Mine also came off a 2660 but must have been a 54in deck as the boot bracketry didn't match up at all.
Also the rear mounting brackets were different, but luckily I had the correct brackets in my pile of random Kubota parts!
Tractor data says 08-13 for the 60 series.

I found a used Hustler super Z bac-vac for sale. My plan is to convert the hopper for use on the Kubota bagger. I am not sure how much work it'll take but I'll find out soon, I'm going to pick it up this weekend. Luckily the Kubota bag frame comes off easily, no cutting necessary, bolts only. My plan is to unbolt it and build a frame the bolts in it's place that mounts the hopper. That way it could be swapped back to bags if needed. Attached is a stock pic of the setup I'm buying.
The weights are coming with it so I'll likely mount those on the front of my BX. I am going to give the blower and chute to my father-in-law to use with his Hustler Super Z, he already has the bags. So nothing will be wasted.

I have a similar plan except with a Scag collector since that's what I have sitting around, thinking about making the dump hyd.
I had an older Hustler with the Bacvac, hopefully that one has more capacity as I always found mine to be on the small side.

Just in case someone wants to make thier own "bushings" easily for one of the 23BX baggers to fit on a BX25D backhoe mount:
1" schedule 40 rigid PVC ground down slightly works for the top.
Same PVC plus 6 layers of duct tape plus a piece of old galvanized trampoline leg works for the bottom lolol
I almost started looking for a lathe to buy but figured I needed a better excuse than this.... I'll find one eventually.
PS the adapter kit is listed on the Messicks website as of May 2025 but I didn't try to order it.
I'm supposed to pick up the Hustler Bac-Vac this coming weekend, will post some pictures of that project.

The guy with the Hustler bagger flaked out... I guess he realized he priced it too cheap. No high-tech dump from seat setup for now.
I built the baffle for the deck and completed the boot mounting brackets. When it dries up enough I'll put it to work. We have been getting rain after rain here, very unusual.

We're getting soaked here, the other day we got almost 4in in just over 1hr.
I need it to dry out enough so I can mow before it gets too tall.

deere wants almost $6000 CAD for their powerflo setup for the x700 series mowers. I paid $2000 CAD brand new for mine in 2015. I love mine but at that price I would look at other options.
