The bagger continuously clogs in the tube. There is not enough airflow to krep thr grass from falling back down the shoot and binding up at the deck connection. I feel like I just wasted a LOT of money. The only way it will work is if you go VERY slow. Ridiculously slow. It, literally 3 times as long to mow the lawn, not including the time to dump thr grass. For that kind of price you would think Hustler would have had it down to a science. Not even close. Also, the knob that attaches the first tube to the deck falls off. I'm a big strong guy and I tightened the heck out of it. No idea where it fell off... Gotts borrow my neighbors metal detector and search my 1 acre lawn. The mower is great. Bagger SUCKS. Thanks for the time sink Hustler.
