I hate to hear about your injuries Frank, but when you look at what happened, then you realize just how lucky you are. I'm glad that you were not injured any worse than that and that you were able to get help quickly. The outcome could have been so much different. My trailer is only 6 inches off of the ground and I purchased it for that reason alone. Now, I have a cub that will not fit on my trailer, so I am faced with buying another trailer to haul it, but not wanting one that is high up. Your winch you installed was a wise move. You might even consider getting one with a remote control to it.
Thank you for sharing your story that will help others in the future who heed your warning! The Lord was certainly looking after you, while giving all of us a lesson in life. I try ask myself in those situations, what is the worst thing that could happen? That doesn't mean that I am always 100 % safe on everything, because I am not, but it has helped me become more proactive rather than reactive to those situations. SAFETY FIRST is always the page that stands out the most to me when I am looking at those older IH cub cadet manuals. Wishing you a speedy recovery and hoping that many people read your warning, remembering to always be safe including wearing safety glasses when mowing to prevent ricocheting rocks, disengaging the blades when leaving the tractor, making sure family and pets are inside when mowing, etc. Perhaps we need a "SAFETY FIRST" page in this forum for people to look over on occasion to remind them of such pitfalls.

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.
