CUB CADET 19A30043100 Leaf Collector 42"-46" Decks XT1 XT2 Enduro Series Lawn Garden Tractors

What It Is

The Cub Cadet 19A30043100 is a OEM leaf collection system designed for 42-inch and 46-inch cutting decks on Cub Cadet XT1 and XT2 Enduro Series lawn tractors. It attaches to the tractor’s discharge chute to vacuum and bag leaves during fall cleanup or mulching.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your tractor model and deck size. This kit fits:

• Models: Cub Cadet XT1 (LT42, LT46) and XT2 (LX42, LX46) Enduro Series tractors.
• Deck sizes: Only 42-inch and 46-inch fabricated or stamped decks.
• OEM part: It’s genuine Cub Cadet, not an aftermarket alternative—so fit is guaranteed for listed models.
• Check: Verify your tractor’s model number (found under the seat or on the frame) and deck serial number. This kit does not work with 50-inch or 54-inch decks, or older LT/LX series tractors.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate (requires removing the existing discharge chute, mounting brackets, and routing the collection hose). Expect 1–2 hours with basic hand tools (socket wrench, screwdriver).
• Space required: The bagger adds about 18 inches to the tractor’s rear length—make sure your garage or shed can accommodate it.
• Quality: Heavy-duty fabric bag and metal frame; holds up well under regular use, but avoid overfilling (maximum 7 bushels) to prevent clogging.
• Gotcha: The collection hose can kink if not routed carefully around the rear tire—use included zip ties to secure it.

Should You Buy It

This is the right choice if you have a compatible XT1 or XT2 tractor with a 42-inch or 46-inch deck and need a reliable, OEM leaf collector for heavy fall use. It’s pricey, but fit is guaranteed, and the build quality is solid for homeowners who want a hassle-free solution. Skip it if you have a different deck size or want a cheaper aftermarket alternative.
