Default Plow day
On Saturday, I participated in my first plow day. There were no other Cubs besides myself so I tried to "represent"!! Most of the tractors were Simplicity's or Allis Chalmers. There was a John Deere 445 plowing. He was faster than anyone and was plowing deeper than anyone. Would a Cub 2182 "compete"?

You're only supposed to plow down so far, it's always the JD guys plowing way to deep trying to show off so I wouldn't worry about it.

This is true but still, does cub cadet, specifically a 2182, 1782 or a 1772 even compare? If a 445 could go this well, I imagine a 455 would pull a plow easily!

Darrell as Tim said it seems the JD guys always have to show off and plow deeper than every one else. Last week we had PA plow day. I love to plow with the JD 430's. I have a 1572 and a 1772 and they have no problems hanging with he Deeres. It does make it hard for the smaller tractors to follow them.

The one time a year the JD guys can go deeper than 4-5".

I have a 982, a 2072 and a 1572... of the 3 my 982 with the original Onan can plow circles around the other 2! I was plowing with my 982 and the JD pulled away from me easily...

I have 4 different garden tractors that I can plow with. If depth impresses a JD guy, my Speedex 1631 can go deep enough that I know I could high-center or tip over those guys. But like a previous poster said, there is such a thing as too deep (let's keep our minds on ploughing.... ). If someone is intentionally plowing deep hoping to hang up someone else's GT, they have a real problem and have no business being allowed to stay at a plow day, IMHO.

Those plow days look like a LOT of fun..... I'll have to keep my eyes and ears open for ones within a reasonable distance from NW Arkansas.

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.
