New to this forum, but not new to Cub Cadets. I bought my first (a 123)about 2001, my second (a 125) about a year later. Have overhauled both engines, bought a mower deck for the 123, and a snow blade for the 125.

As you can see from the pic, I make my Cub Cadets work for a living. I put about 200 lbs of weights on it, in addition to the wheel weights, chains and my not inconsiderable ballast in the seat just to give it enough traction to push snow. It never seems to run out of power.

I came here following a link to information on narrow frame hydraulic lifts. I bought a lift at Red Power Round Up this past June to put on the 125 to lift the snow plow. I'm getting tired of lifting it by hand. I found enough information to help me work the bugs out of it, and it looks like I will be ready when winter gets here. (thanks!)

I use the 125 year-round. During the winter, it plows snow. In the summer it is my UTV/Shop Mule/show ground transportation.

I'm in Lancaster County PA.

Welcome and nice tractor.

Ever think about installing a spring assist to lift it? They work great and make lifting the plow nearly effortless. Any type of hydraulic or cable type lift will most likely be pretty slow VS the manual lift with spring assist.

Nice outfit!...:Welcome2:

Had a spring on it. It helps, but that blade is HEAVY, and it is out front pretty far, so it has a lot of leverage over a manual lift.

Welcome! :Welcome2:

Good looking 125!
