mulching the leaves first then bagging helps me
I pull a gorilla cart trailer behind the Z6 while im bagging so I can stop and dump the bags into the trailer when they’re full and then fill up the bags again before heading to my dump site. Cuts your dumping trips in half.
Hi, I have this mower and bagger and have cut grass for side job for years. Try this, I seen when u lifted that bagger lid alot of the leaves are almost whole which fills the space quicker. Take the bagger tube off and go over the area a few times and chop those pieces up to thumb nail size bits and then put your bagger on and u said u went 4 times, I bet you would only need maybe 2 if that. Give it a shot, works good for me.
Just makes me all the happier to live out in the mountains. We just let the leaves go back to nature around these hills. By December you'd never know there'd been leaves in the yard.
Good review and, me being an X professor, businessman, TV, radio and author guy married forever, but have lawn care most the year, but looking for doing the leaves, not racking all day, seems a No brainer! However, my crew stops in our 85% heavy tree cover in the north central mountainous Alabama area late December. With not ten or fifteen trees this guy has, but literally thousands going down the mountain about 1,250 feet and we are talking mostly hard woods too! Our forest flanks my home with hard woods in back, and two sides. Thank God I am still staying active between book seven and eight, and I need the exercise with for now the best EGO Self-propelled mowers. Sure ridding may be the thing, but exercise in our wonderful Alabama late fall and winters doing leaves is not a bad deal in temps running from 70 F. to a low of 45 F most late winters and in March the leaves will be gone. They unlike his, will come down for at least three months. I wonder like many, why he did not mulch first and then bag, as to cut down on tub build-up, etc. My front yard is smaller than his, about half an acre, so the EGO, (checked out over 15 self-propelled EV mowers and EGO seems to be overall the best in most cases) will work fine and they just fold up into a neat package like a piece of luggage for easy garage storage. I am not sold on the idea of ever giving up my summer lawn care crew, as I have other things to do in high heat and humidity in any part of southeastern America. I know one thing, his kid is going to be a winner with a strong work ethic, as that father and son bonding looked great to me and my wife of 55 wonderful years.
The fact that the tube is clear is a game-changer for me! Just sold my Deere with the rear-bagger and can’t tell you how many times I was mowing just to find out the chute was clogged! 🤬
Got my Ego rig coming this week!
I'm literally checking this video out to do that exact thing. Probably selling my Deere to pick up the Ego. I switched string trimmer, edger, blower, and hedge cutter already. My only concern is the bag capacity looks about HALF of what my Deere bagger can do. I could completely fill 1 yard waste bag with the Deere bagger. I wonder how much this holds.
@@HeadCannonPrime
I had a JD E130 and that bagger is the same size as the Z42 bagger
I also had the E130 w/ the same bushel capacity as the Ego
Very informative video.. probably the best all around I've seen on the EGO. I just bought one and I'm anxious to get mowing with it. 👍
I put plastic garbage bags in side the bags and that cuts out the dust from the dirt and dry leaves.
That is a next level tip. Thank you!!
Very helpful to see there are 2 holes in the back that can carry some weight. I want to be able to use an electric mower to haul some horse feed buckets for me, but wasn't sure how to accomplish that with the EGO.
I have the same issues with my craftsman , thanks for sharing
Deacon is a very impressive future mechanic 😊
Engage the parking brake to stop the beeping when you get off.
Did you hold the + button for the blade speed setting to go into the fifth, "turbo" speed? I imagine that would help with wet leaves.
I know I’m really late to the party but you should have mulched it first then vacuumed it up. That way the leafs would be more compressed in the bagger. Also because it’s pre-munched it’s less likely to clog up the tube. Just saying
It was super wet, it wouldn’t have sucked up
They need an in-chute EGO battery powered blade fan (like on leaf vacuumes that you pull behind your tractor) to increase suction down the chute and get all the grass/leaves into the bags. Mine clogs CONSTANTLY even with relatively dry Zorsia grass in my yard. The chute simply doesnt have enough air speed or volume to lift what most people are mowing.
Delivered a nice even cut, has the super tight turning ability th-cam.com/users/postUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend I was looking for, and is just a blast to drive. It takes a little bit to get used to driving one after driving a normal tractor style, but once you've got it, you've got it. If you're cutting lines, you have to be careful spinning the mower around or the back tire will dig a bare spot. Just take it nice and slow during the turn and then it's back to full throttle across the yard!
I just mow extra short in the fall. No bagging. The neighbors leafs just blow across the extra short grass leaving my yard mostly clean.
It would be a good idea to get a cart and dump the leaves in that and when that is full, take it back to the place where you put the leaves, if it's far away. That would save some time back and forth. Do they have bigger bags? It would also help if you blew the leaves into a pile to help dry them out and put into a smaller area.
Hi, I know you were doing this to collect the leaves, but can I ask, how does the bagger go with actual grass?
