8TEN TURFBUCKET Grass Twin Bagger System for Toro TimeCutter 6000 60 Inch FAB Deck Zero Turn

What It Is

The 8TEN TURFBUCKET Grass Twin Bagger System is an aftermarket twin-bag grass collection system designed for Toro TimeCutter 6000 zero-turn mowers with a 60-inch fabricated (FAB) deck. It replaces the OEM bagger, allowing you to collect clippings instead of side-discharging or mulching.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Exact models: Fits Toro TimeCutter 6000 series with a 60-inch FAB deck (models 74760, 74761, 74764, 74765, and similar). Confirm your deck is the fabricated version—stamped decks use a different mounting system.
• Deck measurement: Measure your deck width edge-to-edge. If it’s exactly 60 inches and fabricated (welded, not pressed), this should fit. Measure the distance from the deck discharge opening to the rear hitch plate to ensure the chute reaches.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket part. It will not use OEM Toro brackets or hoses. Check that your mower has the rear hitch plate (some 6000 models don’t come with one pre-installed). You may need to buy Toro hitch kit 131-5719 separately.
• Bag capacity: Two 7-bushel bags (14 bushels total). Confirm your mower’s frame can support the weight when full (approx. 100 lbs).

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need to remove the side-discharge chute and install the bagger’s mounting brackets. Expect 1–2 hours if you’re handy, longer if you’ve never installed a bagger. Instructions are minimal.
• Build quality: Mixed reports. The bags and plastic chute are decent but not as robust as OEM Toro. The rubber seal at the chute-to-deck connection can leak clippings if not perfectly aligned.
• Common gotchas: The chute may not sit flush on some 60-inch FAB decks—check for a gap before tightening. The bags can be difficult to latch/unlatch when full. Some users report the bags don’t fill evenly (one fills faster than the other).
• Performance: Works fine for dry grass on flat lawns. Wet or tall grass will clog the chute quickly. The system is louder than OEM due to less sound-dampening material.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a bagger for your Toro TimeCutter 6000 with a 60-inch FAB deck and want to save roughly $200–$300 over the OEM Toro bagger. It’s a budget-friendly option for homeowners with dry, moderate lawns. Avoid it if you mow wet grass, have a stamped deck, or need a system that just snaps on without tinkering—those users will find the OEM version far less frustrating.
