Bagging tips for your Rubbermaid lawn tractor bagger attachment
Mow when the grass is dry to prevent grass clippings from clumping and clogging in the discharge chute going to the collection bags or bins. Mowing when the grass is dry will also make it easier to empty the collection bins or bags when they're full. Wet grass can weigh down the bags or bins and cause premature wear of the attachment parts.
Set mower height so that you don't cut more than 1/3 of the grass blade when mowing so grass clippings can easily flow through the chute to the collection bags or bins. Setting your mower deck at the proper height can also help your grass stay healthy and green.
Use high-lift blades when you have the bagger attached to the mower so grass clipping flow smoothly into the collection bags or grass bins.
Empty the collection bags or bins as soon as they're full. Don't overfill the bags or bins because overfilling can cause excessive wear on lawn tractor attachment parts.
