Tools and Hardware Reviews of Arnold OEM-190-180 FastAttach Twin Bag Grass Collector
Customer Review: Excellent Bagger, Just As Advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
It did take about an hour to setup, but what lawn mower accessories don't take awhile? The instructions were clear and straight-forward and it's made of high quality plastic/sturdy steel, looks like it'll last many seasons. Be sure to have a set of socket wrenches to help put it on your lawn mower. The instructions appear to be oriented towards an MTD ride-on lawn mower, but since that's what I have, it was fine for me as is. You can call MTD/Yard Machines directly and order an accessory kit for different brackets to fit your machine, if you need it.Customer Review: Excellent attachment BUT!!!!!!!!

This twin rear bagger does an excellent job BUT, I found that the bags can create a bit of a mess when trying to empty them (dust and some grass). I put 30 gallon yard bags into the grass catchers for easier clean-up and emptying of the grass clippings. Other than that this it's an excellent attachment.Customer Review: FastAttach Twin Bag, works great, but hard to assemble

Once it's all put together it's a thing of beauty, but I found the grass chute extremely difficult to attach to the deck. I did get it attached but it was a lot harder than it appeared in the instructions. Would have given it 5 stars, but the difficulty in the chute drops it down a tad.Customer Review: Flimsy, junky, ill-fitting

I ordered the OEM-190-180 Grass catcher for my 2003 Mower. I was sent the newer, supposedly more expensive model -OEM-190-180A. It did NOT fit. My mower's discharge chute is a definite rectangle. The opening of the tube on the catcher chute had one corner molded and shaped in a weird way. It would not could not fit. The person at the Outdoor Store was polite and as helpful as she could be, but insisted that it should fit my mower, and was the same as the older model. She gave me a number for the technicians at the factory. I ended out modifying an old part of my retired Cub Cadet grass catcher. Oh Yeah, when I received the box and opened it, one of the bags was broken - the flimsy top plastic rim. Should have been made of metal. It took 2 weeks to be sent a new one, though the Store was good about it. Overall, the whole thing [except the parts made of metal] was very flimsy and poorly designed. Definitely not worth the $300+ .Customer Review: Good product...but...

I own a 2003 model lawn tractor and the mounting was not as expected. I had to drill all new mounting holes to mount the bag bracket onto the back. What was billed as a "quick attachment" took several hours and included removing both back wheels from the mower. Once I finally got the bagger mounted I was very happy with its performance.
