There are two versions of these bags, a short one that came out 1st and best fits the Silver Series steel deck Duraforce mowers & pusher Gold Series cast decks and the longer version that fits the self propelled Gold Series cast decks.
Short Bag: 100-6361 (came in 89800 and possibly earlier 89906 Rear Bagger Kit)
Long Bag: 100-6362 (came in later 89906 Rear Bagger Kit)
I've got a L-B site print-off parts breakdown dated 2003 for 89906 showing the 100-6361 bag, so I don't know when the change to the -6362 bag happened, but the rear bagger kit I bought with my 10424 in 2004 came with the longer bag. Thankfully I had a couple of the older short bag, because this long bag did not work well with either my 10323 or the 10424.
In a Parts & Accessories sheet dated 1999 that came with my 2003 10424, it states the capacity at 2.5 Bushel / 3.1 cu-ft … so is this for the short or the long bag ??
I did a little test last weekend with my 10525 and dumped a couple of the long bags of grass into a Ryobi AC04313 Pop-Up Lawn & Leaf Bag. This Ryobi thing is about 21.5" inside diameter and both times the full bag of 100-6362 grass settled in at about 8" of depth … with simple math this calculates out to:
2639.17 cu-in = 1.53 cu-ft or 1.24 bushels which is less than 1/2 of L-B's published 2.5 bushels.
Reason I did this quick test was it seemed that my 40V Greenworks 21" Rear Bagger held more grass than the L-B so with my wife running that mower and I running the 10525 I figured the easiest way to compare bag capacities was to dump a couple of each into that pop-up lawn/leaf bag and measure the settled depth of grass.
And YES, I was right the GW bag was 12" of grass depth at 21.5" dia. (50% more) or:
3958.8 cu-in = 2.29 cu-ft or 1.86 bushels.
This was really thick & green grass, so maybe the L-B 2.5 Bushel spec is for really dry grass !!
L-B claims the side bags hold 1.6 bushels, any one ever test that claim ??
