Hello -
Brand new here, and also brand new to riding mowers - just bought my first one off a friend, a 2016 MTD Yard Machine. I need a bagger, though, and have been searching for a used one. The MTD part is around $350. Could I use one off another brand of mower?
Thanks-

The simple answer is no. Of course a competent person could fit up any bagger to be mounted on the back side and the tubes themselves, there isn't much to them, but its more the about the piece that connects to the deck being properly fit; this is due to every manufacturer using a unique deck design. MTD makes the baggers for MTD, Cub Cadet, Troy-bilt, Columia and possibly a couple others, but the MTD branded bagger is usually the cheapest one you will find. For a 2016 model it likely has the newer style deck so your options for a "universal" type bagger is limited.
