I purchased a Craftsman Pro 46" riding mower with Kohler engine about a year ago as I purchased a house on 1 acre and have eventually installed 29,000 square feet of lawn, Perennial Ryegrass. I live about 50 miles north of Seattle WA. We have an in-ground irrigation system and I have it set to run Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday and I typically mow on Saturday. In the beginning the mower bagged pretty well even mowing at full speed but after a couple of months I noticed the chute would clog up. I have the two-bag Craftsman bag system. Even last Summer when we had hot weather, unless I went REALLY slow and/or took only a half cut, about every two bags full the chute would clog. This is really a drag because often, the grass is damp due to our rain. I notice that the hard cover on the bagger has a screen which I assume allows for air flow out of the bagger to keep that clean and free of grass and keep the bags clean as I assume air needs to flow out of the bags to keep the air flowing as well for maximum bagging.
Does anyone else have this problem and if so have you found a fix for it? I was wondering if somehow modifying the hard cover on the bagger to allow more airflow would help this issue.
