I agree with you. I don't use mine anymore due to that and it filling two quick. I use my cyclone rake instead which holds a lot more.
Having to 'bolt on' the grass catcher with the huge bolts, etc. is a pain. The other reason I don't like it is it's a 'push' design rather than the cyclone rake (and DR) pull design. If the hose or boot clogs on my cyclone rake I can shut down the tractor and pull the stuff out quickly (after disconnecting the hose) - Easy. Due to the blower being in the boot I can't do that with the JD one. You can try and reach around the blower impellers but that's a pain in the A##. If you try to undo the belt you'll burn yourself on the pulley.
Was way to frustrating to me. I'd sell it in a heartbeat if anyone wants it.
