new Bx 2360 owner

Main reason is my shed door is 60" and I hope I can fit it through holding up the rubber guard (anyone know for sure ?) but also didn't like how the 60" stuck out so far. I only drink and drive in the yard and would catch you know what from you know who if I hung the deck on some of her trees or bushes also picking up extra foot of cut so don't want to cut down on my drinkin time!!

We have much in common....I got the 54" because I didn't like the extra overhang of the 60"...That's not overkill for 2.5 acres..Actually it's perfect.

I do like to put a hurting on a Coors Light or 4 when cutting in the summer too..:drink:

I really don't know the overall width of the 54". I keep mine in a garage, so I never had to worry about it....Mine appears to be around 68" with the shute down and around 58" or so with it up...I think the design of yours is slightly different.

My BX23 doesn't have cruise, so I can't really say...Don't see a close-up on the Kubota web site..

All I can say is I remember the anticipation when I ordered mine this past spring. What a relief when the call came to schedule delivery. You are going to be very satisfied. Post those pictures as soon as you can.

New here too. Have about 70 hrs on my BX 2360. Probably the best investment I have made. It has been a workhorse on my 10 acre property. Did the 50 HR service myself. Front axel oil was very low, but I would have known to check that had I found this site sooner. I too have learned quite a lot just browsing the posts here. Have fun.

Based on the mesurements I gave, looks like you should just make a 60" door...No gurantees though...I'd get the tractor and make the door wider if need be, once you have it in your posession you'll see why.

You may even end up building it it's own garage...Mine lives in a climate controlled garage and it's quite happy.

The cruise control is located on the console adjacent to the throttle lever. You select the speed you want with the treadle then lift the cruise control knob and release the treadle and it maintains your speed. Low tech but mine seems to work well.
