Kubota B2920
Hello. I have need of a lawn/leaf vacuum for my B2920. When I ordered the tractor the literature provided to the dealer indicated that Kubota's 3 pt hitch grass/leaf catcher was compatible. Upon delivery to my dealer, the dealer and I discovered that it is not. Has anyone had any luck with a system that attaches to the 3 pt hitch and operates off of the rear PTO? Any recommendations for a tow behind? Thanks for your help and all of the great information on the site.

Oddly enough I was just talking to my dealer today about a leaf vac for my 2620 (same as your 2920). They are a distributor for Trac-Vac. I have had very good luck with the one I got for free from a friend. I think it is a model 560 I use on my cub cadet 1450. The model for 3pt that run off the PTO are the 854,856,858 they even have a model specifically for the BX. They are very salty though. The list price was about $2500. They are manufactured in Thorntown, IN, (West Central). By the way I guess there is some kind of accessory for mounting it. I hadn't thought about it hanging on the 3pt arms and it would raise and lower with the mower deck.

Good Luck.

I love my tractor. I finally got to do some good dirt work with it last week. I really like the H gear range for mid to low rpm fast shuttling loads of dirt around, and the loader dug real nice. The rear end is a little light with a full bucket and no counter weight on the back, be careful with hills if you do this.
