Can anyone tell me how good (or bad) the grass collection attachment is on the BX24? Could it replace a Cyclone Rake? I've got the green light for the tractor and mowing deck, but wondering if it's worth getting the collection system too.
I have both the Cyclone Rake and the Kubota factory grass collection unit on my BX22. I prefer the Cyclone Rake for leaves pick up in the fall, but the Kubota has it beat hands down on the grass clipping department. I can't stand the noise of the engine on the Cyclone Rake, nor do I like the dumping cart design of my Cyclone Rake. Possibly they have improved, over the model that I have (6 years old), but overall the Kubota is faster to empty, but it also doesn't hold as much.
Pleased with my Kubota bagger on my BX2200, quieter than the Agri-Fab gas powered trail behind that I have used, although doesn't hold as much, Kubota is a lot closer to tractor, easier to get around and back up since it is mounted to the tractor, a LOT quieter too.
