Advanced Chute System: Chute Blocker - (ACS6000ULS)

Easy installation. Works very well. Does leave a small trail of debris if there are lots of leaves and grass. I am still satisfied and would recommend.

I decided to write this review because of the many questions being asked if it will fit "insert your mower here". Yes it will fit. Will it be a direct bolt-on fit? NO. Do not expect to open the instructions and see 'Step 1: insert bolt A into hole A1. Step 2: insert Johnson rod into bolt extender opening and tighten.' You know what I am trying to say. But seriously, the ACS is an aftermarket part that is meant to fit many, many different models. They have, I believe, two different models - that's it! There's no way it is going to be a direct fit, step-by-step install. That doesn't mean it will not fit. For the ACS to "fit" your mower's deck just select the appropriate model and know that you will have to do some work on your end. For instance, I had to drill 3 holes and grind down a mount on my mower's deck for the ACS to fit. But it did fit nonetheless. They include all the hardware needed especially the spacers. The spacers, to me, are what make the ACS universal. Think about it. The ACS is just a piece of metal used to block the chute on your mower. In theory, it could be removed from the box, drill holes for the bolts, and then bolted down. You're done, yeah! But those spacers really make it more customized to your specific mower. Which, by the way, ended up taking the most time when I did my install. The many spacers come in several different sizes and will probably need to be combined in order to fit your deck. If the ACS sits too high then clippings will fly from underneath. If it sits too low then it will dig into the ground. Once you find your correct height then the install is fairly straightforward. Mark your holes, drill the holes if you're not lucky enough to have any line up, then bolt the ACS on to your mower. It truly is that easy. My shop wanted $199 just for the install. Nope! I will keep that money myself thank you. So, will it fit your mower? YES. Will it be an easy, step-by-step install specifically for my mower? NO Is it something I can do myself on a Saturday morning and be mowing by Saturday night? YES Is it something I should by? Well, if you are reading the reviews then you must have some interest in the ACS. Ask yourself what your expectations are for the ACS. For me, I wanted something that could block my chute so clippings would not fly where I did not want them to fly. ACS accomplishes this. I wanted something that I could operate easily, from my seat, and was convenient to do so. The ACS accomplishes this. I wanted something that would be strong enough to handle what I could throw at it - dependable. The ACS accomplished this. Basically, I want a piece of metal that is easy to use and all it needs to do is stop clippings from coming out. That's it. And it does all this very well.

I love this thing. I should have installed it years ago. I installed it on my Husqvarna PZT6126 commercial mower, super easy install. Drill 2 holes and bolt on, easy. Works perfect. Easy to flip up and down, stays where you put it and blocks the grass clippings from blowing all in my planting beds and driveway.

Very durable attachment. Have seen many installed when I worked as a lawn and garden tech. So I decided to install one and only issue I had was the vague instructions. Had to use videos online to complete installation.

This came with NO instructions! Very difficult to install. Not easy to get lined up to mark where to drill the holes. Took approximately 4 hours to put it on. Didn't get holes lined up correctly and had to redrill. A template of some kind would have been great. It's on but there's a gap at the back, hopefully it works as it should!

We purchased a Grass Chute brand blocker but decided to put one on another mower, and thought we would try a different brand just to see. This product seems sturdy and durable. While out other one is foot operated, this particular one in manual hand operated. If that doesn't bother you, it is a good unit. We installed it on a Gravely Pro Turn.

Works as designed. Directions are useless. Took an hr to install by myself. Handle is not super easy to pull back and I gotta stretch to reach it and I'm 6ft tall

A must have for mowing residential lawns
