This bagger has been worthless since we first bought it... Continuously plugs up regardless how dry the grass is. The accordion type top seems to be the problem... Sad, because I had a Craftsman lawnmower for 25 years and didn't have a third the problems I've had with this thing. Have Craftsman away to a friend and he's still using it... Whoever developed this for you never mowed with it! Junk! Will try find aftermarket that will work, or never get Cub Cadet again!
