[@Backyardprojectguy]

You will like it., and you can use the grass collected as mulch.in the gardens

[@torey-lucyloftin2220]

Thanks for the simple, yet effective tutorial. These are the kind of videos that I love the most, short, sweet and simple, and very helpful.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Thanks for the comment..I glad to hear that it helps people..

[@Egalitarian-bt7kz]

You explained it well and you were easy to understand and you made it look simple with straight-to-the-point, no nonsense rhetoric! A HUGE thank you…

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Thank you for the comment..I appreciate that..

[@traveller5551]

This is what i needed. I just bought a used double bagger and didn't know if everything was included but your video verified that. Thanks a million my friend.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

So glad to hear it could help..Thanks for sharing the good news

[@BloggingTrucker]

I'm really glad that you made this video because now I know exactly what I have to do to get my bagger on my beautiful lawn mower thank you so much

[@bikeon143]

I liked the fact that your wife was enjoying the swing set while you played, er, worked.

[@WizardMower]

Thankyou president W Bush, Now I can put a bagger on my lawn tractor

Thank you 🙏🏼 I could not figure this out from a random pile of parts.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Great so glad to hear that it helped you..Thanks again

[@seancurran1938]

KEN, this was EXACTLY the video I needed to see. Dozens of others were just ...noise. You hit the bull's eye so, thanks, good job.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Glad to hear that it helped you...That's what it is all about

[@Rallisport]

Thanks for the video! This was a great help since the directions for installing my bagger weren't written in "confuse-o".

[@nickpence2809]

ha ha..well put...I would like to know who actually writes these directions??

[@Bigwalt-yc1wj]

Bro, You are the best. Not that I am Sexist, I empower Women, I have raised my niece helping me wrench on cars and I encouraged her towards a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Career. As she got grew she helped me on Motor Swaps. However, I love how you have your Woman come in at the end, cutting the grass, proving how it was a proper and safe install. God Bless!

[@Backyardprojectguy]

ha ha..I have to fight my wife to see who cuts the grass..She loves doing it..Although she dose make me empty the bagger and clean up the lawn mower when she is done..It all works..She said that cutting the grass comm's her down and she loves seeing the fresh cut grass..

[@Bigwalt-yc1wj]

@@Backyardprojectguy i got my bagger all unboxed. About 2 do the install. I 55 years old. FINALLY, with yor help, it still work, but i gonna take it ez. On my property, the leaves dont just fall once, they fall like 6 times. Its not even a joke, by the time i rake frim on side 2 the other leaves already fell again. Like a snake with tail in it mouth rolling down a hill. Anyway, thanks again 4 u great video. 😇😎

[@Backyardprojectguy]

@@Bigwalt-yc1wj now you take it easy...The leaves are not going anywhere and they will be there when you are ready to roll..And will have to empty that bagger a lot more with all those leaves..But they do make a great Mulch for the garden.

[@honkymonkey9568]

This helped me out, thanks. Don't have the attachment straps, but I think a bungee cord would work.

[@michelerosic7119]

This is such a great video. You make it so easy! Thanks!

[@Robert-kk1cn]

Because its BULLSHIT !

[@bruceburgess7978]

I did it. It so easy. Now I can bag my leaves. Thanks ken

[@mgnasty]

thanks so much, I have a second hand mower with a bagging assy which had some missing parts, but now thanks to you I'm ready to BAG

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Thank you for sharing that..so cool to hear..I always hope that these video will help people..and you have proven that so!1

[@randykeith1203]

Thank you for helping my mother and I with this she has a hard time doing things, it all fit perfectly but it does pick it up but it's not even 30 ft and it's full, preceded to empty then redo and it's clogged when our yard is completely dry not wet at all.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Yep..you can fill the bag quickly when the grass is growing fast and the leves are on the ground..

[@randykeith1203]

@@Backyardprojectguy the ones I'm picking up are leaves which I understand are bulky but sorta mulching and being shot through

[@Backyardprojectguy]

@@randykeith1203 Yep..Mulch them up and use them in the garden, if you can

[@triggerphingershooting]

Thanks for the video! My mower came with my house and I couldn't figure out how to attach the bagger

[@Backyardprojectguy]

cool ..glad it could help

[@dennisbentley696]

Bag it and make mulch..Love the idea

[@villyrivera6856]

Good job on putting your wife to work. Good video!

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Ha ha. I’m lucky my wife likes to cut the grass. I think she just likes riding on the mower!!!😀

[@houzhead6588]

Thank you. I bought a used one and had no manual. This was a big help!

[@Backyardprojectguy]

GREAT!!..so glad to hear that..I'm so glad when it can help people..That is what it is all about..Pass it forward!! Have fun picking up all those leaves!!

[@houzhead6588]

@@Backyardprojectguy 🤣🤣I know right.. on with the leaves!

