What happens here

Corey presents the BonusBagger, a high-capacity leaf collection bag designed to extend the capacity of existing mower side catchers, like the Ballard CatchPro, on zero-turn mowers. An assistant demonstrates its use with a John Deere mower. The BonusBagger provides approximately 35 cubic feet of additional capacity, making it ideal for large-scale leaf removal in the fall. It features durable PVC plastic with wear strips on the bottom to withstand dragging, a clear window to monitor fill levels, and sturdy handles. A smaller 'BonusBagger Junior' is also available for lighter machines.

Goal: Extend mower's leaf collection capacity for efficient fall cleanup.

accessories though that we have not yet seen. >> accessories. So, this is like a portable leaf catcher on steroids. >> Right. So, I'm looking at it right. >> Yeah, so any brand, whether you've got the Ballard Catch Pro, Accelerator, Rack'em, there's a bunch of different side catchers. What we've got here is the Bonus Bagger, and we've got a Bonus Bagger Junior that's a little bit smaller. It just allows you to get extra capacity. This is not for catching grass, it gets too heavy. This is for leaf removal, fall time only. So, it just allows you to get about 35 cubic feet additional capacity in there. So, for guys doing leaf cleanups, as you know, Stan, this thing fills up pretty quick, right? You're doing a leaf cleanup, you're going to fill that thing up, you're going to be dumping it non-stop. So, you can get this. We did launch this last year. We sold a bunch of them. We had a few, just full transparency, we had some zipper issues. We've strengthened it up. We've added some additional support on the bottom and we've also added a smaller size for guys that want something a little bit lighter. Maybe you're putting it on a 32 or a 36-in mower. So, the ventilation's absolutely important. We've got this window here so you can see what your capacity is so you're not always checking it and seeing how full it is. And then on the bottom, we've got the strong PVC plastic and we've also got the wear strips that allow it to drag a little bit. You're not going to You're not going to want to drag this fully loaded or fully filled across concrete for an extended amount of time, but you will cross over a driveway or a sidewalk. Um, but people have been doing this for 35 years. We were wrapping tarps around baggers in the '90s. Um, there's been several companies that have tried to launch products like this and have not been very successful, but um, we did really good with it last year. We've improved it. So, we've got the bonus bagger and then we've got a junior version, like I said, for guys with a little bit smaller machine that don't have quite enough um, velocity to fill it and also for people that, you know, it just It gets heavy enough when it's full of leaves and and you've got to carry maybe dump it in a dumpster. Um, just the other one's 28 cubic feet. So, it just allows you to maybe manhandle it a little bit better.
