Agri-Fab 45-0572 Zero Turn Mower Handle/Bucket Bracket, Black

I am disabled with some mobility issues. I recently replaced my zero turn and the new one is much larger, and sits higher. I was concerned because on day one, I lost my footing, and busted my A$$. I got hurt, and was a bit spooked getting on and off my new mower. I heard about these safety bars, and bought one. I absolutely love it, and I can get on and off my mower now with confidence that I am relatively safe and stable. The bucket holder is also nice as I now have a place to put trash I tend to have to pick up along the country highway my property fronts. I should have been using a bar like this years ago, but didn't even know they were a thing before now.

Handy addition to your mower! Sturdy and a good grab-bar when getting on or off. Had a small issue (missing piece) and their support was fantastic, shipped it out immediately. Very happy with this purchase.

I bought the Agri Fab Bucket Bracket Handle last spring for my zero turn and it has been fantastic. The handle makes it very easy to get on and off the mower, even if you are older or unsteady, and the rubber grip feels great. It also holds a standard 5 gallon bucket, which I use for tools, yard debris, and trash. It is very versatile. Installation was a breeze. Everything came in the box, including the bolts and hardware, and the instructions were clear. It took me less than 10 minutes to mount it. No parts were missing, and the whole thing is solid steel, very sturdy for me at 300 pounds. The value for the money is excellent. I paid $42, and it is even on sale now for a little less. Very handy, well made, and I highly recommend it.

I didn’t see any reviews with my zero turn model and thought it may not fit. I took and chance and found the product will fit a Toro Timecutter with my ride. It has to be mounted up against the wheel frame and is slightly tilted but not an issue. Thought it may interfere with rotation of wheel but bolt head clears with very little room to spare. I agree with others that solo install was challenging but doable. I also would like it if the bucket could face the other direction (to the inside) but holes are not high enough for the bucket to clear the platform. I could modify it by drilling holes but maybe multiple mounting options should be worked into the original design. Overall happy so far and it appears to be very strong.

Great additIon - Love it!
