This year, we decided to try something different for leaf removal and bought a John Deere Power Flow bagger for our lawn mower.  They come in 7 and 14 bushel models and we decided on the larger of the two.  So far, it’s done a good job of picking up the leaves and grass clippings and we’re pretty happy with the purchase.

The power flow piece is a fan powered by the mower deck and helps to blow the clippings into the three mesh bags.  To empty the bags, the hopper is hinged and the bags slide out.  There’s even a gauge to show when bagger is getting full.

    We have this mower, too. Our air indicator does not work showing us when the bags are full. Is the little black hose that comes out of the air indicator ATTACHED to the power chute? Our’s is NOT attached. We thought maybe that was the problem.

      Hi Sherri,
      On ours, the little black hose is attached to the handle of the chute for the bagger.

      Good luck!

    Hi Sarah,
    I have a John Deere x540 with a 54″ cutting deck and was considering a buying powerflow bagger. I am in the process of builing a shed for the tractor and was planning on a six foot wide door. How wide is the deck including the powerflower attachment? Sure hope I do not need a seven foot door.

    I enjoy your blog, and you are creating a lovely home.

    Thanks,
    John

      Hi John, A 6 foot door would pretty tight. We measured our 54 inch deck with the powerflow attached and it is right around 70 inches wide. Hope this helps!

    Hi Sarah,
    I have a used six for door, but it sounds like I need a wider door. It only takes one time in a hurry to make the extra expense worth.
    Thanks for your reply,
    John
