When the last blue gray bag sells I will not make anymore of blue gray color until I sell out of the white off white color bags.

I
do not get very many people that take the time to tell me how happy
they are with this bag. I got this message today and replied back below

Hi Fred,
I just wanted to send a note to let you
know how very pleased I am with the new bag. It has surpassed my expectations!
Your skill and design have made a truly excellent replacement bag. The zipper on
this bag and the materials chosen to create it are well above industry
standards! Keep up the great work. You have delivered exceptional
value.
Best wishes to you and your family,
Mike Moseley

I just
wanted to let you know how much I am pleased with my purchase of the
above items off of the E-bay site! My 5hp engine is still good BUT I was
having trouble getting a bag and a rake-in tray for it. The bag’s cinch
strap and zipper went kaput! My rake-in tray died when we accidentally
had it lower to the ground than it needed to be. The
rake-in tray is brand new as promised. The custom made bag blew me
away…very professional and high quality! Again, I sure appreciate you
(and your wife for suggesting it) custom making these bags and having
available other attachments. Stay safe and well during this pandemic!
Sincerely, Sebrina J D Paducah, KY

It is not often someone takes the time to tell me how happy they are. Thank you.
I have beat the hell out of my two prototype bags. So I do use this bag also.
What I love about it the most is I can see through it to tell how full it is
when doing leafs or wood chipping.

This
is a new improved bag from my first heavy duty bag I was making and
selling here a few years ago. Using feedback from customers I made some
changes. I have had a few customers try these bags for me first on there
machines then I have used these bag on my own machines last fall.
My customers and I feel it works great. The first change was to the
material. I am using a much more breathable material on the sides of the
bag. As you can see in some of the pictures you can see through the
material from the outside. This does make it a little more dusty. One of
the 3 customers that tried it said it was more dusty. I think about the
same as a new bag from Troy Bilt did. But this was a requested change
from many of my customers. It is a little bigger than the original so it
will fill up more If you look at my pictures you can see some of
the pictures you will see through the gray and white mesh fabric. The
fabric I buy is commercial grade polyester coated mesh fabric The fabric
is seconds so there is some minor defects that will not effect its
performance in any way. It saves about $10.00 on the cost of a bag. If
you feel you need one with out any defects like the defects you see in
the pictures send me a question and I will try to find one with out the
defects for you. I also was told they wanted the elastic a little less
tight to put on. So I replaced the shock cord with a little smaller cord
and cut it a little longer. You may find a little dirt on these bags
because I fit test every bag on my own machine before I ship them to
you. Everything below was from my listings a few years ago.
eBay
said I must be clear in the tittle that this is a REPLACEMENT part made
to FIT a Troy Bilt chipper vac and is NOT a OEM part from the
manufacturer of the chipper vac.

I MADE THIS BAG A LITTLE LARGER THAN THE ORIGINAL (Troy Bilt part # 1901482 ) It is made from COMMERCIAL GRADE MATERIAL. My bags are made from the blue gray and 2 lite gray colors COMMERCIAL FABRIC using all new materials with a MUCH
LARGER nylon zipper with 2 METAL zipper pulls. (see picture of my
zipper pulls next to the zipper in the old Troy Bilt bag) I have a picture of my 1 Troy Bilt chipper vacs 1 with the new bag on (1993 5HP model# 47279) as MODELS ONLY TO SHOW THE FIT AND MACHINE TYPE IT FITS (THE MACHINES ARE NOT FOR SALE) ONLY THE NEW BAG.

ABOUT
ME I was a upholster by trade. Now more of a hobby. You may have seen
or bought the black bags from me in the past. I will still sell them to
the people that do not want to spend the extra money for this heavy duty
bag. Every one of these heavy duty bags is
cut by me and the sewing is done by me I also fit test every bag . So
you may find a leaf or 2 in your new bag. Now you will know why. If you
see something I can improve on let me know. I have heard from a lot of
people that bought the black bags that they wanted a more heavy duty
zipper. WELL HERE IT IS. Then the next thing they wanted was a bag that
will LAST LONGER. Then this is that bag you always wanted. You will
NOT be disappointed. The fabric is so strong you can make a cut in the
fabric then just try to tear it. Good luck.. I really did not think
there would be a market for these higher price bags but my wife talked
me into making some and listing them. I sold the first one 3 hours
later. Then the second one almost 4 hours after the first. My wife is
starting to rub it in. Only time will tell 45 bags total sold as of
11-27-07. I cut no corners when making these bags. I will let my
feedbacks speak for my bags.
