Imagine that! A simply perfectly simple video on simple, but necessary, procedures. And in the tradition of KZbin videos…wrap it up with the gal bringing it home. Great team work!

[@Backyardprojectguy]

[@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

[@Backyardprojectguy]

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

[@honkymonkey9568]

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

[@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]

[@Backyardprojectguy]

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

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Great..So good to hear....Glad you can make it work..

[@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]

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

[@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??

[@BloggingTrucker]

Awesome thanks for the great video I'm in the process of buying my new bagger now for my new Craftsman riding mower now.

[@Backyardprojectguy]

I got lucky..I was able to use my Old Bagger on my new tractor...It worked out great and saved me a little money..

[@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 :/

[@squeekhobby4571]

Awesome. Planning to buy one and this helped me

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.

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

[@randykeith1203]

[@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.

Wow that was easy. Ken, I have a John Deer 100 series, does it have to be a JD bagger to fit on mine, or will any one fit?

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

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

@@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!

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...

This is a good idea. you can save some money by using the old bagger.

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.

Easy install,,nice

[@lorrainegarbic7656]

This looks amazing. I am a widow and the lawn work is so hard to keep up with. I have a question....will this work on wet grass and leafs. Seems like my yard is always wet!! Thanks

[@Backyardprojectguy]

Good question...If the leaves are really wet and matted down.....It will not work very well..You can try moving over the leaves very slowly and this will get most of them..But if they are wet and matted down you might have to go over them several times.. Hope this helps..

[@loumajoy2105]

very good..nice to know..

[@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

[@andymorrison514]

good idea to save money and reuse the bagger,,

[@bruceburgess7978]

Looks easy enough

[@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.

[@alandavis9596]

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

[@ericwickstrom8167]

it fits well..
