You should consider making one, I did & saved myself over $200. Really simple & easy to make. I haven't got any pics up yet, but will soon. Cost me $75 to make my own.

http://www.lawnsite.com/showthread.php?t=378715 this should bring up some pics of the chute blocker. mine is on a walkbehind, so its hand operated. im sure it wouldnt be hard to rig something up for foot operation! any questions feel free to ask....constructive critique is welcome too!
