I pull a gorilla cart trailer behind the Z6 while im bagging so I can stop and dump the bags into the trailer when they’re full and then fill up the bags again before heading to my dump site. Cuts your dumping trips in half.

Hi, I have this mower and bagger and have cut grass for side job for years. Try this, I seen when u lifted that bagger lid alot of the leaves are almost whole which fills the space quicker. Take the bagger tube off and go over the area a few times and chop those pieces up to thumb nail size bits and then put your bagger on and u said u went 4 times, I bet you would only need maybe 2 if that. Give it a shot, works good for me.

Just makes me all the happier to live out in the mountains. We just let the leaves go back to nature around these hills. By December you'd never know there'd been leaves in the yard.

Good review and, me being an X professor, businessman, TV, radio and author guy married forever, but have lawn care most the year, but looking for doing the leaves, not racking all day, seems a No brainer! However, my crew stops in our 85% heavy tree cover in the north central mountainous Alabama area late December. With not ten or fifteen trees this guy has, but literally thousands going down the mountain about 1,250 feet and we are talking mostly hard woods too! Our forest flanks my home with hard woods in back, and two sides. Thank God I am still staying active between book seven and eight, and I need the exercise with for now the best EGO Self-propelled mowers. Sure ridding may be the thing, but exercise in our wonderful Alabama late fall and winters doing leaves is not a bad deal in temps running from 70 F. to a low of 45 F most late winters and in March the leaves will be gone. They unlike his, will come down for at least three months. I wonder like many, why he did not mulch first and then bag, as to cut down on tub build-up, etc. My front yard is smaller than his, about half an acre, so the EGO, (checked out over 15 self-propelled EV mowers and EGO seems to be overall the best in most cases) will work fine and they just fold up into a neat package like a piece of luggage for easy garage storage. I am not sold on the idea of ever giving up my summer lawn care crew, as I have other things to do in high heat and humidity in any part of southeastern America. I know one thing, his kid is going to be a winner with a strong work ethic, as that father and son bonding looked great to me and my wife of 55 wonderful years.

I put plastic garbage bags in side the bags and that cuts out the dust from the dirt and dry leaves.

The fact that the tube is clear is a game-changer for me! Just sold my Deere with the rear-bagger and can’t tell you how many times I was mowing just to find out the chute was clogged! 🤬 Got my Ego rig coming this week!

They need an in-chute EGO battery powered blade fan (like on leaf vacuumes that you pull behind your tractor) to increase suction down the chute and get all the grass/leaves into the bags. Mine clogs CONSTANTLY even with relatively dry Zorsia grass in my yard. The chute simply doesnt have enough air speed or volume to lift what most people are mowing.

I know I’m really late to the party but you should have mulched it first then vacuumed it up. That way the leafs would be more compressed in the bagger. Also because it’s pre-munched it’s less likely to clog up the tube. Just saying

Very informative video.. probably the best all around I've seen on the EGO. I just bought one and I'm anxious to get mowing with it. 👍

Deacon is a very impressive future mechanic 😊

Delivered a nice even cut, has the super tight turning ability youtube.com/post/Ugkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3… also recommend I was looking for, and is just a blast to drive. It takes a little bit to get used to driving one after driving a normal tractor style, but once you've got it, you've got it. If you're cutting lines, you have to be careful spinning the mower around or the back tire will dig a bare spot. Just take it nice and slow during the turn and then it's back to full throttle across the yard!

I have the same issues with my craftsman , thanks for sharing

Engage the parking brake to stop the beeping when you get off. Did you hold the + button for the blade speed setting to go into the fifth, "turbo" speed? I imagine that would help with wet leaves.

Very helpful to see there are 2 holes in the back that can carry some weight. I want to be able to use an electric mower to haul some horse feed buckets for me, but wasn't sure how to accomplish that with the EGO.

Instead of the $500 for the bagger kit, I just use a regular eGo push mower for bagging, they all come with a bagger (afaik). Then attach a dump trailer to the mower, and empty the collected leaves from the push mower into the trailer. It's what I do. The push mower is a great backup and excellent for quick trim jobs too.

I just mow extra short in the fall. No bagging. The neighbors leafs just blow across the extra short grass leaving my yard mostly clean.

Blades on turbo would be a big help 😉

Why not get a tow behind leaf bagger? They hold a lot more and do a better job id assume

Taking the mower deck and then swapping out the blades look like such a pain. Why don't you get a lawn mower hydraulic lift to lift the mower into the air and then crawl under the mower and swap out the blades?
