This is a G-R-E-A-T product!!
Wife & I are severely limited to the amount of bending/lifting we can do. We have to force ourselves to do yard work such as raking. We were considering hiring someone to help with the raking & bagging on our roughly 1 acre yard. I figured the cost of the bagger vs. hiring someone would be close to the same, so decided to give the bagger a try. GREAT CHOICE! There must have been some serious design changes over the past couple of years, because unlike some of the complaints in previous reviews, I have to say that this baby went together flawlessly. It almost put itself together, that's how easy it was. Here's a clue if it doesn't go together for you ... Read The Manual! It's not rocket science. It fits well on my LT 2000. We lined the bins with 39 gallon yard bags. Wife raked oak leaves from under the trees & shrubs and I drove over the piles with deck settings between 3 and 6 depending on how much height I needed. I gave the lawn a quick once-over, checking the chute & bins frequently. No Clogging. The left bin fills first then the overfill goes into the right bin. If the left bin started to overfill, I would simply push some of the leaves/yard waste from the left bin to the right. Simple. Remove & replace bags, and we are set. We filled six bags in less than an hour (usually a full day exhausting job). Our yard has never looked better. We can't wait to get out and do some more. $300 seems a bit spendy, but it certainly saved us in the long run from strained backs and wicked bad muscle pain.

Hard to repair
I have used one of these for the past several years. A few years ago, the plastic on the hinge area on the top cover broke. I have searched Sears for a new cover but am not able to find one, I'll probably have to buy the whole thing new. While it was intact it worked fine, but the lower rating is due to the lack of parts, and the poor construction of the hinge area

Worthless

I wouldn't buy this product ever again. We only owned the product for 2 weeks and then it started to break apart. We asked Sears to replace the product because we had bought it thinking that it was a Craftsman and Sears stood behind their Craftsman products, but unfortunately they do not stand behind their brand. This bagger is a piece of junk.

6 bushel 2 bin hard bagger.

This works fine for leaves in the fall but moist grass gets clogged and won,t fill the bin.

Bad Design

I have owned craftsman tractors in the past. And the flaws I see on this bagger is the shoot design you need to have the clear plactic windows on either side of the shoot and a handle and heavy duty rubber straps to hold it togther. I have purchased the new 2012 LT-1500 and will be adapting a John Deer bagger to the unit. Talk to your customers before you redesign.

Great for leaves if you know the secret!

This is the greatest attachment for a tractor ever. I have owned one on my 42 inch 15.5hp tractor for 10 years now. It's great for picking up grass clipping, durable, and with the secret you can pick up a yard full of leaves The secret is this: Take one of the bins off, and put the bottom part away. Get a 45 gallon drum liner bag and put it in the top part, using it as a "frame" to hold the bag. Drape the edges of the bag over the edge of the frame. Then put that in the left side (looking from rear) and put the other bin on the right side. Then mow. You will fill a 45 gallon bag of mulched leaves. When full pop it off and put another bag on. Repeat..... So there you go. Enjoy!

I would recommend this product to a friend.

2 bin bagger

We only used it once, but will be using it more next year, to help with the cumbersome amount of leaves we have to do each year. We feel this will be a big help instead of raking time and time again.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Best gift ever!

I got this for my birthday and it has saved my back. All the leaves have fallen and I look forward to jumping on my tracktor and sucking them up with my new bagger. My only complaint would be that my yard is too big.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Redesigned??

I had installed this bagger on a friend's LT2000 tractor about 5 years ago and had similar issues as other reviewers with the "gap" between the lower pipe assembly and the mowing deck - that is, it just didn't fit right. Despite that, I recently purchased (Sept. 2012) the bagger for my LT2000 tractor and low and behold, the lower pipe matched the mowing deck perfectly (i.e. no gaps). They've even devised a support plate that holds the lower pipe assembly in place. I've used the bagger twice so far and it works great picking up late season grass clippings and fallen leaves, mulching them up into compostable material. As others have noted, I suggest that you run your mower at the highest throttle for best results.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

Easy Assembly & Worked Great

I put this bagger on an older craftsman DLT 2000. First I made sure it would fit. I took the bagger number that was under the tractor hood and cross referenced it to this bagger. Assembly was easy, 15 min tops. Didn't even have to bolt anything on except for the extra support plate on the discharge chute. Couldn't wait to try it so I cut some damp grass with some leaves, no problems, never clogged and I don't have bagging blades on it yet. It does tend to fill the left bin first, but overflows into the right, think this occurs because the bins are mounted off center on the back of the tractor. By trimming off a little of the discharge chute in the bin might even out the filling of the bins.
