Toro LX427 (42") 19-HP Lawn Tractor (2009 Model)

I recently purchased the OEM-190-180A twin bagging system for my Toro LX427 (2009). Assembly took about 30 minutes and was pretty easy with just basic tools. Properly sliding the system over the chute was the trickiest part. I did not need to make any modifications to the LX427.

I've used the system twice now for bagging grass clippings. It works just fine. I purchased the system more for collecting maple leaves in the fall, but I don't anticipate any difference in performance with collecting leaves vs. grass.

FYI, the system was on back order from Mowers Direct when I ordered, but it only took a week from order to delivery.

I thought I was ordering a Toro brand mulch kit that would fit my 42" rider but instead I was sent a universal kit that that is not even made to fit the Toro.

How do I know this?? Prior to buying this kit I stopped by Lowe's and the sales manager told me that this universal kit would not work and that I would need to order a Toro brand mulch kit from him.

MD RESPONDS: Accessories for Toro are made by the same company that makes accessories for MTD. This kit is the official one sold by Toro for their LX 42 series mowers. It also fits some MTD mowers.

Toro does not allow us to put their name on anything not distributed by them, so you can be confident that you are getting the genuine item, no matter what the guy at Lowe's says.
