Anybody use any of the aftermarket grass catchers on there Exmark walk behind mowers. While Exmark makes there own bagging unit it seems a bit pricy, so do any of the other units do the job?

I bought a "grass gobbler" can. It works good. There is also an extension that can be attached for larger volume.

It was cheaper than the exmark version.

Too bad your not closer, I have one that just sits. I bought the exmark bag and have used it maybe 2 times.

Go with the grass gobbler if you are bagging more than once a week. This is because the bag you can get from exmark is cloth, it could rip, metal doesn't rip;)

With all the rain I was looking into a grass catcher. What is a good price for a Grass Gobbler? My dealer quoted me $225! That's alot for a can.

I got my Grass Gobbler XL for $199.99, That was a reduction from my dealer, he usually pitches the commercial guys a deal cause they do soo much business.

There is also a product called the "accelerater". It is made out of aluminum. My dealer quoted me at $300.00.

If you order the Grass Gobbler be careful to make sure you get the right bracket for your deck. The one I originally received didn't fit my deck and I had to exchange the bag and bracket. Apparently exmark has changed the deck on the newer models (mine is the metro hp 48).

The grass gobbler only fits on the Exmark fixed deck. I have a floating deck and had to buy the accelrater. It works great.

We use Accelerator's and like the weight of Alum, but they need to be reworked every season as they get bumped and thrown around quite a bit.
