Unfortunately Agri Fab does not make a Mow-N-Vac deck adapter for any of the new eXmark mowers. I have a 50 inch deck on my Quest S series mower so to make the adapter fit I needed to do a custom measure and cut.
We take you through the steps on how to measure and cut for a tight fit.

I'm actually the controls engineer at Agri-Fab, I've forwarded your "lack of updated template" concern to the design engineer for this product.

I really appreciate that. We made this video a while ago. I wonder if they updated it in the last few years. We now have a new Toro Titan but I have not checked for a template for that.

@@CountryLivingExperience not since the current engineer took that line, but he's only been there a year or so. I'll forward this info as well.

I think if you moved your initial cut more towards the middle you eliminate the sag by maintaining the integrity of the lower lip. Since the blades do not go below the deck, clearance should not be an issue. Great video

thanks, I have the exact same mower in the TORO line. I happened to be in my sears store and they had an agri fab chipper vac they wanted desperately to get off the floor. I had to oblige them, the price was 65% off list. :)

Nice find. Sears is trying to move everything they can.

I am considering buying one of these and hooking it up to a vintage mower... An antique really. I have a 1948 farmall cub with a danco c3 belly mower

Cool. It should work. Just check the dimensions before purchasing it.

Did you happen to measure the overall dimensions. Thinking of getting this but not sure if itll fit on a kubota bx2200 with a 60 inch deck. The opening seems bigger than the boot

@CountryLivingExperience 5 жыл бұрын

I didn't but I can get back to you on that. I had about another 1.5 inches to play with on that adapter.

Bought it and it works, but if the grass is wet at all (I mean even if the dog takes a leak) it will plug up in minutes. Going to remove it and put it back on during a dry spell. Thanks for the good video though.

@CountryLivingExperience 4 жыл бұрын

Very true. Without a powered impeller the grass/leaves need to be very dry.

Great video, but I can't find the follow-up video you mention on how to attach the adaptor to the mower deck. Can you please provide a link to that video? Thanks!

I am getting a clog on the chute with dry leafs, does it happen to you guys? (I install this chute on a craftman 42" deck tractor mower) if so, how do you avoid it? thanks

@CountryLivingExperience 2 жыл бұрын

We do get clogs. When I drive slowly, it eliminates most of the clogging.

@morrischicago Жыл бұрын

Agree with driving slowly when the layer of leaves get heavy, but also adjusting the hose helped me eliminate most of the clogs. I removed a couple ft from the hose that I originally had it installed with and then make sure the hose hangs with the least amount of sag and curves. I used a bungee cord to hang from the swinging arm and depending on where I have it around the hose greatly influences how often it clogs. Usually when I get it connected to the mower it takes an hour or so adjusting to get the best flow.
