I found this blade at a garage sale. The gent that built the blade passed away a few years ago. It is a neat set up that could be used on a narrow or wide frame Cub Cadet. You just need to change the mule drive.
Yeah, as discussed earlier, the Cadet (or any mower) is awfully lightweight and short in the wheelbase dept. compared to a road grader. I've never fooled with a blade of any type on anything other than farm tractors. Have you ever ran one on the rear of a mower to compare how it does to the belly mount setup? I wouldn't mind trying to get mine to float so I can use it for touchups after storms.
