How To Install A 42" / 46" Double Bagger On Your Cub Cadet XT1 / XT2 

That was SUPER helpful….the instructions that came with mine were junk. Just FYI for other folks….I bought an aftermarket version of this from a company called MTD for about $350. It’s identical to the Cub Cadet version and this video helped me have it installed in about 20 mins.

when it started, i thought come on dude, come on dude, come on dude. after listening for a few minutes i was hooked. a great step by step video thank you.

this was amazing sir, thank you. The other videos are pretty much guys reading the instructions in front of you and doing it which isn't helpful. You are the man, sir.

I’m so glad I found this video. I almost ordered this bagger from the dealership where I purchased my mower & planned to pay them to install! I’m elderly & thought installation would be above my skill level. I’m not afraid to try it after watching the video. I also know now the bags won’t be difficult to get out! Thank you.

Thank you for doing this. I am a visual learner and you just saved a single mom of two, put this monster together.

This was a very nicely done instruction video. Thank you for taking the time to make this. Cub Cadet and other manufacturers could take a lesson from your thorough and instructive video.

OUTSTANDING and VERY INFORMATIVE video. The fact that you pretty much installed most of this unit using only one hand, gives me hope. I just purchased my first brand new Cub Cadet XT2•LX42. Was hesitant on whether or not to purchase the bagger. I only have one arm, and was concerned about the installation of a bagger. You made it look eazy enough, where I may only have to bug my wife for a few seconds of help, lol. Thank you so much for this video. 🤘🏻🚜🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱🚜🤘🏻

Thanks for making this, this is hands down 100 times better than deciphering the assembly instructions! I subscribed!

I was hesitant at first but when watched and rewatched it could not have been done better and appreciated the honest no bs woking comments thumbs up

That was one of the best instructional videos I have seen done on you. Very informative, no unnecessary talking just straight forward information. Great Job !!!

I used your video for a reference today when I was putting my bagger together. It was helpful to make sure I was doing it correctly and had no problems. Thanks for making this video!

Awesome video. I lost my paperwork on the unit and had no idea how to install it. Naturally I took to RU-vid to find a video. I was really happy I found this as it showed it step by step and I was able to easily follow along. Great job 👏 👍

After reviewing three videos including Cub Cadet's installation, I was able to finally install my bagger. Thank you for the plain and simple directions for installing the Cub Cadet bagger. You increased my excitement for purchasing this tool. You explained the installation like I was a 3rd grader, which in my case, I was able to follow directions. Shame on you Cub Cadet for making your instructions so complicated, your directions could and should be as simple as MrV2u's directions!

Thanks for the video. My assembly instructions got wet and were unusable. Your video made it a breeze.

#cubcadet pay this man !!! Cubcadet manual it terrible black and white impossible to read. Thanks to your video it took me 15 min to put it together. Thank you Sir !

Thank you so much. It was very helpful and much better then the instructions that came with it. 😊

With the small font and worthless manual instruction and three missing wing nuts, I thought it would take me hours to install. But I ordered the wing nuts to save time and put it off a couple days. After watching your video, it took me maybe 20 minutes. Thanks!

This is a really good video. Practical, succinct, and you're clearly not a "fan-boy", which I really appreciate.

Excellent instructions. I hope this will help me correct the installation that was done upon purchase of the tractor. The grass will not go up the chute. Cub cadet should include this video on disc with instruction manual. Great job!

Excellent video. My bagger was installed by the tractor company, but has never worked properly, it constantly clogs up near the bottom. This video gave me enough information to fix it on my own. Thanks so much!

Awesome video. I got my bagger a couple weeks ago and using this vid, had it set up without even reading the assembly manual. One thing they may have changed recently is that the kit now comes with two carriage bolts for the leaf bag bracket (the piece shown starting around the 8 minute mark) so you can now use those upper two holes to secure it (seen around 08:50). I also ended up silicone caulking that top sight window into place to stop it spraying tiny bits of crud out around the edges. Thanks again for the instructions!

Thanks for making my new machine parts easy to install. The easiest way to know when to empty the bags is to lean back and tap your right hand on the bag

Definitely one of the best “how to” videos I have ever seen. Thank you! 😀

Great job with the assembly instructions. Between the manual and your instructions, putting this bagger system together was a snap. Thank you.

Just purchased a dual bagger system and very grateful for the video. Will have installed soon.

You've done a great job of explaining how this goes on the first time. You've done a great job here!

This video made it so easy to install the bagger system onto my Cub Cadet!! Thank you!!

Super helpful video! Walked me thru the entire install and didn't need the manual at all.

Thanks 👍🏻 This video was a huge help! I just got a bagger and used this video to breeze through installation

Great video. Didn’t know where to start, this video made the assembly EZ.

You’re the man. The video made the install much easier.

Even though I normally mulch, Cub Cadet has a poor mulching kit. The plug always clogs up with grass, you will continually be bombarded with grass clippings the entire time. I highly recommend saving your money on the mulch kit and go for the bagger. My first time using it was awesome. No more clippings every where and picks up leaves like a champ. Fall time will be a breeze this year for me. If you previously installed a mulch kit (plug and blades) you will have to reinstall the high lift blades that came with the tractor originally. I used the mulch blades with the bagger and they did thee job, but not the way it should. It lacked in suction power for pine needles and pine cones. I will reinstall the lift blades and update this post. Let me know your thoughts fellas!

AWESOME video! I forgot my instructions at the cabin. I found this video today and it was great 👍

Excellent step by step. For some reason the instructions seemed like greek to me when I first reviewed them. I took the grass deflector off and haven't had any issues with grass getting through that little gap, that I've noticed anyway.

