Mowing Kubota Bagger for BX 70 Series

[Mowbizz]

I have used a Kubota bagger and it was adequate but a pain to install and remove for one person, me!
If theres a new style that doesnt use the 3 point that would be a plus. If youre spending so much, consider a used zero turn. I used an Exmark with the bagger system in my lawn business and these things suck like a vacuum cleaner...branches and twigs included. Fall cleanups were a breeze with the Exmark! Fun to drive too! A good used one would likely run you about the same as the Kubota system. Just a suggestion...

Excellent choice on those Oregon mulching blades. I switched to those last season on my Z725 and really liked the cut quality and the reduced clipping size.

I put the Gator G6's on, and while the cut seems nice, they won't do much for mulching with my 60" drive-over deck. This spring has left grass clippings all around, and since I'm trying to get the grass back to some level of health, I don't want the heavy clippings laying on top of the grass.
I can't see another piece of equipment (zero turn) taking up space in my all ready too small barn. So, my choices are the rear bagger or Cyclone Rake.
A friend just took his Ag-Fab trailer type collector back, and bought the Cyclone for his JD 3-family sized tractor. He loves it and thanked me over for recommending it. I just don't want that 7 feet of rear trailer hanging behind me. I may need to go look at his Cyclone to see if that is the better choice. It certainly is an easy on/off once fitted, but the cost for the recommended size for the BX costs over $700 more than the GCK60-25BX. At this point, the shear bolt issue may have me trying the Cyclone. If in a year I don't like it, back it goes with no obligation or loss.
