Does anyone know how much a kubota grass catcher would cost for the B2650 with a 60" mmm? There is one listed on the kubota website. I've read they are a pain to install/remove what other ways are there to rake up the grass? I've been using a cheap sears tow behind.

I've used a tractor with a Mow N' Vac... works very well for leaves and heavy grass. Plus it's large enough to handle huge loads of grass versus a bagger.

When you start going in the realm of 60" or bigger, you really need a Mow N' Vac because the amount of grass a 60" or bigger can cut in one swath.

Mow N' Vac like one by Agri-Fab?

I have a Protero PV-18 PTO. Got it in the fall of 2013. Cost a bit north of $3K, probably more expensive than the Kubota bagging unit, but has worked very well for me. I couldn't tolerate the size of a tow behind unit for the weekly mowing. Picking up the fall leaves would be one thing, but I wanted to bag most of the time. The Protero is a bit larger than the standard 3 bin bagger units, and is quick dump from the seat. I just back up to the compost heap, dump, and go!

I have the Kubota pto fan and bagger on my B3350 and a 60"mmm. Works well. Rarely clogs. I got it all at tractor purchase time so I don't have a separate cost. I cut my lawn often enough that filling the bags aren't a problem. Would depend on your lawn size. But because of fall leaves, I'm thinking about modified the bags to a dump box. Grass is heavier to dump, but leaves take greater volume for me.

The rear baggers on the B' and BX's ARE NOT the baggers of before. They go on and come off in MINUTES now with the new 3pt hookup.
I looked for one for my B2620 last year, couldn't find a newer model one, and same for my BX2670. I've passed on several old style baggers.

I'm almost positive the smaller B2620 and BX's are now 3pt mounted according to my dealer. Sets on its own storage stand. On/off in 1 minute. Maybe your bigger 3300 is different.

How can you tell them apart?
