Now that I leaves are starting to fall I figured it was finally time to assemble the bagging system onto my CrossoverT 80v lawn tractor. Assembly was fairly straight forward except connecting the lower chute to the deck opening. The two rubber with hook connectors are very hard to seat. There is an obvious slot for one but I cannot figure out where the other should hook. There is a hole in the deck that I used but it does not seem to be ideal. I may drill another hole in the lip of the deck. Anyway, my back yard with very sparce grass and a light cover of dry leaves was tackled first. The system did an excellent job. Next, my front yard with thick green grass. I tried to mow at 3" but the chute would continuously clog. After clearing it a few times I tried 3.5". The worked very well. No clogs. The only other issue is that with the bagger attached I cannot store the mower in my shed. It is now parked in the garage. Luckily there is room. I may shop for a canvas covering that will protect the mower with the bagger installed and leave it outside until I am done with mowing and leaf collection for the season.
It always gets clogged!! I have to stop every 5 minutes to unclog it!! It's super annoying!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Sue Hughes,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with use. Grass build-up or damage to the underside of the deck can cause the grass to catch and clog. The underside of the deck should be smooth so that the grass moves freely around the deck, up the chute, and into the bag. Our ride-on lawn mowers feature a washing port that can be accessed from on top of the deck. Please visit the manual and refer to the instructions for full details.

It is difficult to attach tube to mower deck. Think they could make it simpler to connect. One thing on the mower itself, going around an area with a landscape border you can't get the mower deck close to the, in my case rocks around a tree, without the rear tire going over the border. Didn't have that issue with my old John Deere mower.
The bagger is well designed as far as I can tell but only came with one bag. I called customer service and was promised a call back the next day to resolve. Never heard anything. Very disappointed. Kind of stuck with an expensive mower and bagger kit I can’t use.
