Toro 20016 Bag Keeps Failing Off

Posted by turbo3 10 (My Page) on

I have a Toro 22" recycler (model 20016), which I bought used. After a few passes the bag starts to work it's way off and I get a steady stream of grass debris in my face. The bag is less then 1/4 full when this occurs. I was wondering if anyone else has this issue. Seems like a design flaw to me. I have to use a bungy to hold the bag steady. This works but makes emptying it a pain. I wonder if this bag was recalled. If the metal bracket (where it attaches to the bar) had a tab it would solve the problem, but I'm not a welder.

What sometimes helps on these is to grind a notch in the bracket that the bag frame can rest into. Think a lower case g for the frame to hook into. When these get tweaked it doesn't take much to pop out.

Good ideal. I'll give it a shot. Thanks
