LTLB95000 - Original Lawn Tractor Leaf Bag

HUGE! Really works. Needs to be installed correctly on or under grass catcher hood to keep leaves from blowing out bag opening.I have a Husqvarna RZ46215 46" ZTR mower with the optional grass catcher - nearly identical to the catchers on a number of other mowers and the same as the one in the instructional videos at: http://lawntractorleafbag.com/tractors-with-grass-catchers/. The mowing deck seems to use high lift blades as it produces a lot of air flow into the chute and to the bag system without the aid of a dedicated blower. All this air needs to filter out the bag pores but will happily exit via the bag opening if it isnt well sealed to the grass catcher system. This may be less of an issue if your mower deck does not produce a lot of air flow to the grass catcher, however that may lead to frequent clogging issues.My mower has the typical ZTR "engine at the rear" so it is doubly important that the leaf catching system does not blow grass/leaves/dirt out the opening at the front of the bag, because the dust will clog the engine intake air filter and the leaves will accumulate on the cooling fan intake screen and that can cause the engine to overheat.I initially tried the "over the hood" attachment method from the first video but could not get the bag to seal up well enough so the engine and I were quickly covered in leaves.Next I tried the "under the hood" attachment as detailed in the second video. It was a huge improvement. It is important to observe and carefully follow each step in the instructional video for this to work well. At first I did everything except I cinched up the bag before closing the hood, leaving the bag opening at the rear of the hood under the rear of closed hood and over the middle dual grass catcher bag bar. Attaching it this way resulted in leaves blowing onto the top of the bag, which would then accumulate and fall off in clumps when turning, or blowing back onto the engine if running downwind in a breeze. Once I changed to putting the hood down before cinching the bag and then tightening it up with the bag going over the hood locking mechanism (as shown in video), very little in the way of leaves and debris escapes the bag.

holds alot! it can get too heavy to pull manually.

This is the bag to buy!I bought one of these and it's the best money I ever spent on leaf removal....it cut hours off my leaf pick up. It is made from great quality cloth ...very heavy duty. I had to fiddle around with it to find the ideal way to attach it to my grass catcher housing, but eventually I cinched it over the top lip and it worked perfectly..no matter how much I would put in the bag it never fell off. You can easily fill the bag up so much it makes it difficult to empty! Also when I used my bags that came with the catcher the tube would always clog up..not with this bag. I could power through the deepest leaves and it never clogged once! My yard is a torture test for stuff like this..I have tons of oak and maple leaves, dirt patches from all the tree shading and two driveways to cross. After using it for two weekends, it had some dirt patches on it and showed some slight wear from dragging, I think it will hold up OK..but only time will tell. I actually tried rigging up a tarp under the bag being dragged by the mower to act as a wear shield..it worked OK..but it needs some refinement! The first bag I got I was stupid and backed over it while putting my tractor away ripping it to shreds. I called the number on his paperwork and he promptly answered. I told him what happened and he said he would ship me out another bag for a flat rate and no shipping to replace the one I trashed! I also told him I needed it by Saturday and it was Tuesday evening. He got it in the works and it was waiting for me when I got home from work on Friday night! Now that's some customer service! Overall I couldn't be happier with this bag..we shall see how it holds up..but even if I wear them out after a couple seasons..it's still worth the money!

This product is basically a bag that goes around the grass catcher. I read in previous reviews that you need a couple of clamps to secure the bag which came in useful since the string clamp broke before i even put it on the mower. Second and probably more important is to build a frame with a tarp to go under the bag. This will help with tears. I did not do this step and my bag had a couple of rips after the first use. Next time i will buy a cheaper bag and build the frame with the tarp. Someone had pics in a previous review.

It fits my Cub Cadet dual bagger and works.You have to declog the chute occasionally. But the bag deflates when it is instructed so it’s easy to tell.However after my first use the seam tore. Will try to sew it back but am not certain it will last beyond one days use.

Very well made and I have used it for two seasons. Works around my whole yard of 25,000 sq. ft. (1 acre surrounded by forest on two sides and about 10 trees in the lawn). I have used this out in the street (asphalt) to clean up leaves from my trees without any tears to the bag (yet). The bag is made from a closely knit cloth material that is 'light to medium weight' relative to it's size. I have a 2 bag grass catcher on my Craftsman 42" lawn tractor and this bag will easily hold about 12 bags from my grass catcher (depends on leaves, moisture). I can usually go through my entire yard with about 4 dumps at the height of 'leaf drop' (early October) which takes about 1 hour. When I used to use the 2 bags on the grass catcher, this was a 3+ hours ordeal. It is REALLY heavy when full so I suggest you make sure you are near your dumping area to unload the leaves. I try to set my mower on the highest setting (6) so it will suck up leaves and minimize the grass cuttings. THIS BAG IS DESIGNED FOR BAGGING LEAVES NOT GRASS. Try to keep the lawn cut as short as you can before using this bagger OR set the mower height high so it won't cut the grass. NOTE: My only suggestion would be to make the drawstring attachment and plastic lock a little bit more robust as it can sometimes be difficult to open the leaf bag without the cord/plastic lock becoming undone.
