Look guys, I'm not bashing Kubota. Heck I own a F3060 and a ZD28pro, really good machines. Now however my nonmuscular boss says I need a good bagging machine that will handle a significant hill and not have to be used every 4 days that steers easy. (the G2000 still bags fine but steers hard and quite frankly is getting long in the tooth) The shear pin thing really is not a mystery. You can hear and see what is going on. When a collection of grass accumulates in the boot and then is sucked up the shute as a wad a pin will shear. So I'm trying to bag moderately tall grass, not dry leaves, on a hill in a sizable yard and if I get the right machine I might not have to all the mowing. My nonmuscular boss will not put up with plugged shutes nor sheared pins, So will the bx2230 with 60" MMM bag ?? Why has Kubota gone to vacuum instead of side discharge blower?? I notice that the "fancy" john deere x595 uses a side blower like Kubota did 13 years ago on my G2000. Why is the new bagger with english nuts and bolts, is this a USA add on?? Nothing against USA but maybe not design compatible?? Could I get some help? Popcans??

treestander,

I am confused by your post. What does is a "non-muscular boss"? What machine is giving you problems with plugging and shearing pins; the G2000, F3060 and/or ZD 28 Pro?

I suspect that not many TBNers own the machines you have. I have an F2260 that I purchased back in 1997. Its been a great rig. I used to use a trailer vacuum system with it, but got rid of it as it was too much of a hassle to vacuum lawn clippings and leaves. It was much easier to mow a little more often.

I can't answer your question about the BX2230 as I do not have one.

I assumed that would be another term for wife / girlfriend / significant other. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Treestander:
As for the question about the BX2230 bagging, yes it will. It's a rear mounted attachment that runs off the rear pto. I don't have one but others here do. You could try searching for threads on bagging and I'm sure you will find several discussions on the pro's and cons.

Thanks Bob B for your note. Yes my boss is my wife and she wanted something that would have power steering and would bag grass without a lot of fuss. I have reviewed other entries. Maybe I should give the bx2230 with bagger another chance. thanks
