Specifically Engineered for Kubota BX Series Utility Tractors
The Trac-Vac Model 854-BX is a specialized, tractor-powered vacuum system custom-designed for the Kubota BX Series. By tapping into the tractor's existing power, the 854-BX provides professional-grade suction without the need for an auxiliary engine. Mounted on the Category 1 3-point hitch and utilizing the 540 RPM rear PTO, this unit turns your sub-compact Kubota into a high-capacity cleaning machine, ideal for large properties, estates, and professional landscaping.
Key Features
-
Kubota BX Optimized: Specifically designed to fit the frame and power requirements of Kubota BX Series utility tractors.
-
PTO-Driven Power: Runs off the standard 540 RPM rear PTO. It features a 2-to-1 gearbox coupled with a belt-drive system, amplifying the turbine speed to approximately 3800 RPM for maximum vacuum pressure.
-
Large 44-Bushel Collection: Includes a heavy-duty Model 368 dump cart with a 20-gauge all-steel cover, providing a total collection volume of approximately 50 cubic feet (44 bushels).
-
Category 1 3-Point Mounting: Mounts securely to the tractor’s 3-point hitch and is supported by stabilizer arms, keeping the tractor’s lift arms free for raising and lowering the mower deck.
-
Quiet & Efficient Turbine: Features a six-bladed forward-curve turbine that mulches debris for superior compaction while maintaining a quiet, operator-friendly noise level of approximately 70 decibels.
-
Clog-Resistant Design: Utilizes large 8-inch diameter intake and exhaust hoses. This larger diameter is specifically recommended for mower decks of 54" or larger to move wet leaves and heavy clippings smoothly.
-
Tapered Steel Dump Cart: The cart body is tapered four inches from front to back, ensuring that collected material slides out effortlessly during dumping with minimal risk of clogging.
-
Industrial Durability: The all-steel cart cover is powder-coated for long-term rust resistance. For commercial use, an Extreme Cart upgrade is available with a reinforced, heavier steel body.
-
American Craftsmanship: Proudly made in the USA since 1955.
