John Deere - 229-L (6.5-bu) hopper and chute for S140 Series with 48-inch mower deck

Overview
 
The bagger kit can be set up without tools in minutes, provides efficient bagging performance, and has easy-to-empty bags. This is also commonly known as a material collection system (MCS).
Benefits
 
Bagging

•     Two durable bags provide a generous 229-L (6.5-bu) capacity.
•     The lower chute provides smooth airflow to reduce the chance of plugging.
•     A duct directs air leaving the hopper toward the ground for clean operation.
•     Loose-knit bags and a large exit duct allow more air flow to provide complete bag filling in wet grass conditions.

Emptying

•     Monitor bag filling progress through a window; see light coming through the loose-knit bag or watch for grass lying against it.
•     The hopper lid stays open while you empty the bags.
•     The bags slide out with a pull and the handles make emptying easy.
•     The hopper cover automatically latches when you close it.

Additional details
 

•     Front ballast is recommended when bagging, especially on hills or inclines. Follow instructions in your operator’s manual.
•     Use of rear tow-behind attachments that could contact the hopper assembly is not recommended.
•     Installation:
•        The bagger kit can be set up without tools in minutes.
•         Special mower blades are not required for bagging. Two optional high-lift blades (AM141034) are included to increase bagging performance.
•         The kit is easy to remove and stores compactly. No parts are left behind to interfere with other attachments.
