CUB CADET 964-0221 Grass Catcher Bag 42 50 Rear Double Bagger 861 847 678 670

What It Is

This is a replacement grass catcher bag for Cub Cadet rear bagger systems, designed to fit 42-inch and 50-inch deck models. It collects clippings during mowing and works with compatible twin-bag setups on select Cub Cadet lawn tractors.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your mower’s deck size (42 or 50 inches) and that it uses a rear double bagger system. This bag fits Cub Cadet models 861, 847, 678, and 670, and replaces OEM part 964-0221. It is an aftermarket alternative, not genuine Cub Cadet, so check that your bagger frame and mounting brackets match the bag’s attachment points. Measure the bag’s dimensions (roughly 24 x 18 x 12 inches) to confirm it fits your existing bagger hopper. Not compatible with side-discharge or mulching-only mowers.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Made of durable fabric with a plastic frame, but some users report seams may fray faster than OEM bags under heavy use.
• Installation: Easy – slides onto the bagger frame and secures with a latch or strap. No tools needed.
• Common gotcha: The bag may be slightly smaller than OEM, reducing capacity. Check if your bagger uses a different latch style (some older models require a different bag design).
• Maintenance: Empty clippings after each use to prevent mold and fabric degradation. Hand wash and air dry.

Should You Buy It

If you own one of the listed Cub Cadet models with a 42 or 50-inch deck and need a budget-friendly replacement for a worn OEM bag, this is a solid choice. However, if you mow very wet or heavy grass, the lower capacity and slightly less durable build might frustrate you – consider spending more on an OEM bag for tougher conditions.
