Thinking of buying at bagger for my BX25

[meos1]

I have one on the 2370 I got. Works well not cheap but I sure do like the job it does. I will use it one more time this year and Im pretty much done till next year.

My neighbor bought a new x730 JD with bagger, snow blower, and dethatcher. Spent over 16k on it. Saw him working on his bagger this summer. Was modifying to work with his old bagger baskets off his Crapsman lawn mower. The JD bags are cloth. His old ones are plastic tubs. Was an easy change. Didn't like trying to dig the grass or of the cloth bags.

I like my Kubota Bx GCK60-23BX grass catcher. Its powerful but compact. Goes on easy enough. You roll it on to 2 hooks at the bottom, tilt up, put drive shaft on the PTO and put in the 2 top pins. It gets in tight places. Turns on a dime. My neighbor has a DR tow behind on his JD 240 mower and it sucks up leaves good and holds alot. However it's long and You need alot of room to turn. Backing up with it, he broke the flange where it mounts to the tractor and had to weld it and reinforce it. The DR chops leaves up finer. Both units can clog up from sticks. I have You tube videos on sucking up the leaves with the Kubota grass catcher under the name of Paul Sargent. add Kubota to the search and you'll find it. I'd put a link but I'm new to forums and don't know if it's OK.

We got a used GCK60-BX22 last year for our BX2200 and have been very happy with it. It was much cheaper than a new one and works well with our tractor. We have a very hilly lot so I was not comfortable with the tow-behind vacuums or the dump from seat models.
