8TEN TURFBUCKET Twin Bagger System for Cub Cadet RZT S/L Troy Bilt 50 & 54 Inch Zero Turn

What It Is

The 8TEN TURFBUCKET Twin Bagger System is an aftermarket grass collection attachment designed for Cub Cadet RZT S/L and Troy-Bilt zero-turn mowers with 50- or 54-inch decks. It uses a dual-bag setup to catch clippings during mulching or side-discharge mowing.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify these three things:

• Deck size: Fits only 50-inch and 54-inch decks. Measure your deck width to confirm.
• Model compatibility: Works with Cub Cadet RZT S (e.g., RZT 50, RZT 54) and RZT L series, plus Troy-Bilt models like TB30R or TB50. Check your mower’s model number (on the frame or under the seat) against 8TEN’s list—some older RZT variants may not match.
• Mounting hardware: The system uses a universal bracket kit but may require drilling or adapter plates for non-standard mower frames. Confirm your mower has pre-drilled hitch holes or that you’re comfortable modifying the chassis.

Key Things to Know

• Build quality: At $560, it’s cheaper than OEM (usually $700+), but reviews note thinner plastic and less durable bag frames. Expect 2–3 seasons of heavy use before wear.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate to hard—takes 1–2 hours. You’ll need a drill, socket set, and possibly a helper to align the chute. Instructions are basic; watch online install videos for your specific mower.
• Common gotchas: The bags may not seal tightly, causing clippings to blow out around the chute. Also, the system adds weight—check your mower’s lift capacity (most handle it, but wet grass can bog down the engine).
• No OEM warranty: 8TEN offers a 1-year limited warranty, but Cub Cadet won’t cover damage from aftermarket accessories.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a budget twin-bagger and are willing to invest some sweat in setup and occasional tweaks for fit. Skip it if you want a hassle-free, long-term solution—spend more on OEM Cub Cadet or Troy-Bilt baggers for better fit and durability.