[@jgamsky]

Would you happen to know the make and model of that bagger? We have brought2 of them home getting stuck with a $150 shipping charge and neither one of them was the right one we need one with that has that kind of a back bracket to atatch it. If you know could you please email it to me I would be so grateful…. Thank you…..Joan Gamsky …[e-mail]

OMG!!!...this was what I was looking for, this will work for my Tractor....perfect..thanks

You make it look so easy, I'm gonna give it a shot

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Good luck with your project..I hope it went well

[@johncat55]

Really appreciate this video! I’m trying to find that exact bagger for my dads mower. So far, it’s been impossible to find.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

UGH...It is becoming a problem..Do you have any small engine repair guys locally?? You could try them..

[@johncat55]

@@Backyardprojectguy thanks! I’ll give them a try

[@johncat55]

My Tractor is an Electrolux Weedeater but as far as I can tell it's it was an OEM model similar to what Craftsman, MTD and others sold at the time. Would you mind sharing what brand and model mower you had in this video? I think I will have better luck finding a bagger for a better name brand. Thank you in advance!

[@philc1884]

Thanks much, I needed to see the rear latch (at 2:20) that came off the bagger to replace it!

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Great..So glad it could help....Thanks for the comment

[@scottjameson7247]

This worked great..I bought a new 2018 craftsman and I was able to use my old bagger.

[@jerryhanson3903]

Do those work with tall wet grass? I bought a new push mower one of those $270.00 Craftsman ones and it's completely useless, it will not bag grass at all. I know most of the problem is the grass is thick and wet but I need something that will fill a bag no matter how the grass is. Do those riding lawn mowers work better than the push mowers as far as picking up tall wet grass?

[@SARDOG]

Nope :/

[@Mikaflyd]

Thank you for looking, I found mine, just like yours. Right down to the hookup to mower. At Home Depot. Got it hooked up, works awesome. Thanks for the video !!!

[@Backyardprojectguy]

[@alandavis9596]

Good move to save money and mulch the grass and leaves too

Ha ha..With the new bagger you have to tell your girl how cool it is to be seen on it..Good Luck!!!

[@markschirripa3607]

Great video. Great "can-do" attitude. The strap on my chute is gone. I ordered a new one but they don't include the bolt. It's a metric 10-24 bolt. I got the one-inch bolt. I'm just going to hook the other end into the hole in the chute for now.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

That will work...Nice job!!!

A little "Tip" your bins are in two pieces for shipping, put your foot inside and pull up on the handles and they will lock into place making them a solid bin.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Cool!!..Will do..Thanks for the tip...

[@kennethjordan6065]

A bagger is always a great tool to have..If you think you dont need it just take it off. But not to have is a pain..

Looks perfect for what I’m wanting

Great..so glad it could help...God luck with your projects..

[@ericksonwilliams1014]

You must collect the grass in early spring ..When it grows fast

[@whothecapfits]

Ken, you don't need to bag the grass most of the time. I only bag a few times a year, when there are leaves to pick up. The rest of the time, I have a mulch plug installed so the clippings are pushed back down onto the lawn. Those clippings act as fertilizer for the grass. Don't throw away good fertilizer.

[@leskavage]

He mentioned the mulch plug in the video. You probably missed it because you were too concerned with telling Ken what he already knows.

Thanks , very simple and to the point...

I attached mine a year ago and it works really good up until I hit a few bumps and then it keeps popping off and blowing all over me. How can I keep it from popping off when I'm hitting bumps

[@Backyardprojectguy]

What keeps popping off??..Can you wrap a Bungee cord around it some how??

[@fredforman3386]

good idea

[@michaelbaker3007]

Easy enough to add

[@robertlane7443]

Is it okay to take the bagger off every now and then??

[@YazooPic]

Our issue was not shown here. We changed the blades and in the process, the top that covers the two bagger's was removed. Our manual was not clear as to how to attach the cover to the baggers. How do you put the springs on in order to keep the top from falling as you empty the leaves?

[@Backyardprojectguy]

I never had the cover detached form the frame..So I'm not sure what to tell you..I will check it out later..So sorry

[@rogersomers6979]

Good to know this

[@LarryGriffen]

need a bagger in the fall for the leaves

[@erindavis6020]

You have saved my life! However does the main tube just line up to the opening or does it have to go inside the opening?

[@Backyardprojectguy]

It should go inside...assuming your tube is long enough..Hope this helps

very good video..good stuff to know

[@nicklee806]

nice video..this will help me

[@SARDOG]

Used my new to me mower w bagger for the first time today and the bagger only fills up one container... Do I have to swap containers mid mow??

[@Backyardprojectguy]

No..Should not have to change bags.. once the one bag fills the grass clippings should fall into the second bag..

[@onlide]

thanks for this..it helped big time..
