Having had both a 46" and 48" on a 1641, I can tell you the 46" deck is quite capable of filling all three sacks with grass clippings and/or dry leaves. If you take the bags off, the 46" deck likes to leave a nice windrow of clippings on your yard. I have been told by a Cub dealer, that's why that deck was discontinued.

The 48" deck MIGHT gather clippings but I don't think the made a bagger for that deck. If they didn't, there must have been a reason.

The 48" deck does a nicer job of mowing the lawn than the 46" in my opinion.

The 46" deck when used with a lawn vacuum like EZ VAC will not leave a single uncut blade of grass or a leaf on the lawn.
