Heaviest Lawn Roller Anyone has Pulled
What is the weight of the heaviest lawn roller anyone has pulled with these Cub Cadets? I am thinking of making a lawn roller greater than 500 lbs, and just wonder how heavy is too heavy. I know I will need to have my tire chains on my 104 to be able to do it.

i venture to say my cub cadet 71 (8hp) could pull over #1000 maybe more... but thats not your problem, its stoping, it you have any grade in your yard then its over, your brakes just arnt made to stop that kind of weight! and yes tire chains and weights would do you some good, lug tires would probably do just as good a job on turff without killing the yard!

I have never rolled this one across the scales. But just the materials add up to 1000 lbs. And i love it. As i was finishing up building it i began to wonder if i had gone to big. Like the others said traction is going to be the issue. My yard is slopped but not any real big hills. The only time i spun out was trying to pull it up in front of the house. And you would not want to get into a spot where it was pushing you down hill. I had it out a few weeks ago and hooked it behind the 169 just to see what it would do. It pulls it a lot easier than the 149. But pulling it this time of year is different than pulling it in the early spring when the ground is extremly soft. It really does a nice job but it pulls harder because its sinking a little in the soft ground. But the yard was so much nicer this summer. I rolled some other yards with it and everyone said it was the smoothest they had ever seen it.

Yeah, but a 200 lb guy can push a 2000 lb car, just not very fast.
My yard is pretty level except for the bumps I want to roll out. My best estimate of lawn roller I want to make is going to be around 1,200 lbs. I used a concrete volume calculator and that is what it is saying. So, it sounds like it is doable but I probably will have feel it out. If the ground is to soft, I may have trouble pulling it and just have to wait.

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.
