Default Ground Supported or Hanging Deck?

Quick 44A type deck question.

Are these decks ground supported, i.e. the rear wheels ride on the ground similar to a Simplicity or Wheelhorse - or do these decks hang from the tractor?

Thanks!!!!!!
Bill

Hang from the tractor. On level ground, IE: concrete or flooring set to mower deck to the correct mowing height you like then move the anti scalp wheels down till they are as close to the floor as possible without touching it. This should have you set up pretty good. The lift stop cam on the right side of the tractor can be adjusted to stop the deck at the exact height you want for mowing. I use a permanent marker to mark the spot once I get it right. This helps in setting it back correct if you have to take the deck off or put on other implements.

I agree with DX3!! the wheel height is somewhat dependent on the terrain also.

Those wheels are supposed to hit "occasionally". Regular contact will wear them out fast!!

If you mow rough terrain, set them a little higher, they last longer.

I have a modified 50C deck and I have it setup to let the wheels rest on the ground when mowing.

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.
