Cub Cadet Recon 48 Extra Dimension Notes
Size class note
The Cub Cadet Recon 48 should be treated as small compact tractor size when planning real use. It is sized more for acreage, yard work, loader jobs and tight property access than large field work.
Storage fit note
For shed fit, the Cub Cadet Recon 48 is not oversized. With length 68 in (5 ft 8 in) / 1,727.2 mm, width 48 in (4 ft 0 in) / 1,219.2 mm, and height 42 in (3 ft 6 in) / 1,066.8 mm, a good garage, carport or compact shed may be workable.
Fitment note
For the Cub Cadet Recon 48, the main fitment numbers are length at 68 in (5 ft 8 in) / 1,727.2 mm, width at 48 in (4 ft 0 in) / 1,219.2 mm, and height at 42 in (3 ft 6 in) / 1,066.8 mm. These are the specs to check against a shed, trailer or gate.
Tread width note
The Cub Cadet Recon 48 rear wheel tread is 48 in (4 ft 0 in) / 1,219.2 mm. Treat the front tread as unconfirmed here.
Storage Tips
For the Cub Cadet Recon 48, small-shed storage is realistic if the opening has usable margin, not just a perfect-on-paper fit.
If the tractor is stored with a loader or rear implement, add more bay depth than the bare length suggests.
For small compact storage, height and attachment length are usually the traps.
Storage FAQ
What size garage will fit the tractor?
If your garage door is close to 42 in tall or 48 in wide, count it as too tight. The safer check for the Cub Cadet Recon 48 is around 7 ft high, 8 ft wide, and 15 ft deep.
What size door should I check?
Because the Cub Cadet Recon 48 is 48 in wide, a narrow door will be annoying even if it technically clears. Because it is 42 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?
A straight run into the bay is the cleanest setup. For a 68 in long tractor, about 12 ft outside the door is a better benchmark than squeezing in from a tight turn.
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.
