Husqvarna 400226 Lawn Tractor Bagger Attachment Container (Replaces 532400226) Genuine Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Part

What It Is

The Husqvarna 400226 is a genuine OEM bagger container (replaces 532400226) designed to collect grass clippings and leaves on compatible Husqvarna lawn tractors. It’s the primary collection bin for bagger attachment systems used on residential mowing decks.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Model check: Confirm your tractor model is listed for this bagger system. Common compatible tractors include Husqvarna YTH, TS, and GT series with 42-inch, 46-inch, or 48-inch decks, but not all models. Search your exact model number (e.g., YTH18542) on Husqvarna’s site or your manual.
• Deck size: The container works with bagger attachments designed for specific deck widths—verify your deck size matches the bagger kit’s specs.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is genuine Husqvarna, so it fits factory bagger frames and mounting brackets exactly. Aftermarket containers may differ in latch placement or dimensions.
• Measurements: The container is roughly 18” x 12” x 12” (check your manual for exact capacity). If replacing an old container, compare physical size and mounting points.
• Other parts needed: The container alone won’t work without the bagger frame, chute, and attachment hardware (sold separately if missing).

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Genuine OEM means thicker plastic, better UV resistance, and exact latch alignment vs. cheap aftermarket bins that may crack or warp.
• Installation: Simple—snaps or slides into the bagger frame. No tools required for the container itself, but ensure the frame is properly mounted first.
• Common gotcha: The latch hooks can break if overstressed. Avoid overfilling with wet grass, and don’t force the container on if it doesn’t click smoothly.
• Capacity: Holds about 6-7 bushels. For larger yards, consider a second container or a larger bagger system.

Should You Buy It

If your Husqvarna tractor’s bagger frame is intact and you need a direct-fit replacement for a broken or missing container, this is the right choice. It’s ideal for homeowners who want reliable, hassle-free grass collection without guessing aftermarket fit. Skip it if you’re missing the entire bagger system—you’ll need the full kit instead.
