Power in Reverse / removing mower deck on Super
Hey all,
Some time ago I asked about the easiest way to remove my 60" Haban deck from my 2082. I had been jacking up the front of the tractor and dragging it out sideways. Several folks suggested blocking the deck wheels and driving backwards over the deck. Well I tried this a few weeks ago with limited success. I tried it on level ground and the tractor just did not have the guts to get over the deck. I moved to an area with a significant grade and it worked, but still not as easy as I would have liked (still easier than dragging it out side ways though). I have also had an issue (got hung up) when I was mowing a rough area of my property and I needed to back up, but it wouldn't budge. My question is this: How much power/torque should my Super have in reverse? I know that I am due to change the Hy-Tran and filters this winter, but are there any other issues I should look at correcting. Maybe hydrostatic drives just aren't for me. Maybe I've just spent too many hours on bigger equipment and I get frustrated at this type of thing.  Please help, Ross

Ross, I don't think many hydro Cubs are very powerful in reverse. Did you put a short 2X6 from the wheel to top of the deck to give it an incline? I would do the same on the other side of the deck so the front of the tractor doesn't come down hard on the front axle.

I found taking off the front wheels of the deck and using 2 small bricks for a boost up works great.....Just put in reverse and give it a enough gas to go right over it...then reverse the process with the brick and drive back over it to put it on....

Ive never had any issue with reverse in any of my hydros, it should have more than enough power to back over the deck. It should either spin out or kill the engine, but it should not sit and buzz. I agree with duke, it sounds like your oil level, or I've even heard that if the rear end is loose it can mess mess with it working in reverse, but that's probably not the issue.

The way the hydro transmission is built , it will have the same amount of power in both forward and reverse when working properly.
I would check the fluid level and change the filter if needed. Are you sure that a wheel was not spinning ?

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.
