Sweet just ordered this unit and it came today pumped to get it on and bag it up, hoping the clogging wasnt an issue but like you said wet or tall grass is gunna require a slower speed, how does it handle leaves?

If that little warrior has a 2.5L & a 5 speed in it the ONLY problem you might have anytime soon will be the in tank fuel pump. Test it & see for yourself!! The only other thing that might possibly go out is the alternator depending on the shape it was in when it was parked.

I want to be able to haul some relatively light things up there like camp chairs, camping carpet (especially when it's wet) and a folding gazebo. I might put some kind of RV sealant under the washers on the roof too. Thank you!

Thanks for the review, I was considering a bagger, but was worried about all the reviews claiming it clogged too easy. But if you had success by just changing your deck height and speed of cut, then I'm good to order one now!
@TheBarrierBrigade3 ай бұрын
I only had issues clogging if the grass was too high or if it was wet. If you cut it regularly and have good control of it then there are no issues. If you let it go for 2 or 3 weeks then I would just take the speed nice and slow so it’s not putting too much in at one time. But regular grass cuts and being dry is your friend, when it does clog it is an easy fix to unclog

@amiti23593 ай бұрын
Am I missing something here, how are you able to drill through the roof and not add some sort of sealant in those holes when installing the bolts? This would be in addition to the rubber gaskets obvs. I mean that’s a big gamble for year to year camping which could put you in a scenario where it’s pouring through those holes. I’m just curious, as I am looking to build an 80/20 rack for solar cells. But I’m super nervous about drilling through the sealed roof.
@TheBarrierBrigade3 ай бұрын
After about a year I did notice some cracking in the rubber washers so I added clear silicone under them directly on the roof and I haven’t had any issues with that. When I saw the cracking like dry rot it made me nervous. I think I talked about it in another video somewhere later on. Hope it was helpful though!
