That's a great looking setup you have there! I keep seeing those, and I may have to think about getting one of my own. Let us know how you like the bagger setup....... I am very curious about that.

Chuck, I have only used it once so far, but all indications point to two thumbs up. I had a regular Garden tractor(JD 325) with the Plower Flow on a 48" deck before this, and it seems to do as good or better than it. Depending on what your cutting, you do get some "drop out", but I had that on my other mower too. I think this setup has way more suction than the Garden Tractor. When I first went over my lawn with it, I could hear all kinds of stuff getting suck up that the smaller tractor did get. I think one reason is that it has a lot higher RPM on the deck than the 325 did.

I was nervous about it, because I read about some people complaining on here about it. I think their expecting too much from it, and think its going to get every last piece of grass. But if your cutting some heavy wet stuff, this is not going to be the case. Especially if your on unlevel ground...

Over all I very happen the way the machine mows, and bags. I had no problems with the 62D making divots, and it left a very smooth and clean cut. After looking at the lawn I think it did a better job than the 325.

If your lucky maybe next time I will post some pics of the mow job...

Until then here's another shot...

ORCM, Thanks for the update, and thanks for the additional picture. It appears that the front antiscalp wheels on your 62D don't pivot like the ones that seem to be causing the problems. I wonder if JD has decided to change that?
The collector on my Simplicity works in a similar way, and I have been very pleased with it. There is some "blowout" in the front when collecting leaves, but it sure saves a lot of work!

Chuck,

Yes they do pivot, but they come with grease fittings on them now. One of the fixes JD has been retrofitting/trying. If you look at my other post on here I posted some closes ups of the wheels, with the fittings. My wheels are set to hit just before the deck does, and I saw them come in contact with the ground multiple times without any ill effects.

I can see why they made the wheels spin, it makes it really easy to move around when its off the tractor. It probably would have been better if they would just installed a lock on the wheel, so you could lock it straight..

I saw your other post after I replied, and felt a little foolish. There sure has been enough written about that deck with the initial problems. I'm glad that JD is addressing the problem, and it seems to be working just fine. Thanks for addressing my questions.
