42 in. Twin Bagger for 100 Series Tractors

For the longest time i had the original mulch blades on and every so often id have to stop the unit and clear the shoot so now its been a year and i put the new bagger blades on which help lift well omg what a difference on pick up i use to see things not pick up now it gets everything the design on these blades are amazing Super happy!!!!!

Product is functional and well built. Assembly is fairly simple; however the lower chute is very rigid and requires a bit of effort to set into place. I liked the one-piece chute design of my old JD bagger better.

I highly recommend this bagging unit. The assembly instructions are clear and concise and with minimal tools it went together easily. This bagger is much more streamlined than baggers for other machines AND it was designed for use on the John Deere 100 series mowers. The reason I state this is it appears other manufacturers have a universal fitting mounting system which is bulky which is made to be adapted to other machines. I am using this on my JD E120 mower with 42” cutting deck. This bagger comes with high lift blades which work fantastically! Other brands do not supply an additional set of blades at nearly the same purchase price. The unit is a quality product, especially the bag frames which are made of metal. Other manufacturers use a plastic ring to support the bags. Again, this product is a quality designed and built product which I highly recommend!

Very easy to install on mower.

Easy install. Great product. Works well. Only clogs when grass or leaves are wet. Then all you do is free the debris and keep on keeping on.

Does a great job without the 'hi-lift' blades...will install them later....only problem I had was figuring out how/where to put the 'screen' with the three wire ties...illustrations in manual are useless...I just dont see anything remotely like that so,firey place,I just left it off...whats it supposed to do anyways?...screen my lawn clippings for rodent parts etc?....:>)

This bagger has been FANTASTIC! We have used it to get the leaves up in our yard, .33 acre, 4 times now. It has done a wonderful job.

I have never used a bagger on a lawnmower before, so have nothing to compare it to. I think this one is great. It fit perfectly onto my JD D130. I installed the mulch blade that came with it. It takes me longer to mow grass now, only because I have to keep driving back to the compost bins to empty the bags. They fill up fast. The only thing is that sometimes one bag fills up faster than the other, and there is only one notch on the shoot to adjust it. It was great in the spring to pick up dead leaves, and now green grass clippings. The easiest way to tell when the bags are full is to reach back and feel them. The only time the shoot would clog up is when the bags were full. A clogged shoot is easy to clear. I like this bagger. I am just starting a tree nursery and needed to start making my own compost. I have included photos.

I recently purchased my first John Deere tractor (D105) after my 14 year old Craftsman tractor died. I decided to go with JD because my neighbor allowed me to use his when I had problems with my old tractor. I've been pleased with how the tractor performs, but I knew I had to spend the money for all the accessories that I relied on with my previous tractor (leaf bagger, weights, chains, snow thrower, etc.) I am SINCERELY hoping that the Twin Bagger performs well since the installation instructions were possibly the worst that I have ever encountered from a major manufacturer. I'm expecting delivery on a snow thrower, canopy, chains, weights and I'm extremely anxious if the installation instructions are comparable to what JD provided for the Twin Bagger. I'm 62 years old... I actually constructed my own house over 25 years ago. I've assembled tons of products, but I can't remember ever seeing any installation instructions that are as poor as the ones I received with this Twin Bagger...

I bought the lawn tractor and the twin bagger last fall. I had a JD dealer assemble and install the bagger. This summer I realized I am missing one of the Hopper top brackets. Because of this, the top does not stay open and closed on your arms when you reach in to push the grass from one hopper to the other. I have to do this because the chute only throws the grass in to the hopper furthest away from the chute. The overall design and construction of the bagger is substandard. I wish I still had my 20+ year old Troy Bilt!! In the meantime, John Deere does not offer the hopper top bracket at their parts website. If I could get a good deal, I'd sell JD and go back to Troy Bilt. Not what I expected from JD.
