For years I've had problems with the rear bagger chute getting plugged especially in the Spring when the grass is really growing.
I've gotten in the habit of holding my left hand back by the bagger to see if I can feel the air movement, which is good when I start.
However after a few loops, I'll notice less and less air flow and know that's my clue to stop and unplug the lower section of the grass chute.
It helps if I go real slow in heavy grass, but it still isn't a solution as it still clogs.
Has anyone else dealt with this problem and found a good cure or some way to minimize the clogs?
I'm wondering if I need special high lift blades which move more air to keep it from clogging?
Tempted to get a pull behind grass catcher with its own motor. One of my neighbors has something like that but I don't know if he has any clogging problems or not.
Plus the tow behind bagger really would only work good in the larger areas.
