Help from Tseries owners w/ bagging

[wildviking]

Ok Well I need to buy a new mower and out here in the pacific northwest our springs are damp I need a new rider the old honda is about done for. Its a single blade 30inch cut and boy does it bag damp grass way better than my neighbors JD . So I thought I was going to buy a mower with a blower for bagging but after reading the kubota website was wondering how the T series are for bagging , The website brags about the infinity deck and how it does not need a blower . So must be some of you that have one and have tried it in damp grass .. Because if I wait till the grass is dry here this year I will just have to put a brush hog on the kubota tractor to mow .

The Infinity deck is rubbish . It's more a mulching deck than a
throwing deck . In damp grass , mine just clumped grass all over
the lawn . Just look at that hopeless deck opening . Forget it !
22 hours and I sent mine back . The Dealer won't even keep them now.
He's stocking Huskies for riding mower stock ....... now that's a
condemnation of T's !

A real good setup is the BX series with bagger, the turbine is driven by the PTO, but is not cheap. Another popular one was the G2160-48RS, that was a 48 inch rear shoot bagger. I think they have a bagger for the GR2110 but that model still has problems I think. Have not seen the T series bagger but Kubota has made small blower units driven off the deck pulley.
You need the bigger units to run the blower as it does take a few HP to run it. My BX still does clog up at times. You may also look at the Trac Vac or Cyclone Rake as they have some independently powered units with larger blowers and bigger hoppers.

After going and reading the specs on the T series it does not look like a blower is available, you will have to go up to the GR series and if you are there it is not much of a jump for the BX and looks like the GR2110 is replaced by the GR2120 now.
