8TEN TURFBUCKET Twin Bagger System for Cub Cadet RZT Troy Bilt Mustang XP 42 50 Inch Zero Turn 2007-2015

What It Is

The 8TEN TURFBUCKET Twin Bagger System is an aftermarket grass collection system designed for 42-inch and 50-inch zero-turn mowers from Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, and MTD brands, specifically for RZT and Mustang XP models built between 2007 and 2015. It collects clippings into two rear-mounted bags, eliminating the need to rake or mulch.

Fitment & Compatibility

Check these before buying:

• Deck size: Fits 42-inch and 50-inch decks only. Measure your deck width (cutting swath) to confirm.
• Model years: 2007–2015 for Cub Cadet RZT (all sub-models like RZT 42, RZT 50) and Troy-Bilt Mustang XP (42 or 50). Does not fit newer RZT S or RZT L series.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This replaces OEM bagger systems (e.g., Cub Cadet 190-369-100 or 190-369-200). It is not a direct OEM part, so check mounting brackets and hardware compatibility.
• Required measurements: Ensure your mower has a rear hitch bracket or the ability to mount one (some older RZTs may lack this). The system uses a universal frame, but verify the discharge chute aligns with your deck’s side-discharge opening.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Built from heavy-duty steel and UV-resistant fabric bags. Users report it’s comparable to OEM in durability, but the mounting hardware may require minor adjustments (drilling or shimming) for a perfect fit on some decks.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Expect 1–2 hours if you’re handy with tools. The frame bolts to the mower’s rear frame; you’ll need to remove the existing discharge deflector and install the included chute. Not a plug-and-play for all models.
• Common gotchas: The bags hold about 6–7 bushels total, so they fill quickly on tall or wet grass. Also, the system adds weight to the rear, which can affect steering balance—check tire pressure to compensate.
• Fitment note: Some 2014–2015 RZT models have a different rear frame design; verify your mower has two rear frame holes (1/2-inch diameter) spaced 8 inches apart for the bracket.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a 2007–2015 Cub Cadet RZT or Troy-Bilt Mustang XP with a 42- or 50-inch deck and want a cost-effective alternative to OEM baggers. It’s a solid choice for homeowners with moderate mechanical skills who don’t mind a bit of tinkering for installation. Skip it if you expect perfect bolt-on fitment or need a larger capacity for oversized lawns.
