Default Cub Caret 149 Fence Trimmer

This is my first time to post a photo. Guess we will see if I did it correctly. Foot controlled hydro would really help. How about some ideas to improve upon this? Note, it does pivot up and down and also side to side. The front bracket is only for transporting. I also replaced the stringer head with one that holds .155 line

I like it
Need turn it around, make a round shield above the string and spring load the arm so it pivots around the posts!

The grass coated front tire tells me you been using it already.
I salute your creativity.
Now you need a drink holder on the other side to balance out the weight.
One that holds a pony keg should work good.

Interesting concept. I've seen a trimmer that mounts to the front of a Cub that runs off the PTO.

How about a Video of how this thing works. It looks real interesting.

Wow, a video? I felt lucky that I got the pictures to show up. It works best along long fence lines, it does ok along ditch lines. Doesn't work so well in tight areas. At this point it only swings about a foot or so beyond the mower deck. The trimmer engine swings into the side of the driver. Maybe one of the grandkids could help with a video, the oldest is 8.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
