Default 680 aluminum rear

How well would the aluminum rear hold up in the 680 with heavy pulling compared to a cast rear as in a 125. I would be pulling 12" to 18" dia. logs about 20' to 40' long (pic of rig I built with log splitter) out of a wooded area. If a cast rear is better, would a rear and hydro from a 129 fit, as I'm not that familiar with the 680.
Thanks in advance for any input.


Darryl

Default cub

HI Darryl, those are some big logs. I'd say the alum rear is good. It has the better carrier and axles. (fine spline) The best setup is to put the fine spline in a cast transaxle. Are you going after that 680 that was in the cl adds in the Poconos? That was a great deal, if i was closer i'd already have it. Mike

Thanks for your input. That Cub was only 6 miles from me. Shot him an email that same day and didn't get a phone call, so I assumed it was sold. With that rig I have, they don't pull real hard.

I didn't get any spam, but when I reply to anything like CL, I use a trash email account.

I've pulled plenty of logs that size with my 1282 (same tractor) and it handles it great. If you do end up getting it or one like it it'll be a great lil work tractor

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.
