mowing problems

[ashleycaldwell11]

I bought my mower from walmart last year and i put the bagger on it and it will pick up some of the grass but not all of it. Its not clogged or anything and the bagger is on good. any reason why it wont pick up all the grass im trying to get stickers out of our yard and its kinda hard when the mower wont pick up all the grass. when i go to empty the bag its barley has anything in it.

Your profile says it's a Black and Decker mower. Is it running at full power?

Is it a rear bagger or a side discharge? Check the sail on your blades. The sail is the tips/ends of the blades that are twisted upward. This upward twist acts like a vacuum or a propeller that sucks the grass clippings up and discharges into the bag.

best thing to do right now is go out to the mower and get then name of the mower the engine thats on it and the numbers off the mower body so we can see what you have and can go from there

it is a rear bagger.

So,, how does the blade look? Are the sails intact? I have seen them wear through and break off leaving no suction into the bag at all.
