That is one of those europe things... my Howard tiller manual has a bx2200 on the cover with the same rops.

Cheers

Here's a link to Kubota Europe. Check out the grass catcher for the BX, might explain the ROPS.

rops looks pretty unsafe no head protection thanks for posting the picture. Lame Idea. IMHO David.

The entire back hoe set up is different from the US version. The stabilizers go straight down and it appears that the bucket is much larger. I also noticed that the front loader is different also, as well as having narrower tires on the front. It looks like a totally different machine when you study the picture. I would sure love to have one of those grass catchers that they picture. Wonder if it would fit the US version of the BX? Been thinking of asking a friend over seas to check it out for me, but doubt that I could get it into the country without a big hassle.... besides, parts would present another problem... Is the Canadian version of the BX the same as the US?????? How about the grass catcher???? thanks

AARRRGGH!
Tyrannosaurus Bx!!

Guess the EuropeOns can't lift a bag of grass. At least not without a consensus.

The grass catcher shown would work well for dumping into a compost bin as the Euopeans prbably have to do.

Much of their equipment must work in confined areas which may influence the design.
