Honda 81320-VE1-T00 Fabric Grass Bag

What It Is

This is a genuine Honda OEM fabric grass bag (part #81320-VE1-T00) designed for select Honda HRX series walk-behind mowers. It replaces the standard bag to collect clippings during mulching or bagging operation.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Fits Honda HRX217 models with the “Versamow” system (e.g., HRX217HYA, HRX217HZA, HRX217VKA, HRX217TDA). Not compatible with HRR or older HR models.
• Check deck size: Works with 21-inch cutting decks only.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a factory Honda part—exact fit, no modifications needed. Aftermarket bags (e.g., Oregon, Rotary) may be cheaper but often have looser fit or weaker material.
• Measurements: Bag dimensions are roughly 24" x 12" x 10"; ensure your mower’s bagger mounting frame is intact and not bent.
• Quick check: Look at your mower’s model number (on deck or under seat). If it ends in “V” (e.g., HRX217VKA), this bag is compatible.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Very easy—slides onto the mower’s rear bagger mount and clips into place. No tools required.
• Quality: Heavy-duty fabric with a rigid plastic frame. Holds up well to regular use, but avoid overfilling with wet grass (causes sagging and strain on the frame).
• Common gotcha: The bag’s plastic latch hooks can snap if forced on incorrectly. Always align the bag’s mounting tabs with the mower’s hooks before pushing down.
• Capacity: Holds about 2.0 bushels (roughly 60 lbs of dry clippings). Smaller than some aftermarket bags but balances well on the mower.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you own a compatible HRX217 model and want a reliable, drop-in replacement that matches the original quality and fit. It’s pricier than aftermarket options, but you avoid fitment headaches and get Honda’s durability. Skip it if you have an older HRR mower or need a larger-capacity bag—aftermarket brands offer bigger sizes for less.
