MTD/Cub Cadet bagger review on XT1 tractor
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มิ.ย. 2019
- Newest addition to my Cub Cadet is a bagger. I grew tired of mulching lines due to the amount of rain the last couple years and not being able to cut as often.
This video discusses the pros and cons I found so far of bagging in general and this specific unit - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Cool sharing bud. Just got this mower yesterday and was looking for advices from folks. Well done and thanks again.
My pleasure. Glad you installed the video. I will likely have another mower video up either this weekend or next week.
Thank you for the information. I really appreciate you taking the time to share with us!
I am glad you found value out of this video. I have a follow up coming out maybe next week showing a device that tells you when the bags are full to avoid overfilling. Stay tuned.
One thing I do when we get a bunch of rain is mow my yard, then let the grass dry for a few hours. Dry grass shrinks some and is lighter an my tube doesn't clog up as easily. Nice review though!
Great video, getting a similar setup soon. To save some time while cutting, your back yard is perfect for cutting like a Zamboni resurfaces an ice rink, cut the yard in half and just do a big oval. Then you can cut down on stopping and backing up to do the next row, time savings.
I used to do that, just the cut marks were weird. I like the straight cut lines.
Thanks for the compliments. You will be happy with this setup. It has a few flaws, but it’s a workhorse
that was a good informative video. I got the same cub cadet. being nit picky the ONLY thing I dont like about it its loud. 2yrs later im used to it. If I get the bagger I now know what route to go. yard looks good. SALUTE!
Thanks for the kind words. I am glad to hear you are happy with your Cub! I thought they were all loud, so I did not give it a second thought. I wear earbuds now when I mow to pass the time and drown out the sound. Only real issue I have with mine is the PTO lever flips back sometimes on its own and I need to re engage the blades sometimes. Otherwise this thing trucks pretty good to my abuse.
PMPerformance ... u welcome. i listen to music. I look at these videos now all the time and I get jealous!.. lol.. I got ppl on my left that stands out and could care less. im 56yrs old and the ONLY time I ever saw code enforcement was going to cite them next door. 3 ft grass. code 18 inches.. which is high. u cant choose your neighbors
@@yadda10akataxpayinvoter Trust me, I know that all too well! I have the same issue. I am no professional lanscaper by any means, but I am finally in the home that makes me feel like I made it ya know? So I try my best to take care of it. I hate having neighbors that make no effort to keep the neighborhood nice
I hear you on the more you spend the more you get. JD does a good job of baiting you to buy up. There’s about $200 between each model to get you another feature or size. A really good marketing system.
Thanks. You did good; suggestion for us deaf guys: subtitles stop when you cuss and do not continue for a while so we might miss some of what you said. Old story, like me: President Truman was a long time gardener prior to. His wife had a tea party and one day he walked through and mentioned something about manure. The ladies were aghast at hearing such! Bess turned and told them it took her 25 years to train him to use the word "manure".
Thanks again, bud.
I didn’t realize I even swore on this one. I have tried to tame it down a bit. Lol
You can click the CC option on the videos and I believe it will add subtitles to the video.
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video feom a fellow Pennsylvanian. We are actually buying a bagger when he gets home from his hitch.
Thanks for watching and glad the video helped
The bagger has been holding up great for me.
Great Accessory!!! I use the bagger late in the year to clean up mulched leaves (Upper Midwest). That flexible hose is great but if it gets cold enough, it will stiffen like a board and I suspect it could split in the seams if then mishandled. I used to store it in my shed but decided it was safer to store the hose in a heated garage while I am still mowing. Now I just leave it in the garage for the winter since I do not know whether cold storage is good for it. Probably expensive to buy a replacement. Yep, the bagger is easy to set up as well allowing the user the choice of whether to bag or not. BTW, that "Glass" viewing window on the top is as worthless as the gas tank indicator on the side body (At least for my eyes). You can also buy armrests and bumper for this unit!!
