It was bagging it but two laps around the yard and I was covered head to toe with grass. So last night I cust grass with the z345r with the bagger and to my surprise it was throwing grass all over the place. I cut grass with the z345m twice and it did a wonderful job other that of course leaving all the grass in the yard, which is why I wanted the bagger. I had them install a bagger before I picked it up. So I carried the one back to Home Depot and got the z345r from the AgPro dealer.

I didnt not know the differences in model numbers and I stopped by a JD dealer and saw a z345r.
