MTD Soft Twin-Bin Grass Bagger for Lawn Tractors 42-in to 46-in, 6.5 Bushels

Greatower attachment

The design of the clippings/leaf shoot is very poor. Most debris gets stuck in the shoot making the bagger unusable.

Definitely worth having 😊

Bought two years ago with a 42in Pony. As with many other reviewers, surprised with the unexpectedly flimsy construction, given the price. Got off to a bad start when when trying to dismount the bagger and found not one, but two of the bolts with the captive plastic handles broke when they were being removed by hand in the normal way. Finding replacements was a time consuming pain in the neck. The grass collection works but is frequently interrupted by the need to clear blockages from the delivery hose which developed a spit from being connected and disconnected so frequntly. I only every mow completely dry grass, but even then, find it necessary to make several passes, starting at 5 and lowering the cutting height each time to minimise the clogging. Otherwise, I'd point out that the window is useless for checking the load in the bags - after a few outings it became opaque and uncleanable and the lid doesn't seal well enough on the left side (when seen from the back). Lastly, the lid opens more than 180 degrees and the moulded hinge is clearly destined to fail before long. I have installed a support just aft of the driver's seat to reduce the stress on the hinge and it works very well - See the attached photos.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the bagger attachment but leaves blow out the right front of the deck instead of into the bagger. If that can be fixed or resolved the rating would be 5 stars!
