Canadian Pricing?

Love and hate it for what reason - filling up too quickly or getting clogged or...? I had the 2 bag non-blower version on the 178 and it was easy to plug with grass. I opted for the 3 bag simply for capacity. I could fill the 2 bag in one circuit around part of my lawn with the old machine.

One of the guys from the dealership mentioned that some owners leave the left-side mulching blade on and change the middle and right side to the regular lift blade. They find there's not enough air movement to clean the left side of the cut path with the bagger and 3 regular blades. I'll experiment with that, but not having enough vacuum effect with the 54" (or larger) deck does sound logical. Any feedback on that?

You love how your yard looks when you use it.

You hate dumping those bags.

I went 3 bag on my z track - it is really impressive.

I don't use mulching blades.

Mine has the blower on it.

Also - it can get plugged up. Wet grass will get ugly in a hurry.

If things are really bad, I will remove the bottom cover off the impeller. Looses some grass, but not bad.

Thanks Darin - I've had my arm down the chute clearing out the mess on the 178's bagger many times over the years. Seems there is no perfect way to collect cut grass!
