Backhoe Total length of BX25 with Backhoe

[CAS300D]

Doing some planning in the garage, what is the total length of a BX25 with the front bucket and the Backhoe attached

Thanks

I come up with just under 15'6" with the front bucket flat on the ground and the backhoe pinned for storage.

But if you swivel it to one side you can save a few inches. I'd measure mine, but it's off right now in favor of my chipper. I can say that it fits in a 16' shed with a foot or so to spare.

Here's a pic of mine, sitting on a 16-ft trailer. Don't forget door height: you'll need a minimum 8-ft door to get through without folding ROPS down.

just remembered that i have a ati corp. quick attach on the front bucket that adds 4"-6" to the length so it maybe 15' with out it.

When I measured mine, it was right around 15'.

(this is not "scientific" by any means)

When I built my new garage addition for my BX24, I made it much longer then 16 ft. Reason is that sometimes I take FEL off in garage and it takes couple feet of space. Same with BH. when the FEL and BH is attached - the leakdown of boom makes the joint stick out roughly 3 ft or so and that would've hurt my newly installed doors if I didnt have enough length in garage. So If I were you IMHO go a minimum of 25 long so you have room in front and back to walk around with attachments off.

There is no such thing as a big enough garage.... I had a 18x38' barn/garage built for the toys and it's still not enough. The Bass boat is the biggest space offender. I recomend having big doors on both ends. It has simplified my life a lot.

When I built my first garage, (30' x 36') told my dad it wasn't big enough. His reply: When you finally get around to build one big enough you won't need it anymore.
