http://ift.tt/1HFFJ5B I bought a mower and didnt really think about needing a grass catcher. Well, i did need oneso I looked around and didnt want to spend $3-400 on one for a mower that i might only keep for a few years. I started browsing and used some ideas from various sites. I used the trailer i got from HF and built a removable box in it. I was able to find a 8" tube on Ebay to go over the chute coming from the mower deck for about $65. I also got the chute as well for about $40 on Amazon. I just kind of built it with some ideas in my head and had to redo things a few times but it turned out ok. It works amazingly well and holds a ton of grass. I did go too long between the last mow and some areas of the yard were at least 10" and the tube did get clogged once due to me going to fast and there being to much grass for it to handle. Right now i am just opening the back door and pulling out the grass with rack. I am trying to figure out the best way to be able to tilt and dump it. I am thinking maybe just to undo the bungee cords holding the tube to the chute and separate those while i dump the grass. I spent about $120 on stuff i didnt have so i saved a bit on buying a actual bagger and its more fun building something yourself. Feel free to give my ideas to improve it!!
