The IH Cub Cadets have the ability to have down pressure.
Down pressure is not the total answer. With a heavier blade it can float and follow the ground. Yes you can use the down pressure, but then you take weight off of the front steering axle. The SGT blade is taller also and 4 trip springs.
You gain 1 1/2 of ground clearance compaired to my IH Cubs...not enough to make any difference. As I said earlier there is a huge difference in the traction department when you compare pulling-race trucks and everyday use. A puller with any experence should know that.
Its not only the ground clearance. Tire diameter and width makes a big difference in traction. Thats why they they install larger tires on garden tractors vs. lawn tractors also (foot print and rolling diameter). Do you pull tractors? If so, you should know that.
I know several that change the pulley size on the snow thrower....they do a good job moving snow. The cheaper snow thrower does the job I ask it to do.
2 stage blower vs. single stage. No comparison! 2 stage taller also for drifts.
That trailer looks like a 6 foot long and 4 foot wide?
I've hauled wood with my 100 pulling a 4 foot wide and 8 foot long trailer. I don't need tire chains to haul wood. My 70 wasn't together at that time. There is no doubt in my mind it would have handle it.
Last spring my Dad's 2182 wouldn't turn over. There is 3 pages of wiring diagrams for a 2182 plus there is no room to check wires. My old IH Cubs have only 1 page. There is not a seperate page for rear pto or safety switches.

Like I said, goverment regulations for safety.
Sounds like your dad has a Super Cub Cadet Tractor. I take it he likes it or he would be using a Regular Cub Cadet Garden Tractor too?
