Storage Tips

- Big tractors need service room around them, not just enough space to squeeze inside.
- A 45 in wheelbase means the approach into the storage bay matters, not just the doorway width.
Storage FAQ
What size garage will fit the tractor?
Do not judge it by floor length alone. This tractor is length not captured long, 42 in wide and height not captured tall, so the garage check needs height, width and depth clearance together: about 8 ft wide.
What size door should I check?
The clean check is the tractor height plus clearance high, 8 ft wide and the tractor length plus attachment room deep. That gives margin over the listed height not captured height, 42 in width and length not captured length.
Do attachments change the storage size?
Yes. Check attachments against all three numbers: height not captured for overhead clearance, 42 in for side clearance and length not captured for bay depth.
How much maneuvering room should I allow?
Use the 45 in wheelbase plus the length not captured length together. The tractor may clear the doorway but still need space to swing the front or rear around.
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.