Thanks for the insight. I’ve had this a number of years now and agree. The glass window is useless. I keep it all out in my shed and no splits yet fingers crossed.
Thanks for this review. I am big time on the fence about dropping $350 on a bagger that has bad reviews overall and I only paid $450 for my used Troy-Bilt! But this vid made me feel better about going for it.
My pleasure. I am glad it helped make your decision.
Honestly, I have no issues with it. I am pretty picky too, so if I have nothing to complain about, no one “normal” likely would. Hahahaha
Did you end up getting the bagger, and if so, what are your thoughts?
@@Theyralltakenfu I did shortly after this and so it’s been >1 full season with it. The heat I think caused the adhesive to fail on the gaskets that help seal the lid. So those have peeled off. I was going to try to re-glue those this winter. I don’t really notice a difference unless I’m going in reverse. Then I notice the leakage past the lid. The lid is as flimsy as advertised. I am very gentle with it and never let it hang all the way open because I feel like it’s not strong enough to support itself by the hinge especially in the summer when the hard plastic gets softer. All in all it’s served it’s purpose and there’s no alternative so what else are you gonna do? If you want to bag, you have to buy it. So all you can do is take care of it as best you can.
@@robbarrios7229 I think heat resistant glue would def take care of the gasket, may even double the gasket if that helps. You can buy something on Amazon, I have it round my door, works great.
I wonder if a bungee cord would help to stabilize things. Just a thought.
Nice video and part # helped. Hilift blades should increase pressure to fill up farther bag 1st.
Thanks for the advice. The further bag does fill up first, but I may need to try a different blade combo for other reasons.
I have been bagging for several years. I have found these hints work best. Tall grass cut at high level and then lower the deck to your normal height. If it isn't too tall you may cut at your normal level if you go very slow. Never ever cut wet grass and keep the underside of your deck clean
Thanks for the advice. I have been trying things here and there to find what works and basically found exactly what you said is what works best. Lol.
What if you irrigate jack?
Hi there love this video and just to let you know if you ever wanted to mow in reverse there’s a key switch and if you put it straight up and down there’s a orange button just press it and it will let you now in reverse just to let you know and I don’t own one but that’s why I love mtd cub cadet and husqvarna no more wasting your time stopping the blades and re in gaging the blades
Warren Gillies thanks, yea I mow in reverse when needed. I try to avoid it though as I usually can go Faster doing rows
PMPerformance well if I had the same mower with I different bagger I will mow forward and reverse when the blades are ingaged so I don’t waste my time
Warren Gillies I am able to do loops and swing around without much reverse
Well that’s good to hear have fun with your mower and I hope that I will see another video of this mower
Check your deck height mine was set at around 3 1/4 when it was supposed to be at 4 inches , I made the adjustments and no more clogging and wash out your deck after every job it really helps
Rafael Torres thanks. I’ll try that out.
Have the same Cub Cadet, but use the Cub Cadet bagger. I think it’s easier to use - no washer or nut to worry about misplacing/losing. Gravity holds it down just fine. Ducting is smooth/hard, so grass just shoots right through; no venting to have dust grass/blow through. Only problem is that the grass flows so well through the ducting that the left-hand bag usually gets packed full while the right-hand bag is less than half-full. I can live with it; works well in every other respect.
Good to know. Some of those are positives for sure over this one.
Thank you for the great video.. True to life with no Bullshit. And yes XT1's are loud as hell and gas hogs. But i've never had the engine bog down, even on some thick, damp St Augustine.
Kent B thanks for the kind words! Enjoying my mowing with my noise cancellation on my AirPod pros. Lol. I forgot how loud it was until the other day when I ran it without earbuds in.
Was thinking about purchasing the CC XT 1 .. Would you say that it’s just as loud as other mowers in that price range? And should that be a deterrent?
@@pozmarciv I would recommend a good set of sound reducing headphones, for pretty much any mower. They are all about the same for loudness.
