Cub Cadet 147 Snowthrower
 

Hello, I am looking for a snow thrower for my Cub Cadet 147. After doing some research, I found that there are a lot of different models that will fit my machine. What is the difference between all of the the snow thrower models? Is my machine under powered for a 42 inch or should I get a 36 inch snow thrower?

Thanks

Logan

You can use, for the 147 these models:
* QA36
* QA42
* QA36A
* QA42A

The QA42/42A was used on previous tractor models with 12HP or less, so your 14HP should have no issues operating the larger unit. These are all single stage units, and depending on who you talk to, were just "ok". The later dual stage units threw snow better and farther, but not entirely sure they can be retrofitted to your model.

Get yourself a 42". A 36' will work but you will be running over more snow with the front wheels during turning maneuvers

I have sent you a PM.

Just had to say that my name is also Logan and I also live in Wisconsin.

Could you tell me the difference between the QA42/42A?

The QA42 is narrow frame only where as the QA42A & 36A is adjustable so it will fit either narrow frame or wide frame. The 2nd A, standing for adjustable in this case
