Hi all, new member.
Purchased Raptor SD with bagger from local dealer (Pro Power Baton Rouge) a few weeks ago. I have one acre lot with around half acre to mow. Have enjoyed my Toro Timecutter 42 since 2010, purchased at big box store. I bagged with the Toro with good success past 4/5 years. I've given the Toro to my son who just purchased new house with similar lawn. I like to maintain my equipment, so I was looking for something a little more substantial. Decided on the SD with bagger. I am extremely pleased with the cut and bagger. The deck vacuumed better than my Toro. I was concerned after reading a few threads on the forum regarding bagging with a Hustler. Mine works extremely well. Highly recommend it! I just feel my Raptor SD is worth maintaining and will serve me as long as I take proper care of it. Best to all. Great info here has helped me plan my maintenance schedules.