Thank you for the great video. I've been thinking about buying that bagger for my XT1. Don't need it much, just mainly for fall cleanups.
Just a hint: You probably should put the regular hi-lift blades on the mower for bagging, you'll find you won't have as many clogs using the hi-lift blades, the mulching blades don't have the lift capacity that is needed for a bagger.
Do you have a lot of blow out around the front right side of the mower deck on your machine? I experience this issue a lot, and its worse in the mulching mode....sadly these decks don't have a baffle system for mulching so there seems to be an excessive amount of clippings that get blown out the front of the deck.
William Sevier I may try the hi lift blades again.
These do pretty good for bagging, but yea mulching these aren’t spectacular anymore. Lots of blowing out the front.
This doesn’t clog. Only clog I had was with wet grass and not dumping it soon enough. I haven’t had a clog since this video.
The left hand latch on the bagger is a pain in the butt!
Check out my new video on my Cub. I specifically mention the latches being a pain point and having to watch to make sure they are fully snapped.
Great video
Thank you for watching and commenting. Glad you enjoyed it!
Good review thank you.
Rick Powell glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
@@PMPerformance man if you can put a link to which one this is I can't find it. I would really appreciate that

Thanks so much for the video. I have a similar problem getting in and out of my shed. I too will have to take the side discharge adapter off.
Would you or someone else measure and tell me how long the bagger extends off the back of the mower?
Looks like it goes out another 30" from the the back of the mower.
The shed isnt much an issue for me, its the gate at the fence. Its an annoyance, but my grass was looking great all summer. I will see if I can measure this weekend
Thanks Appreciate the info
Glad you found the video useful. Thanks for watching.
Nice lawn ...how's that xt1 treating you ...if I was you I would mulch my grass ......I am sharing that cuz when I do soil test they always recommended that unless you need the clipping for compost ....just mow once a week or more often you won't even notice the clipping as long as your blades are sharp...
leopold pierre XT1 has been great. I probably don’t treat it as good as I should but no issues.
I have tried all the options. The mulching just didn’t feel like it was giving a great cut recently so I switched.
Granted my blades need to be sharpened.
In rainy season it was still a mess mowing 2x a week. I normally mow atleast once a week.
While you say it makes it easier for you to get the tractor through your gate, I can't help but feel that the corrugated flexible pipe is contributing to your clogging problems, as well as cutting down on the velocity of the clippings which will cause them to not shoot over into the farther bag. I'm glad you consider it an advantage, but I think in reality it is just an attempt by the manufacturer to cut costs at the expense of better function.
Mark Dickson it does not clog unless I run the bags too full or the grass is wet. Neither of which have to do the the corrugated tubing imho. I’ve run this thing for quite a few months now and these are the only 2 scenarios it has ever caused a problem.
The bagging velocity issue is due to him running mulching blades. They don't have near the lift capacity to blow the clippings out from under the deck that a set of hi-lift blades do....when bagging you want and need hi-lift blades to get those clippings up that chute into the bags.
My town requires lawn clippings and leaves to be bagged for disposal. Are these bags big enough that I could put a paper lawn and leaf bag inside the bags and remove the paper bag when it fills, or would I be stuck transferring the clippings to a paper bag after the fact?
That is a good question. I have not tried, but I think these are plenty big enough to fit those 13gal trash bags in them at least.
Wish I had the flexible tube but I have a used one I got for $100 so I’m not gonna complain lol
The flexi tube is soo nice, but yea you spent like 1/3 I did. You can get those tubes separately I think
Can you use the CC tilt cart without disassembling too much of the bagger frame?
Not sure, as I do not have a cart, but I would guess so. Just removing the bags gives you full access to the back
A little hint, you'll get better performance with high lift blades. Those gator blades are great for mulching but not to great for bagging systems because they don't provide the lift needed to shoot the grass into the waste bags. They will work just not as well as high lift blades and cause you to burn more fuel and deal with more clogging
I don’t have a single bit of clogging and minimal shooting out.
