8TEN TURFBUCKET Twin Bagger System for Cub Cadet RZT Troy Bilt Mustang Fit 34 Inch Zero Turn 2017-2018

What It Is

The 8TEN TURFBUCKET Twin Bagger System is an aftermarket grass collection attachment designed for 34-inch zero-turn mowers from Cub Cadet (RZT series), Troy-Bilt, and Mustang models manufactured in 2017 and 2018. It replaces the OEM bagger for those specific years and decks, allowing you to collect clippings instead of side-discharging.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Deck size: Only fits 34-inch cutting decks. Measure your deck width before purchasing.
• Model years: Confirmed for 2017–2018 Cub Cadet RZT, Troy-Bilt, and Mustang zero-turn mowers. Earlier or later years may require different mounting brackets.
• Brand note: This is an aftermarket system, not OEM Cub Cadet. It mimics the OEM design but may have slight bracket differences. Check your mower’s deck mounting holes and rear hitch plate for compatibility.
• Measurements: The bagger mounts to the rear of the mower. Ensure your mower has a standard rear hitch (most 2017-2018 34-inch models do). If your deck has a side-discharge only, this bagger requires a chute adapter (included).

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Expect 1–2 hours. You’ll need to remove the mower deck’s discharge chute and install the mounting brackets. Instructions are included but not detailed; check online videos for your specific model.
• Quality: Plastic bags and metal frame are durable for homeowner use, but the bags are thinner than OEM. Avoid overfilling—wet grass can cause tearing.
• Common gotcha: The chute adapter may not seal perfectly on all decks. You might need to trim the rubber edge or add foam tape to prevent clippings from leaking.
• Weight: Full bags are heavy (40–50 lbs). The system adds weight to the rear, which can affect traction on slopes. Counterweights may be needed.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a 2017-2018 34-inch Cub Cadet RZT, Troy-Bilt, or Mustang zero-turn and need an affordable alternative to OEM baggers (which cost $700+). It’s a solid value for homeowners who bag regularly, but don’t expect identical fit or longevity to the factory system. If you have a different model year or deck size, skip it.
