does it work well for grass clippings

Depending on the size of the yard, I am not sure how well it would work with grass clippings. The issue with the bagger is that it becomes very heavy, and that results puts a significant strain on the cords that are fastening to the mower. I've struggled with my bag, as it has become more of a pain to keep it fastened tightly to the mower resulting in just as much time as it does just to empty my double bagger.

So far we have used the bag for leaves. We are on a wooded lot. Of course, lawn clippings are included with the leaves. My husband bought a total of 3 of these bags. He is able to do both our lawn and the neighbors lawn (we have suburban size lawns). He can fit 3 bags in the back of his small pickup to get to the compost site. He says that these bags are saving him a ton of time. We have had several neighbors stop by to find out where he got the bags.

Yes, it works well for leaves and clippings but it does get very heavy when the grass/leaves are wet. My husband likes it and we have a huge yard so he can do it in three passes without having to empty the bag. It is a good investment!

Only as a small portion of your total load. The volume of the bag is so large that heavy green grass or even damp leaves make the bag extremely heavy and difficult to pull and unload. I love it when the leaves are dry, brittle even. It works like a charm!

It is designed for leaves. It will work for grass clippings, but the bag will get heavy and put stress and possibly break your hopper and bagging unit. I do not recommend it for grass clippings. Mulch your grass, the mulched grass is free fertilizer.

No. The bag is intended for leaves. While picking up leaves you will get some grass clippings mixed with leaves, but you can't use it strictly for clippings due to the weight.

Works well for everything. Even better if you have high lift blades installed on your tractor.

It works really well, however it is heavy when filled. I would suggest empting when half filled.

Hi Mary, I haven't used it yet. I purchased it primarily for use with my chipper/shredder/vac. However, I don't believe there is any way you could expect to use it for grass clippings, dragging it around behind your mower. The grass clippings would be too heavy which is why they show it (or its competitor does, I forget which) as a leaf collection bag which are much lighter weight than grass clippings.

Personal Opinion: I don't think so. This is a push sweeper not a power sweeper of blower. It works best on freshly cut grass clippings with leaves mixed in. I did read one review that it doesn't work well on small oak leaves

depends on how long the weeds are. 6in or more is difficult, will need to go over area a couple times. works great on grass even if it is a little long.

I don't expect it would work as well with gravel. The grass slides through the tongs but you might end up scooping up and losing some of your gravel. Worth a try based on the cheap price though. You can't really go wrong.

Yes, it will suck up grass clipings if you can keep it running more than a season. My experience with not-so-expensive small engine machines such as Ryobi are "you get what you paid for." They just don't last too long. I am not good at repairing or maintaining machines like this so after one season I take it to local repair shop. Their repair bill is usually more than the price I paid for so I let them have it and go out and buy another.

In my experience, it did not work well. It caught about half of the grass. On a perfectly level lawn, it may work better.

greg, i would be more concerned with if it cuts the grass well !! i got rid of mine by putting it on the street, the night before bulk pickup....i am sorry, but i thought it was garbage ! that is all i can say.

I use mine for 2 acres. It does not do well on very rough terrain. I have a bicycle handle brush cutter with metal blades for the really rough ground. elw

my husband uses it forpicking up grass clipping and any bits of paper,etc. that is on the ground.its not meant for large objects.

No, I don't think it would work well for that. I used it on pinecones and small branches and it worked well. I use my lawnmower with bag (Greenworks as well) to collect and mulch leaves.

It depends if the pine needles are dry or matted. If they are heavy I would say no. This is not a powerful blower. It's adequate for clearing sidewalks of grass clippings. Not much more.

No. It will cut a groove about two inches away from the fence line and leave the grass between pickets uncut. I think that only a string trimmer will do your fence justice.

It works well enough, but it is not a universal answer for large lawns. We use it for only trimming grass growing under a picket fence, and it does a good job.

I posted just last year. For the yard I have it works pretty well. Hedge trimmings and leaves. I like it because it is easy to use and I didn't expect it to be like a gas shredder. I have had a bigger gas shredder so I knew about what I needed for this yard.

Does great on grass. As long the grass is of regular height, there are no issues.

I've used my McLane edger many many times for cutting through the grass outline or sides of flower beds and even to cut sides of trenches for laying irrigation lines. Makes it much easier to come back with a shovel and dig between lines, and not have to cut through grass.

yes but the stripping isnt as good as it is in grass. I don't think it messes up the mower
