The mower deck on my BX is not projecting the grass. It is just leaving a row of clumps. I also have a bagger, and when I put it on, it immediately clogs in the boot. The grass is not wet or high. Any idea what could be going on?

There's a clog in your bagger tubing somewhere downstream from the boot on the mower deck. Start at the back of the bagger, put your arm up the outlet and see if you can feel any sticks blocking it. If not, take the hose from the blower to the bagger loose, look inside. If nothing's there, take the whole tubing from the mower deck to the blower off, shake it all out, make sure there's no sticks or anything blocking that. It doesn't take a very large stick to block up the bagger on my B.

Btw, also, the stock blades on kubota decks dont work well with the bagger, you got to get some high lift blades.

Yes a lot more specifics will help us out, like bagger model, deck model, and tractor model.

Have you checked the deck for built-up grass? Over-greasing? Is there possibly grease coming out around the spindles on the underside, caking dirt and debris, changing the flow?
