Husqvarna 42-46 in. 2-Bin Lawn Mower Bagger Review

This video is a review of the bagger I got for my 42 inch Husqvarna riding mower. I purchased the generic branded bagger from Walmart which actually is made by Husqvarna and about $50 cheaper than the name brand one. It is OEM equipment.
The bagger in this video is: www.walmart.co...
Part number: 592865301

We just bought the Husqvarna model at Lowes for $99 on the clearance aisle. It was complete with all the parts to.

I really appreciate your review here. Thank you for taking the time to do this. More so - I have always felt it in my heart of hearts that if someone is reviewing something that is lawn care / tool related and the tools are clean, I have an instant distrust and dislike for the reviewer. Seeing that your product is used, grass clippings and such - makes me feel far more trusting and like "he's not doing this for show, he's actually using this" so thank you SO MUCH for being so damn real, man!

[@mikeclayton2626]

Put leaf bags inside it really helps and to take out.😊

[@JNaimoli]

Thank you. Just an FYI manual wants right bag overlapping left bag. Reverse of way it looks in cideot

[@hobbyhandyman]

Great catch! Thanks for watching.

[@vickib3981]

These bags fill up VERY quickly. After two swipes in the yard, and I have to empty them. Atleast I don't have to rake up thick grass or leaves.

[@BeckVMH]

As of Jan 2023 Walmart online indicates these are "Out of Stock." Is this perhaps a seasonal listing and might come available in the spring?

[@twinsfan31]

I'm having issues with the one bag filling up first (obviously) but it seems to clog and not want to fill up the 2nd bag. Or there's so much force, the grass comes shooting back out where the chute goes into the bagger system.

[@androiduploadsutube]

Can't find one locally. Three bagger too big. My deck is 46"

[@trtledave3079]

Thank you so much! Had been looking for a vid for how to attach this, there were no instructions with mine and I couldn't find anything useful online.

[@hobbyhandyman]

Glad I could help!

[@mdb9920]

The carriage bolts are terrible for the bagger. The threads shred and the bagger will just fall off. Going back to a Deere where the bagger simply hangs onto the frame.

[@jodrukuil1623]

were the predrilled holes threaded? Mine are not.

[@hobbyhandyman]

No I don’t believe so.

[@marcmcginnis8057]

​​@@hobbyhandyman did you get self tapping bolts or did you end up tapping it yourself...mine didn't come with self tappers and my holes aren't tapped either 😬

[@catdude21]

@@hobbyhandymanthe bolts that came with my bagger attachment won’t screw into the predrilled holes. Why might this be? Too big of bolts or something with the holes?

[@josephwalker2180]

Can't tell what model/year tractor you have. Mine is a 2009 YTH2242. Think this will fit on mine? Great video and thanks for posting!

[@castanedadennis8750]

I have a yth2348 wondering if this would fit I'm having trouble finding one for mine

[@forresthickman]

what cover do you use for the whole lawnmower WITH the catcher on it? do you happen to have a link where i could purchase one that would fit well?

[@hobbyhandyman]

Thanks for watching. I don’t actually use a cover because I put it in the shed but I have to take the bagger off to put it in the shed. Good point thought, I will look into a full cover.

[@jasonkilborne806]

I'm looking to get a bagger for my 42" Husq but I need the tractor to fit through a 60" gate with the bagger attached. Are you able to tell me how wide overall your tractor is with the bagger attached? Dealer and Husq themselves aren't able to tell me...

[@hobbyhandyman]

Hey sorry for the delayed response. I would say it’s about 50 inches. I store it in a shed which has a door of 54 wide and it fits easily. You should be all set with a 60 inch gate. Thanks for watching.

[@Arcanus31]

Is the tube included in the kit ? Some pictures for the 3 bagger kit do not show the tube, and then some bags do show the tube

[@hobbyhandyman]

Yes, mine came with two tubes. I think they are for different sized decks.

[@a1930ford]

I just ordered one of these from Walmart & I am anxious to see how it works out for me. I need to clear out my own garage, as space is becoming and issue there though. Thanks for the video & tips. On question though, Do the bolts to go into the pre-drilled holes have to be tapped in to start them, besides just being screwed into place. I can't seem to thread them into the pre-drilled holes by hand to start them?

[@markverenich7409]

I just used extra force or an impact driver, as long as it's not too much to break them. Bought a bagger from walmart but not this brand.

[@cantu503]

Does the bagger come with the lower chutes that hook to where the grass spits out?

[@hobbyhandyman]

Yes mine came with two different sizes. One for the 42 deck and one for a bigger deck.

[@czarl]

any thoiughts as to why I didn't get ANY grass in the bags? I have it hooked up like in your video...thought maybe I missed a toggle or something (I inherited the mower and just trying to figure it all out)

[@hobbyhandyman]

Thanks for the comment. I would double check for any clogs in the chute and ensure that the blade is fully engaged when mowing.

[@markyb366]

could also be blades are fitted upside down not allowing grass to shoot up also blades are not sharp enough I've had this problem or grass is to wet to shoot up the shoot hope this helps

[@czarl]

@@markyb366 that is a possibility, it was my Dad's, he liked to tinker, so anything is possible We have since sold it, but thank you for the info

[@oliviawilson2553]

Hey! I just received and installed my bagger, but it isn’t picking anything up. I know I have to be doing something wrong, but after several sweeps over the yard with lots of leaves, there’s nothing in either bag. Any ideas? Thank you!!

[@hobbyhandyman]

Thanks for the comment. Do you have the blades turned on (I.e. like you were mowing the lawn)?

[@oliviawilson2553]

@@hobbyhandyman we do. The blade is on and we tried adjusting the deck on several different heights.

[@hobbyhandyman]

@@oliviawilson2553 double check that the chute from the mower deck to the bagger isn’t clogged. I will try to think what else could be causing that issue.

[@oliviawilson2553]

@@hobbyhandyman thanks! This is the first time we’ve used it, but I was wondering if maybe the deck was clogged from previous use.

[@duanesimpson9038]

You didn’t put the part information

[@hobbyhandyman]

Sorry about that. Just added it to the description of the video but also here: 592865301. Thanks for watching!

[@jaylent4208]

How much are they

[@arturoteran2846]

Can I have the 2 bag part numbers please!

[@hobbyhandyman]

Hi, thanks for watching. Are you looking for the part number of the bag itself or the total unit?

[@nathanbrunner6026]

Do you still have your husqvarna tractor with your bagger?

[@hobbyhandyman]

Yes I do.

[@coryburchell8425]

Will a 46 fit a 42 in

[@hobbyhandyman]

It comes with two different bottom tubes. One that fits a 42 and one that fits a 46. But I don’t think the 46 tube will fit a 42 deck.

[@jamesmmachell9162]

where can I purchase this?

[@hobbyhandyman]

I got mine at Walmart.

[@70srocknroll]

How to remove it

[@hobbyhandyman]

Thanks for watching. I unclip the rubber strap On the tube and then just lift up on the entire unit in the back and take it off.

[@KWKloeber]

Dude. First you screwed up the bag overlap. It's right over left so that air blowing in doesn't blow crap under the left hand rim. Second Husqvarna doesn't make crap, including the bagger. AYP American Yard Products makes (most) of the Craftsman, the Poulan Pro, Poulan, Husqvarna and other branded products. AYP puts the resellers’ names on them. But TY for the “review” LOL!

[@hobbyhandyman]

Thanks so much for the insightful comment. I appreciate the feedback.

[@FU420B]

AYP is owned by Husqvarna..

Hey let me show a video and not show the lower chute
