BX overall length with bagger assy attached

[bb1632]

Hello all, I'm looking to buy a bx2370 in the next few weeks and would like to also buy the grass catcher assy, but I don't know if the tractor will fit in my shed with it attached.

Can someone who has a bx2370 with the kubota bagger assy give me the overall length measurement?

Thanks!

I still have the snow blower mounted, but my best calculation is 10 feet 1 inch for the tractor and bagger.

Thanks Wild Bill.

I took some measurements and only have a max of 9' 8" for the BX, so if I get a bagger I'll have to take it off every time after I use it.

How difficult is it to take the bagger assy off?

Pretty easy on and off, once you have done it several times. Probably between 2 and 5 minutes. Have you checked the width of the doorway?

The width of the door is 6 feet, I'm getting a 54" deck.

I've been thinking about getting a BX2370, too - assuming you'll be folding back the ROPS, I wonder what the overall length would be? And, just to go for the grand total, what if you add a FEL?

The overall width of my 54 inch deck and the boot for the bagger is 64 inches, so you should be able to leave the boot attached.

Well, at least part of it will fit in the shed still attached!

A BX with the 54" deck will fit through a 6 foot door with the deflector hinged back. That is my set up. Can't help on the other measurements.

After worrying about the length of the setup, I didn't pay that much attention to the height. A bx2370 won't fit in my shed with the ROPS up so I'll have to fold it, ironically this leads me back to my initial concern of overall length. Can anyone tell me what the overall length is with the ROPS folded back? And, just to be sure, the height when folded?

I see the new 2370-1 has a different ROPS that folds closer to all the way down, so I may have to wait for Barlows to have one of the newer ones.

I don't think the older BX's, before the 70 series and excluding the backhoe units - e.g., BX25, BX25, had folding ROPS. On the other hand, the non-folding units are not as high. My old BX1860 fit through my shed door which was normal height. Don't have the exact measurement handy, but pretty sure they were designed to fit under a standard door's height.

A 2360 would fit through the door, but I've only found one at a dealer and it looks as though it has sat outside for years.
