When Pigs Fly,,,,,, A Cub Cadet Will Get A Wing!!
 
I have seen lots of attachments be displayed for the Cub Cadet, but, I have never seen a wing!!
Some people say a Cub Cadet will have a wing "when pigs fly!!"

I got tired of snow spillage when pushing snow with the blade, so, it got a wing.

I asked about the wing and got lots of ideas.

Then I went out to the shed and whipped it up!!

Now, if it would just snow, so I could try it out!! :bigthink:

That looks like it should work great! I've thought about doing this on my blade since I switched to a 42" blade instead of my 54" blade.

This blade was 48", now it is 54" wide, if I add a second wing, it will be 60" wide,, :bigthink:

Is 60" too much for a 10HP gear drive?? :bigeyes:

Two wings on a 54" would result in a 66" wide blade, I would have to get the Super out from under the tarp!! :biggrin2:

Put some weight on her and it dig! Lol the 54" I had on my 1200 was good if you added about 300lbs and didn't have wet snow. I just push on concrete though too, pushing uphill is a booger esp when the 54" blade was on. Was nice though two passes and the driveway was done! That big blade looks tough on the Cubs too, I may have to blade up both tractors! Then I'll have my choice to push snow!

Maybe you should just use a 54 inch plow instead of using rubber wings.:biggrin2:

Width does not matter, if the blade is less than the full width of the area being plowed, the forward portion of the blade spills.

Then, you gotta go back and clean it up.

Where did you dig up the used conveyor belt?

It probably came from the neighborhood cement plant,,,,:bigthink:

I need to dig up some used belt, I've used up my stash from the quarry days.

That should work well. I'm sure you'll post pics of it in action. Hope you don't get to use it for oh say 20 years. :biggrin2: :beerchug:

There are a couple of belt companies in Roanoke that sell used belt,,,,

There was a 200 foot piece on CL not long ago,
if I had known you wanted some, I would have split it with you!! :bigthink:
