Four Seven.
Thanks for the suggestion I will look into the receiver you mention. How have the leaves been so far this fall?
Use clippings as compost just pile it up itll break down
To know if it's working, just reach one hand back and feel if air is coming out at the corner. You won't feel a lot of air because of the mesh bags. but if you feel a little bit of airflow leaking, it's working.
I've also notice that I can just look at the bag directly under the chute itself. If is puffed and I see a little debris coming out the top grated vent I know it's working....if not, it's either clogged or full. Thanks for watching! JL
I can see why my dad made us rake the grass! Good job on the vid
For everyone wondering why he doesn’t compost it’s a lot more work than it seems.
I do my own composting. I have about an acre. Usually have about 3-4 piles going at one time. When it’s time to stir those piles it can be a huge shore. I only stir about once every 3 months which slows down the decomposing but I’m just one man and it’s surprising how much you can get in one single mowing.
When my piles get a little too big for me to handle I mulch the grass until I free up the room
i used to have a similar set up until i got smart and got a mulching blade. my grass looked a lot better since then with no other effort.
I have also used the mulching blades, however, I found the high lift blades give a better cut in my situation. thanks for watching.
I use a 38X58 2mil. trash can liner that I purchase at a local janitorial supply house. It's big enough that you can tie a not to secure it inside of the grass catcher. Works fabulously.
That's great Greg, do you put a bag in both catchers? Thanks for watching, JL.
@@lendermanshop Yes sir, I do.
Awesome video. I’m definitely getting a JD bagger. I have a lot of shade in my back yard like you. I live in central TX. What kind of grass do you have? Thanks!
We have mostly tall fescue up here in southeastern PA. With the amount of shade we have, I do nave a tough time growing thick grass on many parts of the yard. I think you will be happy with the bagger, it has worked well for me though it is a bit smaller than I would like. Thanks for watching, JL.
Try using a couple of bungy cords around the top of the trash can to hold the plastic bag in place.
Did you install the 'hopper screen' in the hopper top? Not clear on how to do this (John Deere refused to assist.)
Great review! Quick question: In the video you said you could add garbage bags in the craftsman bagger but not the Deere? I have this model and found 33 Gallon bags fits perfect.
I heard you should use the mesh for adequate airflow, though. Thoughts?
Grant Wallace Hi Grant, Thanks for watching. I agree, I have found that the black leaf bags work pretty well but have not tried any mesh ones as the air seems to flow pretty well out the hopper vent. Using the blue can in the video was just me being pathetic!!! Take care, JL.
What I do for bagging is before I attempt to cut the lawn is I put the plastic bags in the bag prior to cutting. Once the bagger is full I then open the lid and push the grass clippings down. Then pull on the plastic bag tie strings and close the bag. Once both bags are tied I then lift the bagger off the rider and flip it upside down and shake the full plastic bag out of the bagger. Now you have a bag full of clippings and no mess. You then install another plastic bag for the next cut. Less mess:-)
Hi Brenda, Thanks for watching and the advice. I think I now do a similar thing as I had posted in my update here ruclips.net/video/yIPOHAafIGU/видео.html It just took me a while to figure out!!!! Take care, JL.
Bob La Cross great idea thanks
I know this is a old post but if you buy a mulching kit and some Gator X blades you won’t need all that crap, and its better for your lawn
Good point! Thanks for watching.
with the bagger removed from the tractors harness, it looks like the bag will stand alone ,so why not slip the garbagebag over the filled bag to the ground and just turn the whole thing over , thanks for showing us how to install the complete catcher jerry
Dude, you hit the nail on the head when you said those holes for the hooks would be the first place you would scratch your tractor. I got my tractor (120) two days ago and a few hours ago I went out and put on the grass bag catcher. The shorter side does not want to stay in for some reason and I have to keep pushing it down. Any suggestions?
Hi Midwest, sorry to hear you are having issues with the mount. My immediate thought is to be sure you have your lock pin in but I am sure you have already seen to that. After that, my thought is a bungee cord looped over that shorter arm and then down to the hitch mount hole. I would not be happy doing this myself on a new machine but you don't want that arm to un-knowingly come out and then make the entire assembly torque while going over bumps, etc. I hope you get this worked out, thanks for watching, JL.
thanks for video it is really help me.
Glad I could help, thanks for watching. JL
and my John Deer same and bagger same, but it is clogging grass all the time. I dont know what i doing wrong?
TheElinora1 sorry to hear you are having such problems. Is the grass very high and wet?? When I have that much grass I will cut without bagging first and then go back over the yard with the bagger on. It takes a little bit longer but the result is usually less grass in the bags(leaving some grass clippings on the yard is good anyway) and less clogging because it will be a bit dryer. I also cut the grass weekly. I hope that helps, JL.
I bought a good used JD L111, later I enquired at my local JD dealer about a bagger kit , they said $1000.. hah. not likely.. I checked around and all the dealers were at $1000 or more..
A couple of weeks later the local guys called.. would I pay $500. I declined then they said we can do $400 thats it... now I have a bagger setup on my JD.. HA..
ps. that was about 4 years ago and the bags are still good.

I was excited to see the PA license plate on your Honda, but wasn't totally sure it was PA. Once I saw the "Little's" sticker on the bagger, I knew you were from PA! Awesome! Do you ever have a problem with leaves getting jammed in the chute and not making it to the bag? Tim from Telford!
Hey Tim, Yep we are in Media, Delaware county!! I don't have any chute issues unless the bags fill up. I have the high lift blades on now so that really helps. The other day it seemed I was only going 50 ft before I had to stop and empty!! Guess I need to rake a little as well. Enjoy your fall, JL.
How does the bagging system work with the leaves in the fall? I have ton's and ton's of leaves and am hoping that this system will mulch them into tiny pieces and not fill up to quickly...
Hi Jack, Unfortunately I do not find that these blades mulch that well unless I use the much cover that I recently purchased. That being said, this past fall, I mulched the leaves first and then went over again collecting them in the bagger. That seemed to work pretty well. I know it sounds like twice the amount of time, but the mulching part can go pretty quickly. Otherwise, since the bags are on the smaller side they will fill up very fast. Thanks for watching, JL.
I suggest a piece of elastic band, like in a bungee cord, from your local hardware store around the trash can to hold the bag in place. Much easier....
Will give that a try as well. thanks for watching.
Other than the repetitive craftsman reference , the video it's very good thou..!
Thanks for watching! JL
Are you using mulching blades for mulching and HI lift blades for bagging? Apparently the Hi lift blades create good suction to pull everything into the bags
William Mcquade Hi William, No, I have not changed the blades since I bought the tractor. It is something that I will consider and post an update if I do. Thanks for watching, JL.
I changed my blades to the hi lift blades for bagging. The difference is phenomenal!
Bottom piece is a PITA, u made it look easy
I would get some clogging when the grass was damp, the high lift blades took care of that, not a single clog with the high lift blades. I wish there was some way to shut off the bagger, I wanted to bag the front yard for neatness, I could care less about the back yard, I have a HUGE back yard and it has to be emptied 3-4 times just for the back yard. I tried leaving off the collector bags, but that covered me and the back of the mower in clippings, if you take off the tubing that runs between the deck and the bins, the bins flop around a lot and bent some of the hardware. I used it for about 3 years but as my back got worse I couldn't lift the filled collection bags anymore and had to remove the entire system. I really like the look of not having clippings, but when you get old things change! LOL
Hi G56AG, thanks for watching. Maybe in the back yard you could cut first and then collect the clippings on a second pass and that might make it a little lighter for you. I usually leave my bagger on all the time even when I am not collecting the clippings, I am sorry to hear that yours flops around. Just curious if you still ride your Gold Wing?? I've been riding a Nighthawk for almost 30 years and just purchased a V-Star 950. As a musician and church organist I truly appreciate your selection of music for your Colorado 2005 video!!!! Take care, JL.
@@lendermanshop I had major back surgery in Oct, unfortunately my riding days are over, I had to quit riding a couple of years ago, 300,000 miles will mark the end of my 60 yrs of riding. I almost cried when I sold my Wing last month.
@@G56AG Sorry to hear that, I know that must have been tough. Even riding with a good back some of the bumps in the road can be very painful. Take care. JL
Hire the neighbor's kids to rake the yard,,lol..But seriously from what I've seen,no bag attachment is really perfect.All I can think of is using bigger trash cans and bags.Good video.
+garageguy879 Yep, it's not too bad. Thanks for watching, JL.
Thanks for the review(s)! I'm wondering about what your system is in the Fall for collecting leaves. You mentioned that you mulch first, then bag...does that mean that you take off the entire bagging unit, install the mulching guard, mow, then put on the entire bagging unit again? I've got an enormous about of leaves to take care of, and your system sounds like a good one, I'm just wondering if you've got a shortcut in terms of not having to take the entire bagging unit on and off--that seems like quite a hassle. Also, you mentioned in one of the comments that you were going to try the hi-lift blades. How did those work for the leaves in the Fall? Thanks again!
Hi Znamenny, Thanks for watching. I actually leave the entire unit on my tractor all of the time, except for the chute. I take the chute off for the initial cut or leaf mulch and then put the chute on for leaf/clipping pick up. I have a mulch kit review here ruclips.net/video/wbc0a_i1j1k/видео.html
and a follow up bagger review here ruclips.net/video/yIPOHAafIGU/видео.html. I actually ordered both mulching and high lift blades. I like the high lift as they get more of the small seeds and other debris off the ground. They work so well that sometimes even the moss and dirt comes up. I ordered the JD high lift blades. Hope that helps, have a great day, Joel.
That does help, thank you. When you do your first pass to mulch the leaves, do you put the mulching guard on, or just let the leaves shoot out the side? I'm just wondering if the high lift blades will cut the leaves into small enough peaces to decrease number of bags. Thanks again.
Znamenny Good question! I put the mulching cover on for the initial pass. I figure the second pass with the bagger attached the leaves will be mulched enough.
Thanks for sharing .....just curious about your leg? No offense intended
How's the wear and tear on the chute? I looked at some today, and the chute just feels incredibly cheap and flimsy. Also, how effective is that bagging setup when compared with a mower with a power blower?
Hi Matt, The chute seems to be as sturdy as the Craftsman one I had before, though I see some signs of drying on the rubber strap that connects the top and bottom pieces. I have not used a power blower before so I cannot really comment. I will say that it does a decent job of picking up the leaves and clippings and unless you have over two acres of leaves or landscape for others, the blower attachment may be a bit overkill. Thanks for watching, JL.
Isn't the indicator for how full your bags are in the little box kind of between your legs on the mower itself underneath the seat?
Hi Rem Mer, I think you might be thinking of the fuel gauge that is just below the seat. The tank is under the seat and the gauge is what you see below and in between. thanks for watching, JL.
Lol oh I see. Well that's the last time I listen to my husband when it comes to the mower. Thanks!
Just purchased for my x300 series and was wondering what height you set deck at doesnt seem to pick up as well as I anticipated thanks
Hi George, I usually set my height at 3. Even so I do see some leaves coming out just ahead of the shoot from under the deck. I have learned to not concern myself too much with that as the number of leaves going in the bags is far greater!! Thanks for watching, JL.
Thanks for the info very informative video
I had the same Craftsman for 15 years and the 3 bin bagger was much superior, held more and the contents slid out easily. The John Deere bagger bulges with the grass and doesn't come out easily and the window is pretty useless when trying to check fullness. Also there is a lot of blow by out the front right side I never had with the craftsman. Maybe a different blade would work better. I have the 125 and height setting handle catches you every time you dismount the tractor. The craftsman briggs and stratton motor died but I have often wished I would just have had it repaired. Thanks for the video
+Ben E Hi Ben, Thanks for the note. I agree the blow out on the front right is quite remarkable. I just ordered mulching blades yesterday as some reviewers stated they worked well with the bagger. I also am considering some sort of home made damn for that side of the deck. We'll see how it goes!! JL
+Joel Lenderman I tried a plastic blocker but it didn't work very well. The only thing I have found that works for leaves is to keep mowing clockwise and blowing the leaves to the center. and the best way to tell when the bagger is full is to reach back and feel the bag on the right side.
Where can I get a replacement bag for this exact bagger? Thx.
You may need to check John Deere OEM parts. Or a dealership which might be a bit costly. Thanks for watching, JL.
why couldnt you place the plastic/brown bag before cutting?
You know... I have not tried that! I think I will give a go the next time I collect the clippings. Thanks for watching, JL.
The problem I've run into is that the bagger seems to lose suction and won't pick up. As far as I can see i've installed it properly and the first few times I cut grass this season it worked fine. Then, the grass started to clog up in the lower tube. I take the tubing apart, clear the clog, reassemble the tubes and, sometimes the bagger picks up and sometimes the tube clogs. Anyone else have this problem and, more importantly, know why it happens and how to fix it? Thanks.
Robert Warwick same issue here. Worked flawlessly. Now it just clogs and doesn't pick up.
You probable need High Lift Blades
Are you mowing wet or moist grass? That tends to clog the chute often. Also you need the high lift blades on to help create a vacuum making the grass go into the chute easier.
I have the same issue. Any way around this?
Use high lift blades, cut when not wet, mow often, do not wait till the grass is too tall.
Why not just compost the clippings. I have a conner of my yard behind trees where I dump the grease and spread it out a bit. It decomposes fast and less hassle. Just dump the new clippings over the old. I've been doing that for 15 years and the pile does not grow.
Hi marcducati, Thanks for the suggestion. I was able to do that when we lived in a different house years ago and I miss the option. I have neighbors all around now and additionally I am trying to hold back bamboo from growing further into my yard. I find the less I let leaves, grass, branches, etc., accumulate, the easier it is to control the bamboo. Thanks for watching, JL.
Try buying bigger plastic garbage bags and inserting them into your bagger bags and put a rubber strap around the tops to hold the plastic bags in place. Then you can just remove the plastic bags with the grass contents already in the plastic bags.
I eventually discovered that I can put plastic bags in and just crease them over the top. With the cover down they stay in place pretty well. Here is an updated video in which I show some of that. ruclips.net/video/yIPOHAafIGU/видео.html thanks for watching, JL.
Why don't you put the plastic bag down inside the grass baggier and just remove the bag when full ? And
as far as knowing when it is full just reach back and feel the bag its self. That works for me with mine..
you have all those woods behind your yard and you bag up all your grass?!?!! You do know that all of that is biodegradable?! Just dump those leaves and grass in the woods! Hell... you have a big enough yard to make a garden! Put a garden in, make a compost bin and use all of the clippings and leaves to make compost! Cuts back on your trash bill by 1/2!! You city folk!
Trash Bill by half? I pay one price per year calculated into taxes and trash guy comes once a week if it fits in trash can they take it I pay no more or no less money. What do you mean cut trash bill in half?
@@ProductKingReviews Obvisouly he does not pay taxes.
@@ProductKingReviews In my town if you put clippings in the trash they will stop taking the real trash. Period.
I have an old 1995 craftsman tractor, with the hard "bags" no problem emptying. This soft "bag" is stupid. I have one in my other house and it's horrible trying to dump it into a paper bag (we must use in NJ)
They are not as easy to handle but I have gotten use to them by now. thanks for watching! JL
How do you know when your bags are full? With the soft bag you just reach back and feel the fullness. Besides the hard bags take up more storage space. No thank you.
Whats with the screen on the inside of the topper. What is the use for it?
Matt G-Win Hi Matt, If you are referring to the big plastic grate on the right, that is where the "exhaust" goes out. The plastic screen is there just to keep more of the clippings inside the bags. Thanks for watching, JL.
+Matt G-Win My God! How did you see that?? I actually watched this video just to try to see where to install mine - I completely missed it in the video until you asked about it - thanks!
Me too,every video,thats all I wanted to
know,how to fit the weird hopper screen.
How does it do with damp grass?
It does okay. But if the grass is high, such as now, then you might want to cut first and go back over with the bagger and collect the clippings! thanks for watching! JL
The benefits of living in a country life you can just have your own breakdown pile of grass. To save our mother earth.
put your black bag in your bagger that may save time hope this helps
To find out if it’s bagging reach back and feel the bag..it’s easy
Thanks for watching Donald. This bagger is really working okay, I have had a few years to get used to it! Nothing really to complain about!
That's what I do too.
too bad it did not have a zipper on the bottom of it to release grass clippings
Thats a great idea, maybe not even a zipper, a good velcro arrangement would probably do it.
Does anyone else have issues with the bagger? Mine always gets clogged.
Hi Dan. Mine too. The little red wheelie was a monumental joke. A clear plastic unit coming out of the deck would have been VISIBLE. I was forever stopping the machine take ing the the whole lower chute parts apart and digging all the packed crap down down to the blades out to clear things, then reverse the process to get started again. The biggest time saver was my "Lawn Funnel" made by Young mfg. co. of St'Louis. TIME SAVER and it looks no older than when I bought it years ago.(Mebbe 25) I would stuff the cut leaves into it with a toy plastic baseball bat and get a good 3 bags of leaves into a 39 gal bag with draw strings. And no worries about rain either. Good Luck. Snarky Four Seven.