I'm assuming you collect the grass as you cut it don't you? Or do you only use this for collecting the leaves and then put the mulcher back on it for the grass?
Regards
Ben
Did you use it for grass clippings when mowing? If so how did it preform. Thanks Max
I like that there is no dust when the leaves are wet but i would not like to empty so much, i think i will keep raking afterwards for now until they improved this issue.
Like that you have your kid involved
Hey Myers-what's the width of this thing with the bags on? I want to buy it but need to make sure it fits in my shed doors. Thanks.
What is the total width of the mower with the bagger installed? considering the Z6 e-Steer one, and I definitely need a bagger due to the amount of leaves i get, but i'm concerned it won't fit through the doors in my shed where i would store it. Thanks.
Now that its spring and now your bagging grass, is hogging down the batteries more?
The EGO E-steer version doesn't have the little slots to hold those caps. Saw e-steer version at Lowes today. There are those little holders on the regular Zero turn model.
What are these slots for? I'm deciding e-steer vs original (about 600 cheaper).
Do have any grade in your lawn? I'm looking at this for my property but it has a decent little grade in the back yard and I've heard these earlier models pre-steering wheel are not so good on hills.
Why not get a tow behind leaf bagger? They hold a lot more and do a better job id assume
Blades on turbo would be a big help 😉
Ben how come you haven't updated in a long time🤔 looking forward to your new videos!
i think i'll stick with a sweeper thx for the vid !
I have a sweaper and I'm looking to replace it. Just doesn't do well enough in my yard and dumbing is a pain
Instead of the $500 for the bagger kit, I just use a regular eGo push mower for bagging, they all come with a bagger (afaik). Then attach a dump trailer to the mower, and empty the collected leaves from the push mower into the trailer. It's what I do. The push mower is a great backup and excellent for quick trim jobs too.
My ego push mower fills pretty quickly and the batteries don’t last as long in the fall and with the high lift blade.
4 full grown maples are beyond it’s capabilities.
So it’s no different than any other 2 bag mower
Did you also complain about them? Just curious
I will be purchasing both eventually
It looks better than raking, I wish it would cut the leaves better to allow for better bag loading.
same
Taking the mower deck and then swapping out the blades look like such a pain. Why don't you get a lawn mower hydraulic lift to lift the mower into the air and then crawl under the mower and swap out the blades?
GOOD 👍
Are you really going to burn all that wonderful fertilizer! I use the leaves to mulch my garden over winter or make compost
I'm curious if you bought or if it came with the mulching blade attachment
It came with the mulch blade
What are those things you added to the front wheels? It sounded like you called them wheel wells. What is their function?
Counterweights to offset the rear when it gets filled w/leaves or grass, i.e. keep it from tipping up in the front.
How big is your yard?
I tow a lawn sweeper works for leaves, sticks, stones and grass and cheaper
Did you have the blades in Turbo mode? Same as setting the speed to travel only on the blade speed settings. My experience with baggers is that the never work well on wet cutting.
I just had the same thought. I'm curious though as I just bought a Z6. I can get the blades to go into turbo mode, but haven't been able to get it to go into travel mode. Any ideas what I might be missing?
@@caseyandgina I don’t know why it’s not going into travel mode. Have you tried it with the park break on & the steering arms open?
Does it need a firmware update.
In Australia we don’t have the firmware update option. I’ve had mine for 2 months now & enjoy it and all functions work.
@@caseyandgina try disengaging the blades (pushing down the button). And make sure the steering arms are open too. Hopefully that works.
@@princered5 Unfortunately not...
Mulch, then Bag?
The boy is old enough to grab a rake😂. Much less expensive than the attachment.
Did you mean "chute" instead of "shoot"?
I'd rather use a lead blower to blow the leaves onto a large tarp and then drag the tarp over to the burn pile and deposit the leaves.
I wonder why it has such small bags? It's up higher than any bagger I have ever seen. I don't know how big those Bags are, but they look about 10gal each.
I have 3 very large live oaks in my yard. So I must have an effective bagger. Holding volume is always a key factor. I'm still using a 1994 snapper riding mower. It's not the biggest most comfortable thing to sit on. But i have found nothing that out works it. I use blades made by a FL company called Gatorback. They are high vacuum and mulching blades.
I don't understand why people are buying tools and equipment that don't work as well or better than older stuff. It's like people are accepting a worse tool just because it's battery-powered.
must be the weight, battery compartment
Easy assembly 👍👍. That bagger sucks.💪💪
yeah, very easy!
Better to grind up leaves then bag
You def do not need to take the deck off to change the blades btw...
Chute>shoot
Hello it's judson
What's up Judson!
Say hi to Deacon and fisher for me
You really should be wearing a rebreather or at least a mask. I bag my leaves every year and you would not believe how much crap you are breathing in from mulching leaves. I wear an N96 rebreather and change out the filters after leaf season because they are just super brown and nasty.
