Hey guys new to this site and just got my first Hustler this morning. Mower cuts great very happy. I'm having issue with the bagger tube clogging I know it happens but any tips on how it can be managed? Have some buyer remorse on the bagger system.

Thanks in advance.

I have no experience with a hustler bagger but I do with others and in general with a cut n thrown system you can't be going any lower than about two and a half inches cut height or you won't have enough airflow to push everything up. Cutting no more than one-third to one-half of your grass height in a pass is also a good idea.
All this assuming you have the high lift blades on your bagger.

did you change the blades? i thought the bagger requires higher lift blades for more blowing power.

Hey guys,

I have the hi lift blades on. Ran it yesterday my problem was deck to low not allowing enough air flow. Plus my mowing speed was a little high. This is my first zero turn and they only one I've ever drove, learning as I go Now I just wish that the bags were bigger lol.

Thanks
