Default I'm happy I wear my cycle helmet when clearing snow
A few years ago I started wearing my old motorcycle helmet when throwing snow on my cub cadet.

Today really paid off. I was doing the final clean up when I threw a chunk of ice the size of a baseball out of the chute of the QA42............

Right against the basketball backstop and directly off the helmet right above my eyes ( forehead level )

I'm pretty sure that would have been stitches if I wasn't wearing the helmet.

Good that you didn't get hurt and a good tip for others.

Only you would try to play basketball with a Cub.

Yes a cab would be better but I do the best with what I have

I had to be perfectly squared to the backboard and the correct distance back to "make that shot".

Lucky me

Of course we need a picture of you wearing said helmet.

I don't have a hoop so I go unprotected...

But the helmet has an added bonus of keeping your head ( and the rest of body ) nice and warm.

I used your sleeve hitch drawbar to do that today too. You can't see it but it's there!



Sorry Mark's adapter is on there! It hasn't been warm enough to paint yours.

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.
