TerraKing Original Lawn Tractor Leaf Bag 54 cu ft Leaf Collection System, Compatible with Most Two-Bag Material Collection System; Blue

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.

Great for seniors and help reduce needing over. On regret are the zipper on the rear of the dump bag

Worked great for my yard filled with a variety of hardwood tree leaves, using a 2001 Scott's (John Deere) S2348 lawn tractor with the powerflow bagging system. I was skeptical given the bulky appearance of the bag, yet this relatively simple product translated into a huge time saver. To save wear on the bag (and perhaps lighten the load on my tractor), I decided to try placing the bag in my tow-behind trailer. It worked pretty well except that a significant portion of the leaves consistently weighted down the part of the bag between the tractor and the trailer, causing me to have to stop and try to adjust it to the back with only about half a bag. Thus, I tried it without the tractor and had even better results with the bag just dragging along behind me. I collected about 7 or 8 full bags of leaves in about 90 minutes and had no trouble dragging the bag to my woods for emptying. I did not notice any visible wear on the bag at the end of the day. The only issue I had was blowback of leaves & dust as the bag filled up. I experimented with different configurations for the two cinching closures on the bag and was able to minimize the issue after testing a few out. I still end up covered in dust & dirt, but that was to be expected and it made that shower feel all the better. I highly recommend this product.

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.

The bag itself looks strong and will do the work for leaves, if they are dry. If the leaves are damp of if you catch grass when you are picking up leaves, the bag will get too heavy and pull of. The only way I can see this work is if you hitch a cart to the mower and put the bag on top of that. I have not tried that and am planning to do so. It does make the total bagging system expensive, now that you have to put a cart under it. One issue I had after just one single use. There are two plastic clips that hold the string in place. One of the clip pushed in all the way and cannot be used anymore. Those clips are very cheap quality plastic. Hence the a 3 for the review.

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.

One of my favorite things I've ever bought. Although I have only used for 1 season so far, the quality of the bag material and cord is excellent. I don't foresee any wear issues as long as I don't do something dumb like drive over a sharp tree stump. Even that would probably be fine. I was getting occasional clogging at first, but once I attached it directly to the first chute segment, the clogging completely stopped. I am able to power thru very thick leaf piles without clogging. The downside is that the bag drags to the right side of the mower, making it hard to maneuver tight spaces. This is solved by quickly blowing leaves away from trees prior to getting on the mower. I also added a quick release steel hose clamp to hold the bag onto my chute. While not entirely necessary, it makes tightly securing the bag to the chute much faster. Some reviewers mention that the bag is too heavy to empty when full. I do not have this problem. I drive it as close to the woods as possible, and drag it in, dump it out. You are back on the mower in less than 5 minutes. I think my 1 acre yard ended up filling up the bag 6 times. Another trick other reviewers have mentioned is to only drive over leaves with the left half of your mower deck. This also works for me. It prevents leaves from shooting off to the right. This works so well for me, I have resorted to blowing leaves from my driveway and flower beds ONTO the lawn so i can suck it up with the mower.

Great idea... And it does work. In my mower situation I had to leave on the shroud and put the bag around it...doing a bit of creative tightening and tying to avoid the mulched leave spewing back through a crevice which is difficult to avoid unless you do it just right. No way could I attach it to just the chute as pictured. Additionally in my situation I have to really mulch down the leaves in order to dump in a location in my property to avoid them blowing back onto my lawn or backyard. This does mean that when this thing gets full, it can be very awkward to empty...so be prepared for that. But...even with that..it is far faster than the alternative. I do take issue with the fairly flimsy hardware that is provided to use to tighten the cords...easily jammed and broken. Send me some replacement hardware...like five sets and I will boost up to 5 stars. I will say that the material is very durable. As can happen...I had a brain fart and managed to back over the thing. What was I thinking you may ask...I certainly did. So yeah, I managed to gouge a few holes in the bag before the mower blade gagged on the thing. And after initially looking at the damage and tossing it out...I retrieved it and took needle and fishing line and after 45 minutes had repaired the damage and was back in business. And no...that is not how the hardware broke.

The concept works well, the problem is that this product is soooo flimsy, like a pillow case!! Ripped within the first hour, and not the bottom side that drags behind the tractor. Since purchasing this product I have found other products that seem to be more rugged for a lot less money. Do yourself a favour and don't waste your money here!

ça fonctionne bien mais ça m'a pris 3 essaies afin de comprendre et d'être capable d'attacher le sac solidement au tracteurs pour récupérer les feuilles.