I will agree I lean on these blades a little much for an all in 1 blade. To be honest I don’t even think they mulch that well after spending a lot of time with them.
@@PMPerformance I agree 100% I had gator blades on a few mowers, I can't justify the few dollars more, when normal mulching blades in my opinion work better. Maybe if someone is mowing at .02 mph there might be a difference giving the gator blades time to chew up the clippings.
chaotic/Silence very true. I will be switching to my other blades and see if they do better. I am curious now.
Thanks dude! Been contemplating pulling the trigger on this for a while. Now the question is, regular or fast attach? BTW, gotta tell ya, for someone that don't give a shit about grass, that is one nice looking lawn! Have you discovered "The Lawn Care Nut" yet?
Thanks for the kind words man. My yard is far from perfect, but I try to do the best I can with my extremely limited knowledge. I do watch the yardcare nut, Ryan Knorr, The Gynga guy to get ideas on how to do things. I usually get lost on chemicals though.
I'd say the quick attach system may not be worth it. I have not had a situation yet where I thought I needed the whole thing off. Just the tube really.
@@PMPerformance picked up the fast attach version today. Just what I needed since I'll use both the cart and the bagger every time I mow. Thanks again for the vid!
Rocket Scientist my pleasure. Had it helped your decision.
Have you experienced the closure snaps cracking or breaking off and can you tell me the MTD part number?
Thanks
Paul Jensen not as of yet or any indication of it. I been using this setup quite a few months now
I wish it had hard bags. I look like Pigpen after mowing my yard. My old Craftsman had hard bags. The only dust was out the vent on the side. Dust blows out the mesh bags and I am one big dust cloud.
L2fish i don’t think they dust too bad. Were the hard bags any harder to handle though? I walk mine out to my truck to dump. Wonder if that would be any more an issue.
@@PMPerformance Not really. I like the handle on the bottom of the bags though. That would be nice on bottom of hard bags. Im wondering if there are hard bags out there that would fit.
L2fish hmmmm, if you find any report back. I am curious now.
I have to stick something in the seals on the lid area as they started popping out now. Otherwise this has been a pretty great setup.
My jd engine puked (entec briggs)so just bought cub lt46 with kohler.. i use high lift blades with baggers wondered if you’ve tried them??Thanks
I have not that I recall. I think I only used my gator blades.
Sorry about your JD, but congrats on the Cub.
How hard to take off and put back on? Some parts of the season I don’t need it.
I take the chute off regularly. Like every use so I can get through my gate. Its just sliding back the chute and undoing a wingnut.
I have not taken off the whole back system yet, but its like a pin with cotter pin through it if memory serves me. Pretty easy.
Be careful if the blads get dull your grass might clump when you mow
I try to keep on top of sharpening my blades.
I have never had an issue with clumping though in the probably 7 years I’ve had this thing now.
Only when mulching and the grass is wet or too high
How did u get your grass that nice
It is a constant struggle. I do not personally think my grass is all that nice, but it does photograph fairly well. I try to dethatch yearly and overseed yearly in some fashion and weed and feed a few times a year as I remember with the season changes. I really wish I could get into a routine and get it perfect, but too many other things going on in life.
Do you have to remove the mulching kit and put on the regular blade for the bagger to work? Thank you!
You do not "HAVE" to, but it may perform better with a higher lift blade. I use my gator blades in every scenario and they seem to work fine for m
Yes, if you want the best performance you need to put hi-lift blades on the mower otherwise you get a lot of chute clogging, and poor bagging performance. The mulching blades will do marginally ok in good conditions, but best if you put the hi-lift blades on when you want to bag.
William Sevier honestly, my bagging works pretty well with these blades. I have not had clogging other than 1 time mowing wet grass and not crumping quick enough.
