Finally justified the price ($2600) of the Kubota bagger only to find it wont fix because I have a backhoe. Looked into the Protero but they want over $4000. Any other options out there besides the pull behind?
Bagger options for B2650
- Thread starter hondoo
- Start date
First time on the site....
I'm kind of in the same boat......Was thinking of upgrading from my 2011 BX25D with FEL, Backhoe, Clamp-On Forks, 60" Mower Deck, Grass Catcher/Bagger, & front 50" Snow Blower to a 2020 model as many items seam to be better & easier than the 2011.
My original thought was to go with the B2301, which I think is the next size up from the BX and has the extra lifting capacity, along with getting pretty much the same attachments as I had before (see above) except for actual forks instead of Clamp-On style and a drive over Mower Deck.
I've been told by the local dealers that this tractor would have limitation & all these attachments wouldn't work.
I then did a little more homework on this last night.........appears to me that the only option I would had & the smallest tractor available with a decent lift capacity and would offer the capability of having these attachments would be the B2650 or the B3350 (based on building it on the Kubota site). Wasn't looking to get an oversized machine (especially tire size), but looks like I might not have a choice if I want to go that road. The only thing I did notice was that these 2 do not offer the Swift-Attach option for the FEL based on what I seen, but believe that these 2 models are getting replaced with the LX2610 & the LX3310 (this year) which does offer the Swift-Attach FEL. Not sure when the LX2610 & the LX3310 are actually available and there isn't much information to confirm about the attachments.
Well.........this got shot down as well. The dealers advised me that ALL Kubota backhoes are subframe mounted now, so once the subframe is installed the grass bagger/catcher will not fit. The backhoe is quick attach, but the subframe stays on. I told them of the "build it" on the Kubota website allowed me to combine them, but he advised me that it is inaccurate. Is it me or am I correct in saying that the bagger/catcher only fits on the BX model I guess? Seems CRAZY to me?
Any info or help on this would be much appreciated!!

It is possible to fab some brackets to mount the bagger off the backhoe sub frame. I did it w my 2601.It wont be plug and play at all as the backhoe subframe takes up a lot of real estate on the back of the machine
Thanks for the input!! I'm just a little cautious when it comes to that.....I'm not sure what to attach, where, how would it work, any future issues/concerns, etc... especially being a brand new machine.
