Does anyone have a problem with this not bagging grass? When I use it about half the grass goes in the bag; rest clumps on lawn

Why bag grass? Do you know, that by mulching your lawn instead, grass clippings, are returned to the lawn. By bagging your lawn clippings, you are simply throwing your lawn away, 1 bag at a time. Mulching, saves.

When I use a bag it works pretty well. The grass needs to be fairly dry because the mower is not as powerful as a gas powered mower. At any rate I cut high and rarely use the bag. Sometimes I have to rake a bit but I have chickens and they love fresh cut grass. The rest of the grass clippings feed the lawn.

When you first dump the bag in some does come out the shoot. I think the weight of the feed keeps it from continuing. Once the deer come in they start pulling more out. They will even start banging into it to knock more free. We had it in the middle of the field and they would almost fight over it. Great feeder.

I've used the bagger on my 46" mower to do my fall cleanup of leaves every year since I purchased it and it does a great job, not to mention I have quite a few trees so theres alot of leaves. the trick is to make sure you do your clean up when the leaves and grass are dry, I've never owned a residential mower no matter what the price that does a good job on wet grass or soggy leaves, they all get clogged up, besides you should never cut your grass when its wet, it doesn't mulch well or bag well and the grass gets matted down. but most importantly "it can be dangerous" especially if you have hills or your using a push type or self propelled mower. at least thats my opinion!....hope this helps....

I like the mulch but I keep my grass low. Also the way I use the mower does make a difference. Some people say that mulching leaves clumps. To avoid this I cut in thinner strips at a time. I never use more then 1/2 the mower. I don't think the brand of mower makes much difference. For me I don't like working with the bag (bending over, emptying the bag est,) I prefer walking around the yard just a little more. When I return from vacation after 3 weeks I do have to rake up. Unless I return from vacation, I always mulch.

The sweeper is inconsistent. All depends on height of grass and what one is attempting to sweep into the basket. Not everything gets swept up. I'm a little more satisfied now than I was initially.

I've let my lawn get to about 6 inches and it struggles a bit. I mulch not bag but you really can't let it get long. The mower isn't as powerful as a gas one. It's best for a small to mid size lawn that is mowed very regularly.

With one season under it, so far mine seems to be..... Mulches like a dream, even with a little slow of a blade speed and thick grass almost all the clippings vanish-slip below the tops of the grass to the ground where they become fertilizer quicker. You can cut the lawn and only get a couple clippings on your shoes-normally they'd be covered. The bag loads evenly, so you are getting full use from that.... note however the bag draws more battery so you won't be able to clear as much territory. ... the unit is light enough you can pick it up easily with one hand from the handle on top of housing (well balanced placement) but still heavy enough to stay on the ground when in use. Pushes easy. ... I'd better stop now...

Not really, what I did was mount it under my normal blade and used one of the washers that fit the hole then tightened it up with the large washer over it. I didn't seem to move and I think it helped bag more of the dead grass.

We haven't had any problems with it clogging up. But I can't say that it wouldn't. I would guess that if you were trying to cut tall, wet grass, that might be a possibility. We have zoysia grass and haven't had any clogging issues at all. We don't cut the grass really short and it's dry when we cut it.

The only time I have had this happen was this morning, after almost 2 years of use. I hadn't done my regular maintenance so the grass was both high and lush and it had rained. It was difficult this morning, but I can't say the blades were clogged, just overwhelmed. When I was keeping it mowed it was a pleasure every time.

It does seem that the motor is not a strong as it should be. It only cuts grass up to a short level. If you miss cutting for a period of time it will shut off. And this was in the first few months last year.

I didn't have any problems with this clumping. It does a great job I've been using this brand for years and no complaints here. I hope this helps you out.

The grass goes down near your feet. but not that much. I do love it. ALL grass cutters throw out grass.I do not ue the cover because I store it in the basement because I live in a Condo. MY BEST TO YOU, AL.

Using the sweeper is easy and I have experienced no problems thus far. When dumping, I drive my tractor forward, if there is a lot in the catcher basket. I try to empty my basket when I notice its a little over 1/2 full. Wet or damp grass is always a problem and sometimes sticks inside the basket. But I try to use the sweeper when the grass is dry as that is when it works best

Mostly. I have two units in our yard. Same brand. One has taken wind and weather with NO problem, the other seems to get a little finicky when wet. Maybe one is more exposed to a certain direction of wind or rain, who knows. But once it's dried out again it works just fine.

sorry you are burning your grass we are having the same problem. I feel the manufacture has a defect here. my husband has tried everything to stop this and the only thing that worked for him was he has to mow the grass twice as much to avoide the burn marks. sorry I could not be more help with the problems.

WOW sound like my problem, if I am in my own yard, I use a small garden shovel to get under it and lift it off the grass, it works. (I know, what to do with the shovel...lol) But if I am out walking, I just use a paper towel (uugg). I am going to try the newspaper like the other reviewer suggested.
