Help With A Few Questions
 

Great Website! I have a Cub 1811 that I would like to use to plow with. Please tell me exactly what I need (besides the plow). It has the hydraulic lift arm on the right side of the frame, and nothing on the back to attach the plow to. Can I use the existing hydraulics to move the plow up and down or do I need to purchase a electric lift? Also what type of hitch can I use for the plow and how would it fasten to the back of the tractor? Where is a good source to purchase these parts from? I only use the tractor currently for pushing snow. Thanks Guys!

The plow would attach to the front, and latch into the hooks under the frame in the front and the hanger goes up under the tractor to a crass bar. It mounts to the same points pretty much as a deck hanger (if you have a deck). The lift should have a rod that goes to the lift arm near your right foot pad. That lifts and lowers the plow. You don’t need anything extra, nor a hitch mount.

You need a “wide frame” subframe. That’s the most important part when you’re looking for a plow. Most of the actual plows will fit a narrow frame or wideframe subframe, but the narrow frame subframe won’t fit your 1811.

Wideframe ones have two arms that curve upwards and hook onto the rockshaft under the tractor while narrowframe ones go straight back and hook onto the rockshaft between the footrests and the frame. Also wideframe ones have quick attach pins that face out instead of in.

The lift rod is different between the two as well.

Also welcome to OCC!

First, welcome to OCC...... :Welcome2:

Just to clarify... (A) Are you referring to a Dozer Blade (ie: Snow Plow), or (B) a furrow plow to turn over dirt in a garden......???

:bigthink:

He wants a moldboard plow. He says in his post that he is already currently plowing snow with it. He also refers to using a hitch. That would be in the rear.

Ah yes. In that case, the bad news is he'll need a 3 point, either CCC or aftermarket (extreme motorworks likely). The whole kit will bolt right into the tractor. Then will probably need a sleeve hitch adapter depending on which plow he comes up with.

Downside is that you're looking at around 500ish for the 3 point, whatever you get a plow for, and another 100 or so for the adapter.

That's not true. You can put a sleeve hitch (Cub Cadet 3pt) on an 1811. You don't have to go with Cat 0.

What he said!!

Ohhhhh... that kind of plow... :bash2: I was only 1/4 through my morning coffee when I read and responded to that.

Sorry for any confusion. I meant to say I wanted to mount a furrow plow on the back of the 1811. So I gather I need a sleeve hitch and what would I need to raise and lower the plow? I have no lift on the back of the tractor. Thanks again.
