Snowplow setup
OK, got the snow plow/dozer blade on the 124. Now how do I get any real use out of this contraption? I "graded" dads driveway with it and patched a wash in the farm road. I am finding spreading gravel is not easy. We ordinarily grade it to the center of the driveway, set the blade straight (7' wide) and go backwards really fast, spreads it out nice and smooth. Obviously the Cadet is very slow in reverse. Also, this sucker HATES loose ground. Not to mention it will get itself stuck in wet grass. Thinking I need to drop tire pressure maybe--These narrow tires don't impress me much. I imagine I could get 40lbs of water in each tire, that would help, but will it be enough to do any good? I could rig up a 2-300lb weight rack on the back--got some suitcase weights collecting dust. Of course enough traction will get the roll pin or the clutch. Any way, looking tips on how to use this thing and what to expect out of it.
Oh, are the depth skids just for plowing snow on concrete and asphalt? Regarding snow, I only want to clear off the apron in front of my garage, getting too old to shovel (old/lazy--same thing). Before you offer advice, I do NOT live in flat-landia, there are hills everywhere here Pics are before the blade was properly installed. AS you can see I had the Cadet on 2" blocks to set the lift rod.

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.
