Lawn Tractor leaf bagger

Anyone try one of these? I wonder if it would work with my BX.

Well, no direct experience with that contraption but, I'll go out on a limb here and say that dragging that big bag around wont work and most likely will break something. If you try it be sure to let us know how it works.

I agree.

It better have a very stout connection.. When that thing fills up with debris that is going to be a lot of stress on the connection..

I wonder if you could lay them on some sort of small wagon as well??

The first thing I noticed was the way the bag was dragged around.

I thought of hooking it up to a wagon/trailer.

Maybe some sort of tackle to hold it up from the ROPS>

You could hide a body in that sack!

No good to me.......

Is it really much different than what many landscapers do by getting a couple of guys to drag a large blue tarp full of leaves to the compost pile.. I suspect it willl work just fine as long as you pay attention (and don't try and back up )

I purchased this last fall to use with a 54" ZTR I also have in a effort to collect more leaves on each pass than the factory collection bagging system. It did work as advertised over few weekends on very dry leaves, but you can't really fill it beyond 1/2 full since it is extremely heavy (>100 lbs) and ackward to try and lift to empty, especially if leaves are wet. I also managed to melt a 5 inch hole in it (repaired with super glue) when I inadvertantly backed up over it and the nylon bag touched the muffler.

It probably would pull easier by attaching it to a drawbar on my BX2360, but I didn't have a MMM deck adapter at the time. If you really want to try it, I'd sugest the heavier duty bag they sell which will last more than one or two seasons. All in all, I wouldn't recommend it over other bagging options.

Wouldn't a large burlap sack and a bunge chord do the same thing? .

I agree with the trailer idea....drag a trailer with the bag inside.....
