Bagging tips for your MTD 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.

Top replacement parts for MTD lawn tractor attachments

• Grease fittings. Grease fittings attach to bearing housings and allow you to grease bearings using a grease gun.
• Brackets. Lawn tractor attachment brackets support the attachment and connect the attachment to the lawn tractor frame.
• Shear pins. Shear pins are soft-metal fasteners that connect impellers or tines to rotating drive shafts in lawn tractor attachments. Shear pins are designed to break if the impeller or tines hit an immovable object such as a large rock or tree stump to protect the drive system and lawn tractor engine from damage.
