CRAFTSMAN 1 Leaf collection system for Riding mower 42/46 -in Deck Size

not happy

We still don't have the leaf collection equipment.

Resident

Just bought a craftsman R110 30 inch and paid 1900 for it to find out that is rusted in and out all over

Time saver

Does a great job on lawns but not good for picking up leaves from hard surfaces. I use a blower to push leaves onto the grass then sweep them up.

Leaf collector - good deal - works as advertised

Worked as described - easy to assemble and attach - works great for grass too!

Works as stated

Works well on my John Deere riding lawn mower. I have about 2 acres with a ton of trees so leaf pick up is a nightmare. This has been a great purchase and has helped a lot!

Doesn’t fit a Craftsman LT2000 tractor.

I did not like the fact this chute that come off my mower deck does not fit. I purchased the 42-46 mower deck craftsman and it’s not even close to fitting. The actual leave catcher and tube fit my trailer so all I need is the right chute. No phone numbers in the manual and Lowes says it’s a third party product and they can’t help.

Alleviates Some of the Work

Obvious that it is great for eliminating the raking part but you still have to empty this thing, which IMO is the toughest part unless you have a dump area that allows you to tip your cart and drive away. I do think it is worth the $400. My 19hp mower lets me know when it is full because it puts a strain on the engine. That is one specification that no leaf equipment manufacturer ever mentions, my point is any unit larger than this would be difficult for the average lawn tractor to handle.

Discharge chute does not fit

This leaf catcher took 3 weeks to come in and not all the pieces fit my riding mower. My craftsmen 300 YTS is listed as a match. I was able to get it to work using an older discharge chute. Very disappointed for this very expensive item