I mostly agree though.
Do you think all grass catchers on riding mowers are this much trouble or have you learned of any other riding mower/grass catcher combination that is easier to work with and more functional. Just asking because I need to buy both for next year. Thanks
Not sure what you mean “this much trouble”
I do not think I made any complaints in the video about it.
Oh no, you didn’t indicate that at all. Just to me it’s a lot more involved than the walk behind I’m used to bagging with. My main goal is finding something that is the easiest available. I didn’t know if a ZTR bagger was any easier to use than a lawn tractor or if it matters. What do you think?
Doug Gracy it’s not involved at all. It’s just not part of the mower and an add on, so it’s just something you need to install.
I have really no qualms with this setup. It’s been on since I made this video
I appreciate your video and sharing of your experience. I will try to decide between a ZTR and a lawn tractor for my needs. Thanks again.
Doug Gracy my pleasure.
I would say the ZTR would be a sweet deal. I often wish I had some better turning radius, but I think you are limited more with addons with a ZTR compared to a tractor.
Just depends what you want to do with it I guess.
I notice you have something similar to the Gator blades. Do you think it'd work different/better with high lift blades? Thank you
I have gator blades on it. I believe I tried with high lift blades as well and made no difference. It bags fine.
I keep the gators on it as I go back and forth with bagging and mulching depending on how i feel and the season.
@@PMPerformance when you mulch, do you need a plug? I just bought this ride on today (used) and new to this. Video is great!
@@bdeck4368 yes, the plug helps keep the grass moving around the deck to cut it up finer.
Otherwise it’s just going to discharge out the hole, just more messy without the chute to direct the clippings.
Thanks for watching and enjoy the mower!
@@PMPerformance and then remove plug for when you use bagger, right?
@@bdeck4368 correct.
I swap back and forth regularly depending on my goal for that cut.
How's the rig holding up?
Holding up great. I’ve banged it up plenty backing too close to my fence and it’s still all together and functional.
Rubber seals coming off on mine so watch when you lift lid to dump grass they are not laying in with the grass. I have lost 2 OF mine before i realised they were coming off
Mine comes off all the time. I did lose one. The other comes off every time I lift the lid. One of these days I’ll glue it on. Lol
@@PMPerformance do you know where to get replacements? Mine has the cub cadet logo on it
@@radioflyer9959 I would assume mtd or cub cadet direct.
I haven’t checked yet to be honest
Bada bing bada boom
Why bag when you can mulch put some lime down and the grass will decompose and improve your soil.
Mulching does not give me great results. It always looks sloppy. I may try again with different blades, but also the mulching plate on my mower is sub par and grass builds up between it and the deck and clumps up.
Did you turn your safety pto shut off when backing? If so can you show me how? Thx.
No So yea, you just flip the key back a notch like in your car going from on to accessory. Then hold the triangle button for a couple seconds and it will light up showing the PTO reverse safety is disabled.
If that does not make sense I can make a video showing how to do this.
PMPerformance I should have read the manual. Just figured it out and that made a huge difference. Thank you
No So yea it is a must have! My friends John Deer isn’t anywhere as simple and had to hack it
I have a older version that u pull for pro. U know how to turn If off on that model
Doug Clark I do not, sorry.
You should be able to look up the manual for that mode to find out
Its a high lift blade u should have on im irish were used to rain
“Should” sure. But I’ve been running it with the gator blades with nothing I consider to be any issues.
I had the high lift blades on and didn’t seem to make any diff
@@PMPerformance iv used them here in ireland they chop the grass smaller but they do clog if u like to collect your grass ud be far better off with a rear discharge machine then the side discharge
Noel Cahill I watch the chute a lot closer when the grass is thick and moist.
I haven’t had too many problems with clogging
@@PMPerformance here in ireland and britain with our weather the side discharge collector really dont work in the wet cub cadet john deere they all have rear discharge tractors on the market over here
Bagging leaves I leave bags off 1st pass reduce size of leaves, then put on bags to vacuum up leaves. Bags be really heavy then.
