Hi All, this is my second post and I have been really learning a lot surfing the forum so thanks to all for their help and advice. The question I have is are there any tips/tricks to removing the bagger. I live in MA and we are finally getting some snow and I find myself constantly worrying about the blower unit on the bagger getting clipped by a tree or my rock wall. I want to remove it, I have the manual and it shows how to assemble and put on the machine but it does not show a suggested way to remove. I am a Union Millwright by trade so I have the mechanical ability to just use brute force and ignorance to get it off but I don't want to do that if I don't have to. Does anyone have any tips for getting it off easily? One thing that has been bugging me about it and I'm not sure how to make it happen is that the legs that come down to remove the bagging unit aren't high enough off the ground to insert the pin for the removal. What am I doing wrong?! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
