- The bagger does not seem to be vented enough which causes grass clippings and leaves to shoot out from under the deck rather than blow into the bags. This setup makes it almost impossible to pick up leaves.
- The turning radius is as claimed (almost zero). However, the front tires dig into the turf when turning tight, even when going as slow as possible. It is impossible to crank the wheel all the way and not damage the lawn. I believe this to be a camber issue (not enough) which causes the tires to push rather than roll when turned.
Anyone have the same experiences? Anyone with any modification ideas to resolve these issues? Appreciate any help.
Thanks

Dumb question, but sometimes, the simplest things are the answer....have you checked the tire pressure in the left tire?
I've got a right front that runs low on my LT1018, and it will dig really hard on left turns when it's low.
I've got nothing on the bagger issue.
