20" Tru-Cut Grass Catcher

Hello Lawn Forum,

Anyone have a used 20" Tru-Cut grass catcher? I bought my Tru-Cut used and the previous owner didn't have a grass clippings catcher. I mainly mulch it back into the grass, but as we are warming up and my grass is thriving, I want to make sure I'm not making a mess on my neighbors yard when mowing in that direction.

Reel Rollers have been awesome in posting this to their site - https://reelrollers.com/product/poly-basket-20-tc-reg/

I'm just looking at options before paying $200 for a basket.

Thanks

For $200? I couldn't justify ...even Lee there agrees, all of the legacy homeowner baskets suck. Half makes it in, rest no chance ....1/4 full then it will start falling out
Jayhawk, just got an h20 and catcher and your post would be funny if it wasn't so true. What's with this?? Is there a known hack to make the catcher more effective? If I run the machine less than full throttle it seems slightly better but still not great. What a disappointment!

I've considered clamping some cardboard to the top of the catcher and extending it over the reel to avoid any clippings from flying above and out. However, as mentioned above the bigger issue is the capacity of the catcher by way of crap design. I constantly have to stop and shovel the clippings to the far end to keep going else they feed back into the running reel.