I have found my gator blades chop the leaves up pretty fine. The bags do fill up crazy quick though when picking leaves up.
Maybe I will try your method out in the fall to see if it helps with less baggage.
PMPerformance. Warning, those bags will be crazy heavy.
Jeffrey Devoti they really weren’t. I’ve done it a few times. No heavier than grass in my opinion
PMPerformance Giant oak trees in my yard, when their chopped fine, get really heavy. Just my experience. My mower was a 1988 Lowe's Task Force 12hp made MTD. Mower was $888.00, Bagger was $200.00 new then.
Jeffrey Devoti personally I do not think they were any heavier, but man did they fill quick.
Maybe I’ll try mincing them up first next time to see if that helps at all
Is the bagger working ok? I was thinking of getting one.
Works great. Haven’t had any issues really to mention which is rare as I am picky and things are generally made like trash these days.
Any questions, let me know.
Thanks for watching!
@@PMPerformance thanks looks like club cadet version is cheaper right now on homedepot.
@@jasonbrown5376 added bonus!
This video is a bit old and my
Memory is terrible, but I think the cub cadet one maybe had a hard tube instead of the flexitube?
@@PMPerformance ok ill check. I want the flexible.
@@jasonbrown5376 my humble opinion, certainly get the flexitube
That model number is for the Troy Built. Did you have trouble with the quick attachment?
Joseph Greene it’s all MTD. Same factory, just diff stickers.
Absolutely no issue hooking it up.
@@PMPerformance thx
Install a window bagger that can be lifted open to look into.....
james doe this one has a window. The window gets trashed though from the grass. Doesn’t stay very clean very long
What does the lever do ??? (not the one that raises or lowers the deck) I have the same mower and it only has the deck lever.
buddha420able it’s the PTO lever
I have the same bagger but the plastic see thru funnel keeps coming off at the top while ridding it. I pushed all the way inside but keep coming off. Anyone has the same problem?
I cannot even see through my panel as it gets caked up with grass right away, but no mine has not budged. Just my seals under the lid fall off.
I would contact MTD and see if they have some kind of warranty. Take advantage of warranties when you can!
On my bager the clear tube screwed into the plastic top part were it discharged into the bags
It's supposed to screw on, at least mine does anyways
Wht type grass u have?
logman2012 the green kind. Lol.
I am no grass aficionado, but I think it’s mostly tall fescue and rye with a little blue grass mixed.
I have St Augustine.....I cut high about ..3.5-4"...That's why I asked..tks
logman2012 yea this mower will do the trick. I mow mine tall as well.
Have you experienced grass and leaves coming out the front and side, where the bagger is attached, I am not happy about it collects leaves, it just shoots them onto the grass that you just cleared. : (
...Any solutions???
Are you talking about at the deck area? Or are you talking about at the actual Bag Area?
@@PMPerformance Deck area. The leaves shoot out the front and side...I would make a video but i dont know how...
Mary ann malec ok, so in that case yes I have noticed that with leaves. It’s not a ton but I did alter my cleanup to loop around so any leaves shoot inside the circle and hit on next pass.
I was wondering if maybe it was due to my deck being at full height or my blade type or not being sharp.
I’ll have to keep an eye on that for next fal. Grass cutting wise though, I cannot say I have noticed it.
@@PMPerformance Yes, I will have to figure out a technique... Thanks for the reply.
Mary ann malec my pleasure,
Try diff deck settings too.
What blades are you using?
Are they sharp?
you forgot one thing wrap 3 sides of the bagger with a heavy duty shower curtain that has been cut down to cut down on dust
I really don't get any dust at all. When I open the lid, any of the smaller grass and crap gets stuck to the insides of the vents. I just wipe them off at dumps and Im good. Ill keep that in mind though if that starts happening
@@PMPerformance depends on your yard
Frank Edwards Not sure what size of yard matters for what you suggested. I don’t let the bags get overfilled, so nothing shoots out.
