Just received and installed the GCK60-23BX grass catcher. Took 3 hours to assemble and install. I must say - what a pain. I then proceeded to cut and bag my lawn. Yep - its a bagger. I'm sure it will do the required task in the spring and fall but the time to attach it to the bx2370 is a bit much. I probably will be using it only in the spring and fall. Pros: Its a bagger and captures all cuttings. Cons: With the ROPS down, the bagger lid will not open and latch. For those who have limited height storage, you will have to raise and lower the ROPS each time you use it. At $2300, it seems a bit overpriced. One could buy a new tiller and box blade and still have money left over when compared to cost of the bagger. This is not to say that its a bad purchase but the amount of time that it will be used each year - it is hardly worth it. One could buy the best HD rider with bagger for the same cost. I guess ill get my satisfaction in the fall when the leaves are on the ground.

I have the Kubota bagger also. I use it just for leaves in the fall. It is a pain to install thats for sure. Found and bought mine from a local kijiji add. Paid $400 for it guy had sold his Kubota and wanted the bagger gone. I'v made a stand for the bagger to sit on so that it's easier to put on and take off. The stand also doubles as a pallet so that I can move it around with my pallet forks,this way its easier to put it into the storage area and bring it out in the open for more room to install.BTW love how the bagger works and does its job.
I tend to mulch my leaves in. Means you have to mow frequently in autumn (fall for you guys). I like driving my tractor, so that's no hardship. But our trees don't drop anywhere near as many leaves as yours - most of our native trees are evergreen.
