New to Cub Cadet. Bagging is awful. Any ideas?
First time Cub Cadet owner. I have used Toro, Yard Machines, and Craftsman. I have to say, this one bags the worst. It seems only about 50% of grass is actually bagged (yes, I'm using the high lift blades). The rest seems to be blown out the bottom, and off that, a lot end up on top of the deck, and the rider.
The Craftsman, which is what I owned before this, had a baffle, but the CC does not. I'm assuming this is a design flaw. Do you all have ideas how to improve this? Thx in advance. |

model: 13APA9CT056
bagger: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Cub-Cade...oduct-overview and I should've been more descriptive. It's no just bagging, its mowing too. A large part of the grass shoots under the deck gets everwhere, including mower deck. It bothers me most when I'm trying to bag since just moving grass to the right really isn't what I'm looking for. |

Are you operating the mower at full throttle while mowing? That is necessary to have high rpms on the mower deck especially when bagging.

Brand new machine?
Has the deck been properly leveled and adjusted correctly from front to rear? |

Are all the blades on correctly? The deck on that is molded so no baffles needed. It is a high lift deck assuming it has the deck that came with it of course. I had one many years ago and it bagged great. Tall grass, leaves etc were never an issue bagging.

Here is some helpful hints: https://www.lawnmowerfixed.com/grass...oubleshooting/
At this time of the year with the weather cooling down the grass will tend to be damp, thus contributing to the problem. I would look for blockage and make sure the bags aren't clogged.

Is there some type of blower unit between the bagger system and the mower deck?
You will need a blower system for it to work right. As stated in earlier post the grass is wet and heavy. You will need a good exhaust vent for the system to work right. I have a system something like this: https://trac-vac.com/ www.cyclonerake.com

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
