I purchased a riding mower with a bagger used and the chute keeps getting clogged what should I do?

Question

has anyone tried gator blades with a bagger? will this keep my chute from getting clogged?

Answer 1

acording to the gasoline thory its flamable

Answer 2

The worst thing for clogging is damp grass, make sure it's dry before you mow. Another is to slow the speed of the mower down a gear or two. Mow the grass more often so you're not cutting so much at once or raise the blade and make the first pass higher, then lower it for the second pass. Baggers just aren't meant for cutting really long grass.

Answer 3

The high lift on the Gator Mulcher draws the grass up, giving it a clean, even cut Other mulching blades push grass down, often resulting in an uneven, ragged cut. The high lift also makes using the Gator Mulcher in bagging operations an excellent choice. You get the look of a bagged lawn while reducing clippings by up to 5O%.Got it from the net, smaller clipping less clogs ,makes sense to me. Im sure you know wet or damp grass makes it a problem with any blade.

Answer 4

Most of the baggers are meant for short, dry lawns. Other than that they can be a pain. The posts about the high lift blades are correct. They will make a big difference if you have mulching blade on it now.

Answer 5

The thicker the grass and if its wet, the more itll clog. I basically use my bagger to suck up leaves - i leave the clippings on the yard for a better looking yard.
I would mow the yard first, then hook the bagger up n get the 'lumps' left.

Answer 6

You need a "high lift" blade. Most mowers come standard with a mulching blade, not designed to "lift" the material.
