Description
Collect lawn clippings, fallen leaves, and turf thatch across residential properties without clumping damp grass. The Toro 42 In. TimeCutter Twin bagger delivers 8 cubic feet of collection capacity for residential zero-turn mowers. This twin bagger system mounts to 42-inch stamped cutter decks. It requires high-lift collection blades on the deck to maintain positive grass airflow.
Heavy-duty breathable fabric forms the dual rear collection bags, allowing air to escape while capturing fine dust and clippings. The impact-resistant polymer hood seals tightly against the steel bag frame, preventing grass debris from blowing into the operator station. A large-diameter smooth discharge chute channels grass clippings from the deck up into the bags without internal obstructions. Heavy-duty steel brackets attach directly to mower chassis mounting points.

Grass Collection Airflow Dyno Telemetry
Airflow testing verifies 480 CFM through the discharge tube at 17500 FPM blade tip speeds on 42-inch stamped decks. Bag packing density averages 17 lbs per cubic foot in standard lawn turf without chute blockages. Front caster ground contact force maintains 125 lbs under fully loaded 140 lb rear bag conditions with ballast weights installed. Chute polymer withstands 150 hours of accelerated debris impact testing.
Lawn Bagging Safety Setup Guardrails
Mount the included front ballast weights to the front frame before operating the mower with attached collection bags. Check bag fill levels through the viewing window and empty them before clippings back up into the chute. Do not operate this bagging mower on slopes exceeding 10 degrees with full grass bags.
- Fabric collection bags require periodic fresh water wash-downs to clear dust from pores
- Discharge chute tube requires clean water flushes to remove sticky green grass build-up
- Hood rubber hold-down latches require visual inspection for cracking or elasticity loss
