Equip my 1541 with a grass catcher: does it function well for sucking leaves?

[rahilhorst]

I have a CC 1541 (2 cylinder, 15HP) and want to attach a CC double or triple bagger on the back side, in fact not for collecting grass but for using it to collect the leaves from some huge trees, its getting autums and wet...
My 44" mowing deck has its exhaust at the right side, do the 3 blades have sufficent power to blow the wet leaves through the 7" tube into the bagger..?

Would be very glad to hear your experiences! Thanks in advance.

If you want a bagger, you need a 46GT deck.

Mabey you've thought of this but if you cover the discharge and use gator blades to turn that deck into a mulching deck. It will turn those leaves into dust. just a thought.

I have a bagger on a tractor here and I find the chute will plug up if the grass is wet. So I don`t think wet leaves would work any better ,it would just plug up every five minutes

It was my experience that the bagger would not work with wet leaves and small sticks in the leaves. It kept clogging up. So i sold it and got a big back pack blower.
