Cub Cadet 87 Extra Dimension Notes
Size class note
The Cub Cadet 87 dimensions suggest a small compact tractor, which changes how storage and transport should be judged. It is sized more for acreage, yard work, loader jobs and tight property access than large field work.
Storage fit note
Storage-wise, the Cub Cadet 87 is in the smaller end of tractor sizing. With length 68 in (5 ft 8 in) / 1,727.2 mm, width 38 in (3 ft 2 in) / 965.2 mm, and height 40 in (3 ft 4 in) / 1,016 mm, standard-style storage may be possible, but attachments can change the answer.
Fitment note
The Cub Cadet 87 dimensions give length at 68 in (5 ft 8 in) / 1,727.2 mm, width at 38 in (3 ft 2 in) / 965.2 mm, and height at 40 in (3 ft 4 in) / 1,016 mm. This is the basic answer for whether it fits in your shed, barn or trailer space.
Wheelbase note
The Cub Cadet 87 lists 46 in (3 ft 10 in) / 1,168.4 mm wheelbase, which is useful when judging stability and storage length.
Storage Tips
The Cub Cadet 87 is one of the easier tractor sizes to store, but a loader, mower deck or canopy can quickly change the fit.
Recommended storage clearance: target about 84 in (7 ft) clear height; target about 96 in (8 ft) clear width; target about 180 in (15 ft) bay depth.
The Cub Cadet 87 should be easier to store than bigger farm tractors, but still measure before committing.
Longer wheelbase machines are easier to store when the door approach is straight and uncluttered.
Storage FAQ
What size garage will fit the tractor?
If your garage door is close to 40 in tall or 38 in wide, count it as too tight. The safer check for the Cub Cadet 87 is around 7 ft high, 8 ft wide, and 15 ft deep.
What size door should I check?
Because the Cub Cadet 87 is 38 in wide, a narrow door will be annoying even if it technically clears. Because it is 40 in tall, the door track must clear too. Use 7 ft high, 8 ft wide, and 15 ft deep.
Do attachments change the storage size?
Yes. The more the shed fit depends on the exact 68 in length, the more you should remove attachments or choose a deeper bay.
How much maneuvering room should I allow?
Leave turning room outside and walk-around room inside. The tractor is 68 in long, 38 in wide, and has a 46 in wheelbase, so a tight turn beside posts or fences is the real problem.
Official information note
Mistakes do happen. Tractor dimensions can change by year, tire setup, cab/ROPS setup, attachments and market. Please check the operator manual, build sheet and official cubcadet.com website for official information.
