Cub Cadet 1238 Extra Dimension Notes

Storage Tips
The Cub Cadet 1238 is one of the easier tractor sizes to store, but a loader, mower deck or canopy can quickly change the fit.
Leave walking room around the parked tractor if you need to service, refuel or connect implements indoors.
The Cub Cadet 1238 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?
The Cub Cadet 1238 is 48 in long, 34 in wide and 38 in tall, so a garage only makes sense if it beats those numbers with real clearance. A practical check is 7 ft high, 8 ft wide, and 15 ft deep.
What size door should I check?
The tractor is 38 in tall, 34 in wide and 48 in long. Check a clear opening around 7 ft high, 8 ft wide and 15 ft deep so you are not parking with inches to spare.
Do attachments change the storage size?
Yes. If you park it with the loader or implement fitted, measure that setup; do not assume the listed 48 in length and 34 in width still describe the parked machine.
How much maneuvering room should I allow?
For this small compact tractor, plan the outside approach as part of storage. The Cub Cadet 1238 is 48 in long with a 44 in wheelbase, so leave room to straighten before the front wheels reach the door.
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.