5:12 that's where the mulcher plate mounts
Thanks for the info, very good to know! thanks for watching, JL.
I have the baggers and they are so low capacity that they are more trouble than their worth! I paid about 400 dollars Not Worth It! JD should re-evaluate a few things!
Hi Rodney, Though I actually like this bagger, I agree it could be bigger. Thanks for watching, JL.
Might get the lowes john deere bagger for my x300, since getting anything from john deere will empty your wallet real quick smh
Why don't you just put the trash bag in the bagger. That's how I used my craftsman bagger for years. No double handling
The soft grass collector bags on tractor need to breath during operation. The plastic is an idea but on most machines you are going to get an unwanted blowback from the yard clippings and fine dirt. I have a lawn business and have been doing lawns for over 73 years. Besides when filling the soft bags you can reach back and feel how full the bags are. Having to plastic bag clippings has to do with how you need to dispose of clippings. Most cases I use mulching blades and chew the grass fine enough to be left on the lawn as food.
I hate those knit bags too. I didnt read the specs until i opened the unit. Oh no. i wanted plastic so bad
I have gotten used to them at this point and they have held up pretty well. thanks for watching.
looks like you cant have the rear weights option with this tractor with the bagger being attached in the same back slots
you need 2 barrels, put the bag in one, cut the bottom out of the other stick in side fill it up and lift the top barrel out.keep ya from having to mess with the bag so much.
hi Louis, thanks for the suggestion. Using the blue can was pretty pathetic I must say. I actually never empty the clippings that way and not really sure why I chose to do it in the video. I discovered that the trash bag does work pretty well inside the catcher bag. In the fall I just empty into paper lawn bags for leaf collection. Thanks for watching, JL.
Stick the garbage bag in the bagger and use a bungee strap around the rim to hold the bag from falling
funny
Vpg
Im amazed your allowed to use plastic bags for yard waste?
Hi Matt, the plastic is for large quantities of grass clippings only and goes directly into the regular trash. All other yard waste is collected on separate days. I have no idea why grass clippings are not to be included in the yard waste. I check our township webpage regularly to be sure I am following the guidelines. We have started composting this summer so that will help cut down on the grass. I usually don't bag my clippings except for in the spring when the grass is growing out of control. Thanks for watching, JL.
why are u throwing away your campost just dump it in a pow somewhere
I was thinking the same thing. Just dump it in the woods behind you. Seems like a simple solution.
What are you whining about? That was the easiest set up possible.
T=up
Thanks for the review. Btw i could care less about your clippings and composting. Your lawn your life.
Thanks for watching! JL
You can't put a plastic bag in the bin-then where is the air going to escape?
I often put one bag in the bin opposite the chute. It works pretty well and gives enough room for air to pass through. Thanks for watching.
It bags good but it is a pain to put on.
I’m guessing this guy didn’t lose his virginity until he was 45
Umm.... what in God's name are you talking about?
@@lendermanshop Whatever gives that guy hope for himself
It cost $620 now.
I see that it has gone up quite a bit! thanks for watching, JL.
You stop the tractor next to the fence than you dump them bags to your neighbours backyard. Simple enough?! It does get complicated if he is stronger then you...or he wants to check his new 22 cal.
I like this!!
@@lendermanshop I am emptying mine strait to 32 gallon trash cans. In GA they will empty them with yard waste payment which is $10 a month. I love your video...
Pretty good review overall, but you have way too much drama emptying the bags. The obvious problem is your bags are too big for your trash can, that's why the bag falls into the can. The bag should fit tightly over the mouth of the can, you should have to stretch it slightly to fit the can, then the bag won't fall into the can. Then you remove the liner from the can, than compact the clippings and then struggle to empty the bag the rest of the way. Compact the clippings inside the can then you can dump the rest of the bag into the can, I've been doing it that way for several years. Drill a few holes in the can to let air out as you fill the liner and also to break the vacuum when you go to remove the liner from the can. It also helps to tie the top of the bag then turn the can on its side, makes it a lot easier to break the vacuum and just slide the bag out.
why not just get another Craftsman tractor if you were so happy with your old one and its associated accessories?
NO HAT COMmets
Watching people whine about a John Deere lawn mower. Its not a dang tractor. aahaha
Gg
New bags only will not cost that much. My bags are 30 years old. Compost that grass.
Thanks for watching!
Why didn't you just buy a craftsman if you don't like this.
