Grass Catcher for BX2200

KeithInSpace · Oct 5, 2006

I'm (now) a huge fan of the OEM bagger. Before, I was having issues with the shear pin popping twice a mow (about 8 minutes to replace). Now I'm using a split pin instead of Class 5 bolt and all is right with the world. I am also huge on "fleet reduction". Yet another gas motor to maintain (for a TracVac) is a big negative IMHO. OEM bagger comes with a REALLY nice spring tube that negates the need for any type of clamp. Very clean unit. Actually backed mine HARD into a tree and crushed the lid and bent one of the bag frames. About 45 minutes of aggrevated assault and she's looking good as new. I'll have to say that Kubota builds them right.

Chaulk up another fan for the Kubota bagger, a lot easier to put on and off since changes http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/87494-bagger-install.html After a few times on and off even with the original mounting, it gets easier, I just didn;t like removing the links from the rockshaft arms to the lower link arms everytime I wanted to use the bagger.

Got bagger for BX-2230 several months ago and documentation was poor and they changed the boot kit for the 60 inch deck. There is no baffle at the chute opening and the now have a plate at the leading edge that bolts on. The attachment does not use a rubber cord but hooks over inner edge of deflector and locks in place with a thumb screw. Has anyone tried mounting the catcher with the three point hooked up for lifting the catcher and then disconnecting the links after it is mounted instead of using jacks or other things?

I have an older model that I just acquired and was wondering if you might have a picture of the plate that bolts onto the leading edge? I am trying to visualize what the difference is between the various versions and if changing a few parts might help a already good tool to work even better. Thanks Dusty.