I may be doing a review soon on a bag full indicator in the near future, but I really keep an eye on my bags to avoid issues.
I mow 1/2 acre with this and no issues. If the grass isn’t too long, I dump like 4x during the mow.
What's the max cutting height?....
logman2012 4” is the max setting. I usually mow between 3.5-4” depending on my mood and time of year.
Great. Tks
@@logman2012 My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
The mtd one only saves me $10
This video has to be over a year old at this point, so prices may have changed.
PMPerformance ok when will you Make a update video
Joshua’s Lawn Care I didn’t think there was a desire for an updated video. But I have been thinking of making an overall video of my likes and dislikes of my Cub Cadet after using it a few years.
I can include my long term experience with this bagger on there maybe.
@@PMPerformance ok that would be nice because I’m thinking about buying one!
Joshua’s Lawn Care ok, I’ll add that to my list of next videos since I am running low on content.
Stay tuned
You should have cut that on 3.25.
Shemuel Israel depends on my mood and season. When it is cooler I cut lower. When hotter I keep it a little taller.
@@PMPerformance 💯
Shemuel Israel thanks for the view and advise.
@@PMPerformance For sure 👍 I've subscribed to your channel, I own a Cub Cadet and Husqvarna 52" deck.
Shemuel Israel very nice! Thanks for the support.
I just sharpened my gators and went back to mulching first a little.
Why are you cutting damp grass let it dry.
Shemuel Israel exhaust I cut on Saturday or Sunday mornings most of the time.
When I can, I try to cut after work, but it’s usually easier to do this stuff on weekend mornings.
This Cub Cadet bagger system is a lightweight piece of junk. Would recommend trying to find a generic system that might fit. Plastic is thin. My clear tube has already split. Plastic rectangles at top of bags will eventually get brittle and break. Stay away from this one.
Sorry for your negative experience. How long have you run it? Mine has been solid. I think I am at a full year on it now
@@PMPerformance I’ve had it for 5 weeks.
@@edwardpiroska9757 maybe you got one of the Covid rush/no staff units.
Unfortunately that is a new thing we are going to face is worse quality of items in 2020 and beyond due to demand vs staffing issues due to workers being sick.
Sorry to hear about your experience.
I’d just return is and try another. Lowe’s/Home Depot are pretty good with returns.
If not call Cub/MTD, whichever you got. Pretty much everything you buy has atleast a 1 yr warranty.
compost that shot and grow a garden.....
My yard is way too big and too much grass to compost it. I tried composting it and it’s just too much
You’re not supposed to cut gras while it’s wet period! Did no one teach you that growing up? It’s not just messy, it dulls the shit out of your blades dude!
Sorry, I did not grow up with a yard or a dad to show me things. I was a city boy with a hustler for a pops. He taught me how to make a dollar out of 15 cents, not cut grass.
I just learn as I go.
Thanks for the input though
PS: I like to do my boy chores in the morning. I do not intentionally cut it wet like after it rains, but morning dew is the battle. I have since started to mow in the evenings on weekdays which helps a bit, but my grass is pretty hearty and healthy, so it retains moisture pretty well.
@@PMPerformance I’m sorry! I never had a father but a mean ass grandpa that was my father and beat the shit out of me all the time
@@robbiemiddlebrooks8188 sorry to hear. Yea I didn’t get taught all the “manly” things like how to work on cars, and how to build and maintain things and sports like most boys.. I just figured out as I go. I think I did pretty well to be honest
That being said though I know not to mow when wet. It was the morning dew I was referring to, because again I like to start my mornings early so I can play on the afternoon with my cars and boats and things of the such. Just can’t do the fun stuff until the shit work is done
Thumbs down for foul language. Otherwise, good review.
