Bagger Hose- 4 00455400;00697300;01585800;04222900

What It Is

This is a replacement bagger hose designed to connect the mower deck discharge to the grass collection bag on riding lawn mowers. It’s suitable for mid-to-large residential or commercial zero-turn and lawn tractors where a flexible, reinforced hose is needed for grass clippings.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower’s brand and model. This hose (OEM part numbers 00455400, 00697300, 01585800, 04222900) fits specific Cub Cadet and MTD models with 42–54 inch decks, particularly those using a “bagger hose” routing. Measure the hose length (approx. 4 ft) and diameter (typically 6–7 inches) against your existing hose—replacements must match the discharge opening and bagger inlet. Check your mower’s manual for the OEM part number; cross-reference with the numbers listed. Not universal—will not fit most John Deere, Toro, or Husqvarna without adapter kits.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Users report the hose is durable but may be stiff in cold weather, making installation tricky. Inspect for any molding defects before mounting.
• Installation: Moderate difficulty—you’ll need to detach the old hose, clean the discharge chute, and secure with provided clamps. Expect 15–30 minutes.
• Common gotchas: The hose may not align perfectly if your deck has a non-standard discharge chute angle. Some users needed to trim the hose length or use additional zip ties for a tight seal.
• Price vs. value: At $125.95, it’s pricier than generic hoses. Only buy if you need the exact OEM fit—otherwise, an aftermarket hose (e.g., 6”x4’ flexible) may work for half the cost.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a compatible Cub Cadet or MTD zero-turn or lawn tractor and want a direct, no-hassle replacement that matches factory specs. Skip it if you have a different brand or can measure/adapt a generic hose—saving money with a universal option is often fine for non-OEM baggers.
