what's going on everybody we are back uh outside in the yard last time we had a video that looked
like this we were reviewing the ferris zero turn mower that i got probably about two years ago
now so i'm coming back with a similar video but not about the mower we're actually gonna
hear about the bagger system so i had a i have a kubota that had a bagger system on it that i
was using to clean up all the leaves because we have tons of trees as you can see and i
actually shredded the gearbox last year so i had to do some hand raking and it was terrible
so i wanted to make sure i didn't have to do that again this this fall and we're getting
close to that time so i just purchased a uh snapper pro bagger system two bag and three
bag it has both options with a hard top for the fair for my ferris 800. so i wanted to kind of go
through a review i've got to use it now probably about five or six times a little bit of wet grass
uh dry grass just overall capacity things like that i wanted to kind of walk through with you
so that's what we're going to do on this video we'll roll the intro and we'll be right back
all right everybody here we are here is the look first thing i wanted to do was kind of
do a walk around just to show you some of the parts um and the components and
then we'll kind of dig into some more i have some notes on my phone i'll pull up my phone
so i can make sure that i don't miss anything but overall one thing i'm really really impressed
with is the materials even though there is some plastic on the back end which we'll get into but
everything feels really tight feels strong doesn't feel any weak points nice guard here on the front
um obviously the belt connection it connects right to the the mower deck belts
the you see turbo pro max will go up the back this guard comes all the way along the bottom to
protect you know this is hard industrial plastic that goes in that connects for the chute let me
back up here a little bit so you can see and go up the plastic chute uh it does look obviously
green because i mowed a couple times but it was clear when i got it i'm sure if i if i clean
this out i'll be able to see through it again it is nice because you can actually see the grass
coming up through the chute and uh kind of know when you're at a
a pack limit because that's the one complaint i'll say and it's kind of with all bagger systems
you can't tell when if things full you'll start seeing some grass in the yard that's
usually a good tell um but it there's no you know there's no full meat or anything like that but
none of them really have that so it's not a huge ordeal as you can see over here you have
the latch system for when you pull the lid up just uh simple tie downs three bags i got the three bag
system because i have a lot of yard to mow uh the bags are nice and we'll get into some of that but
so i just want to do a quick walk around we're gonna start back out at the front
just to talk about this the way the dealer i haven't had to take this off yet but the way the
dealer explained it to me is you pretty much keep this system and you know you can undo the belt
keep this system all in one you know all the way through here through the bolting system just on
you can keep this all the way up to here you you just use this unhook this this all stays together
as one piece and you kind of set that aside and then you can just keep the baggers on there and
it's not a problem the way the baggers bolt onto this is actually onto the the three bars in the
back looks like they got some u-bolts and when i pull the bags off i can show you that and there's
a pin system here you can you can uh cantilever it there as well if you need to but that's kind of
this side you know nice components this is all metal this is the hard plastic like i said
this is all metal uh metal all the way through this is kind of like a sheet metal type setup
get in there a little bit this pins to where the uh the the chute would go for the actual
regular mower and we'll come up the side this is a clear plastic a nice metal uh stainless stainless
band here and then goes up here um when i was actually mowing the wet grass i had to
pull this off a couple times because we had a clog situation up here at the top
it really only happened because i was mowing too fast with the wet grass so really all you do is
you unhook this you just turn it just kind of a band with uh with tension you kind of swing this
down and then this pulls down and then you know this goes out that way and then you can kind of
unclog what i found to work really well is once you do that pull that down lay it down there
and then get on your mower again and run it and it'll blow everything right out the back and i can
do an example of that as well so simple straps here nothing crazy we'll go to the other side
and we'll unlatch this one lift this up and you can see right here i don't know if i can do this
oh kick safe got it all right so underneath here i try to keep it reasonably clean but simple shoot
here has a metal kind of deflector the first thing the grass will shoot all the way over to this wall
obviously and fill up that bag and then as that gets gets full it goes into three different bags
uh bags are good construction i do i do like them my only concerns is obviously with the all bag
system you have these tears at the front end right because this is metal you're sliding it into so
that is my one main concern with this bagger system is you know when you're sliding these in
the middle one especially this one's kind of tight it does get balled up here a little bit and you're
getting you know you're getting the uh the rub here which is essentially going to tear the
bag long term but one addition i do like if you flip these bags over they have nice hard plastic
bottoms with these with these great grab handles because when these are full you know wet grass
dry grass they're actually decently heavy so you want to especially when you're flipping them over
and then you're pulling up on them this is a great this is a great addition they're not they're not
material or anything like that they're strong they're metal so they shouldn't have any breakage
there you're probably going to have the breakage though like i talked about right here on sliding
them in they slide in these channels in and out real easy and the bags really aren't inexpensive
to replace too much but pretty simple under here nothing crazy
some mesh netting or yeah mesh netting to uh keep the grass uh coming down into the chutes
kind of catches everything you can see the bracket system here get a little bit closer
here's your pool pins to you know tilt it forward as well if you would ever need to
so let me pull out my cell and make sure i don't miss anything that i wanted to discuss
so we did talk about the strong materials you know the plastic is the hard plastic which is nice it
doesn't everything seems to be constructed very well let me back up here a little bit
uh large capacity with the three bags um tons that you can get tons of grass in here so i usually i
have to mow close to probably three and a half four acres and uh you know if i'm keeping it up
with it and i'm mowing maybe once or twice a week at a reasonable and i'm usually set
about three and a half to four on the mower i'm probably dropping the bags maybe three or four
times in that amount of time which isn't terrible uh for you know for this side of the bag system
uh easy to assemble for clogging which we covered weights on the front so that's the other addition
they did add weights on the front of the machine because you're adding so much weight on the back
end with the baggers especially when they're full if you have any hills this is more for a safety
feature the individual that i bought this from said you know if you're seeing a lot of changes
in the way it mows you can remove one weight you know wouldn't recommend removing both i've kept
both on i haven't seen a huge difference in the in the mowing capability or the ease or anything like
that so i kept them on just for safety reasons but really they just pulled onto the front
and they have a pin that goes through and you can add additional weights too if you need
and uh so super strong throwing power which i will which i did talk about and i'll do a demonstration
for that as well but i just want to i think that's everything i wanted to cover materials are strong
these are all metal as well on the back all this is metal metal bracketry uh metal plate on the
back there you know plastic it's the metal rods in here uh covered with the bag strong plastic on the
bottom but overall i really really like it um like i said i had a bagger system on my other tractor
but this is the first one i've ever had for a zero turn because this is my first zero turn really
enjoy it the reflectors are nice but we will do the demonstration and if anybody has any questions
about the bagger just comment in the video down below i'll give you as much information as i can
i'm going to put a picture of the actual front of the manual so you know exactly what kind it is
i'll put that at the front of the video as well and at the possibly at the back
and yeah that's about it super happy with it so far it's doing a great job and i don't think i'll
have any issues in the future so we'll leave it there i'll i'll throw in the demonstration of
throwing either at the beginning or end and if you liked the video give it a like thank you very much
you
