Cub Cadet 1572 Extra Dimension Notes
Size class note
The Cub Cadet 1572 should be compared against other small compact tractor models rather than smaller machines. It is sized more for acreage, yard work, loader jobs and tight property access than large field work.
Storage fit note
The Cub Cadet 1572 is a realistic candidate for garage-style storage in the right setup. 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, measure the door, not just the room.
Fitment note
The Cub Cadet 1572 is listed with 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. Check the tallest and widest points if cab, ROPS, mirrors or attachments are fitted.
Wheelbase note
The Cub Cadet 1572 has a captured wheelbase of 48 in (4 ft 0 in) / 1,219.2 mm. Compare this before assuming two tractors are physically similar.
Ground clearance note
The Cub Cadet 1572 ground clearance value is 4.5 in / 114.3 mm. Check it if the machine will be crossing ridges, drains or uneven tracks.
Storage Tips
Floor space is not enough; check the door height, side clearance and attachment length.
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.
This is a smaller tractor class, so tight acreage sheds and small equipment bays are realistic if the doorway clears.
Use the 48 in wheelbase as a clue for how much approach room is needed near the shed entrance.
Storage FAQ
What size garage will fit the tractor?
With 42 in height and 48 in width, the doorway is the first limit; with 68 in length, bay depth is the second. Start with 7 ft high, 8 ft wide, and 15 ft deep, not the bare dimensions.
What size door should I check?
Use 7 ft high, 8 ft wide, and 15 ft deep as the door-and-bay target. That is based on the tractor’s 42 in height, 48 in width and 68 in length, plus working clearance.
Do attachments change the storage size?
Yes. Keep the bare dimensions in mind: 68 in long, 48 in wide and 42 in tall. Then add attachment overhang, folded ROPS/cab height and mower or tire width.
How much maneuvering room should I allow?
A short answer: give the tractor enough room to approach straight, not just enough room to fit inside. With 48 in wheelbase, about 12 ft outside the opening is a better check.
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.
