Husqvarna (46"/48") Triple Bagger For Tractors

I love the grass catcher. I was raking grass for 2 to 2-1/2 days. So this is saving me much time that I can put to better use. I also appreciate the prompt delivery of the grass catcher. IF I need any more products I would not hesitate to buy from your company. I also liked all the help Jose gave me answering my questions. Thank you.

I'm a worry wart. After 3-4 emails back and forth, all answered courteously and fast, I pulled the trigger. Items came faster than expected. The carton was ripped, but the items were all there, and undamaged. Everything fit fine. It being winter, I've only tried the bagger once, but it works fine and no problems are expected. The mesh baskets work real well. This option is pricey, but is the best solution if your yard is uneven and hilly like mine...my sweeper just didn't get it done. Mowers Direct is a super outfit...I'd use them again in a heartbeat.

In order to empty the three bags, you must remove the upper discharge chute from the three bagger. It is very difficult to do so, and the rubber attachment to the lower chute is also very difficult!

This bagger came packaged very well and, although the box was cumbersome in size, a 2 wheel cart handled it well. While unpacking it and checking it against the contents page of the instructions, I was surprised that it came with an extra chute that connects to a different deck...in other words, I paid for something that I will never use and it takes up space that could be used for something else. Husqvarna needs to rethink this.

Following the instructions provided, assembly went well. The instructions say that you can use lawn/leaf bags inside of the 3 bins, but after using the bagger for the first time, I found that the cover doesn't latch properly using contractor bags, so I removed the bags and just used the bins. There should be a more positive method of latching the cover...maybe a bungee cord. Maybe they could recommend which bags will work.

The first pass around the yard, I looked to see that the little red "wheel", that indicates when the bag is full, was spinning as it should. A couple more trips around and it had stopped, indicating that the bins were full. They were...sort of, so I emptied them and noticed that the bin on the left was overfull while the one on the right was only half full...uneven distribution.

Apparently, the mower has enough power to throw the grass/leaves to the farthest point efficiently, but when the left bin is full, it continues to pack the grass as far as it can throw it. Maybe needs a little redesigning. Maybe it was designed to do this and then when the bins are to the overflow point, they fall over into the next (middle) bin by gravity. I didn't try this yet but will.

After restarting the mower, I made another couple of passes in which the little red "wheel" didn't spin at all. Another design problem? I could spin the wheel with my finger but it wasn't working as it should. I decided to ignore the wheel and try to estimate how many passes it took to fill the bins. I finally got it down to a science and finished the lawn.

The instructions say that the standard blades should be used with the bagger, not to use the mulching blades. I had changed these before I started so I know that wasn't the problem. I did notice that the grass clippings were as long as they were when being cut and the leaves were in one piece, not shredded like I would like. Husqvarna needs to design a blade that chops up leaves so they don't take up so much space in the bags. (I had made an experimental blade for my walk-behind mower and it worked very well, so I know it can be done.)

Overall, the bagger does collect what you're mowing but the uneven distribution in the bins needs improvement. I found the "full" indicator wheel useless. Assembly, cleaning, and disassembly were easily accomplished. As this was the bagger that was recommended, it seemed I had little choice...I would have preferred a deeper, double bagger.
