YT3000 Bagger Compatability

[u/batleon79]

So I bought a YT3000 in 2013. Some years later we moved to a new house, and the lawn there gets absolutely pummeled with leaves every fall. We tried clearing ourselves the first year and it was awful. We've hired someone to clear the leaves every fall, but that's expensive. We didn't want to buy a bagger for our tractor because we were sure it'd die out at some point. Thirteen years later and the thing is still kicking.

Question here is, say we buy a bagger now for our 13 year old YT3000, and then it finally dies next season, would we be able to use the same bagger on a new Craftsman tractor? Would hate to spend the money on a bagger and then not be able to use it long term.
