HONDA (HRX2173HYA) (HRX2173HZA) (HRX2173VKA) (HRX2174HYA) (HRX2174HZA) (HRX2174VKA) (HRX2174VLA) Walk-Behind Lawn Mowers Fabric Grass Catcher Bag

What It Is

This is a genuine Honda fabric grass catcher bag designed for select HRX217x series walk-behind mowers. It replaces the OEM bag for models with the Versamow system, allowing you to collect clippings during normal mowing or when mulching.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower model is one of these: HRX2173HYA, HRX2173HZA, HRX2173VKA, HRX2174HYA, HRX2174HZA, HRX2174VKA, or HRX2174VLA. All use a 21-inch deck. This is a genuine Honda part (OEM), not a universal or aftermarket bag—no modifications needed. Measure your existing bag’s attachment hooks and frame dimensions; this bag matches the factory frame and latch system. It will not fit older HRX217 models (e.g., HRX217K5) or other Honda mower series like HRR or HRS.

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Heavy-duty fabric with reinforced seams and a rigid top frame. Holds up well to regular use, but fabric can tear if overloaded with wet grass or overstuffed.
• Installation: Tool-free—slides onto the existing bag frame and hooks onto the mower’s discharge chute. Takes under a minute.
• Common gotchas: The bag is specific to the Versamow system; if your mower has the optional mulching plug installed, you’ll need to remove it first. The bag’s capacity is about 2 bushels (same as the original). Not compatible with bagger kits for other Honda models.
• Maintenance: Empty after each use to prevent mildew. The fabric can be washed with mild soap and air-dried.

Should You Buy It

If your HRX217x mower’s original bag is worn, torn, or missing, this is the exact replacement—no guesswork. It’s built to Honda’s specs and fits perfectly. For $80.99, it’s a fair price for OEM quality; avoid cheap aftermarket bags that may not latch securely or last as long.
