Cub Cadet Z-Force Zero Turn Triple Bagger

I gave this product a year before I wrote a true perspective on a review. When this bagging system came in a box that was damaged I found the rubber gasket to be damaged as it appeared someone had this product and returned it as I should of done. Assembly was not difficult but time consuming. My first experience the grass would clog in the cute repeatedly leaving a trail of uncut grass on the lawn and nothing in the bags only the chute. I sprayed cooking spray as Jose has mentioned to no avail. I bought high lift mulching blade installed this blades with high hopes only to be disappointed and frustrated. I've cut my grass and let the cut grass dry on the lawn for a couple of days and re mow to pick up dry grass only to waste my time, fuel and added frustration.

I've often wondered if the chute tube is to big in diameter. To the cub cadet engineers I say go back to the drawing board and re design your product for customer satisfaction and eliminate honest customer reviews such as this one. I'll be looking for another product since this product should have been made right the first time.

This thing clogs up constantly. You have to stop every couple of minutes and unclog the chute. I've tried all the recommendations and nothing works. If you crawl along at a snails pace it doesn't clog as much but why waste the time and gas. I'll go back to sweeping after I mow.

This took a long time to put together and the three piece shoot is a bit of a pain. But it works pretty well. I'm very glad to have it.

Sorry to write this but this bagging system isn't worth even the time looking at. First the cost is far more than what you receive, the bagger took 3 hours for my friend and I to install, not that I'm concerned with that but once installed you wonder how this bagger is worth well over $500. I've tried using several times since installing and not once has it performed. Every time used it clogs - at the discharge. I've tried several different methods, spraying with a non-stick spray, double mowing - which is time and money, waiting till mid day when the grass is totally dry, nothing works. It was a total waste of well over $500. Mowers Direct did what they were suppose to but it isn't a well designed, functional bagger system.

The baffle did not fit my mower exactly and I had to grind down one end to prevent the blades from hitting it. And yes, it was the correct baffle for my mower (it comes with three baffles for different models).

A lot of the basic assembly for this kit could have been done at the factory without changing the packaging, and it takes longer than you think to get this assembled and installed. It does the job once it is installed.

I have a cub cadet 60" sz commercial series mower and a 5 acre yard.

To start things off, the bagger won't even install on the mower. There are 3 different areas to install the bag to the mounting plate 48" and 54" are lined up with the exhaust grates and the 60" is off to the side and you have to find a wah to go through your exhaust panel to get the bolt through. So i ended up using the 54" mounting set-up and had to jerry rig the piping to work. The bagger worked great, but i drove maybe 100 yards and the bag was completely full. There is no capacity in the bags at all. If you have a mower this size you should have a fairly large yard. With a 1 acre yard, you would need to empy this bag at least 10 times once fall hits to mow your yard.

I am now in process of rigging this piping into a trailer i pull behind my mower so I'm not stopping every 3 minutes to empty the bag.

If you have a 1/2 acre yard and a 48" or 54" deck size, this bagger will work great. If you have a 60" deck size or something that resembles a yard, you will be jerry-rigging your own set-up whether you buy this or not.
