Are baggers necessary?

[Toler]

Have a 2008 exmark turf tracer, and im wondering if a 400$ bagger is worth the money. I mow residential yards and sometime need to bag grass and leaves. Should i keep using my push mower bagging system or buy a bag for my big mower??? Help

Will it save you $400 worth of time & trouble??
Do you have enough demand for bagging ??? :smile:KennyV

You have to think whether the time saved will be worth $400 - Only you can work that out.

Whether it's worth the money or not depends on you. $400 for a bagger vs $50 or $60 for the right set of blades, because IMO with the right set of blades you shouldn't need to bag. Personally I wouldn't put a bagger on a Turf Tracer or any large WB because to me it would be a PITA. I'd stay with your push mower if I were going to bag.