Same setup on my Troybilt! Thank you for the easy to follow step by step instructions!

Great video. Instructions that came with it are terrible. Yours was great! Very good detail. Thank you. I have a 42” deck and I had to use the B position and middle hole when putting the top bag holder in and it did come with two bolts now. Bought it 5/1/21

Thank you for your straight forward descriptions of this installation. I started with another installation video but realized it must have been an older version o& the bagger. You helped me immensely. Thanks.

Nicely done! I could not have done it without your video. The instructions were good but lnot like your video. Thanks again!

Awesome video, thank you for taking ur time and being thorough, very detailed which is hard to find now-a-days, Cheers from Northern B.C. Canada

Great video, just got that mower, and waiting for the bagger to arrive. Gotta get the leaves up at my new place. I think after watching this video twice I don't need the printed instructions. 👍

Your direction/instructions were perfect! Very detailed and easy to follow along. Thank you!

Hey man thank you! This helped me 100% for my install on my 46”

100% helpful. Very thorough, much appreciated!

Great video on installing bagger. Thanks

Exactly the same as my Rover Rancher 547/42, made by MDT in Australia. Sold to me in Thailand.. MDT owns Cub Cadet also.

Mine didn’t come with assembly instructions so this video saved me!!! Thank you!

Could not have assembled this with just the manual.. Thank you , very good presentation 🙏 🙏 🙏

Great Job, very straight forward and right down to business.

Thanks very much! U were helpful beyond measure.

Great video. Need a tripod but I do enjoy the "kinda hard to do one handed but it is what it is" haha so I'm conflicted haha

Best instructional video I’ve seen. Nice!

This is going to help me out alot bc i get my bagger system on Saturday from the dealership

Perfect Directions. Thanks man!

Thanks bro.. got mine on tonight with your video.. appreciate you

Thanks for making this video, this really helps a lot. Great explanation 👌

Best instruction ever!! Thank you!!

Thank you so much! You did a fabulous job explaining everything 👍

Excellent video! I subscribed! Thank you...

This was so helpful -- thank you for being so thorough!

Even with high-lift blades, mine clogs all the time. Constantly. And when it does actually work, I get one or two passes down my lawn before I have to empty the thing. It needs to be a lot bigger, this thing doubles the time it takes to do my yard.

I'll be watch this excellent video when I assemble the unit!!

Thank you! This video was very informative & helpful. I’m about to go assemble mine right now!

Thank you. Video was very helpful.

Thank you for making it easy

Thank you for taking the time to do this… you helped me a lot my brother

Excellent tutorial.

Thank you. This was perfect.

Thanks for the video i got my bagger done

Excellent video my brother... the directions that come with this bagger are trash. Thank you for your help, your directions made this a 30 minute project.

Excellent tutorial Thank You!!!👍

Awesome job !!!! I wonder if my wife will let me vacuum the house with my rider now that it sucks and bags so gooder !!!!

You did great job in explaining how to do it. Thank you. I wanted to see how you run it cutting grass.

Thank you, sir. So helpful!!

very nicely explained..I bought this item home depot, mayagüez, puerto rico..two months ago, priced at $475, 11.5 tax included... been very sick, COVID..fully vaxed.. opened box..all ok.. my only complaint is that whole item seems to me that on behalf of manufacturer, little effort was made to produce a quality, sturdy item..looks very *cheaply* made, BUT priced high to customers..

WOW, you paid $370 and now it's $461. Everyone is ripping us off. Thanks for the video.

Great Video, love the details, surely helped! Impressive that you did it all one handed as well. lol.

Excellent instructional video. Thank you!

Excellent video - thank you!

Great video, helped me install now problem

This video is very well done and answered a lot of my questions. Thank you for making sure that we could actually see what you were doing.

Thanks, I just got my mower and bagging system. This is way easier than these instructions.

You did a professional job on your video and your commentary was right on and easy to understand. You have a special talent in instructional description. Keep up the good work for us all! I am a new subscriber… Thanks Man!

Thanks for helping me out 😎

great clip. so easy. thank you!!

This video is perfect, thanks so much for making it!

Thank you for the tutorial, you helped me a lot.

Thanks so much, this made it all so easy!

Nice job on this video.

Great video! Thanks so much.

Very helpful. Thank you!

More helpful than the instructions

Thanks for the video! I looking at a new Cub xt3 tractor with the new style bagger system. I have the 50"older style black chute triple bagger and it clogs up really easily.. hoping this new style works much better!

That's cool, i just bought the 42" version. Same one i think.

Very helpful. Everything perfect. My only issue and I am still working on it the hose assembly. Can't seem to get the hose on the boot. Also, I have a 42 inch and it seems like the hose is too long. I will continue to try. Thanks for the video

Thanks for assistance. Going to attempt it after work. Subscribed

Thank you bro!!!!! Helped me tremendously!!!!!! 😁👍🏽

Beautiful video❤❤❤❤❤

Cub Cadet told me you cannot use it to collect leaves. Yep, they actually told me that when I complained about the mower blowing the leaves and grass out the front of the deck on both sides, (but mostly on the right) whether we used the regular blades or mulching blades. Their suggestion was to drop the deck to lowest setting and mow that way. So scalp your lawn and ruin it, or drive over and over and over the same area numerous times to collect the leaves. And why in the world would you need to collect the grass. The environmentally correct thing to do is mulch the grass and leave it on the lawn to decompose naturally.

Great video! Thanks for the help. Way easier than the instruction book.

Thanks man so easy to follow
