Default On this episode of "Big Dumb Loads"......
So the village didn't like my trailer in the front yard. My 24' x 8.5' trailer that weighs #3750 pounds empty which it is. I am not able to move into the acceptable position with my truck due to the tight turn radius so it was up to the Cub 102. I welded up a hitch and bolted it to the rear end. I was skeptical that the Cub was going to be up to the task, this trailer is ridiculously tounge heavy. But I kinda didnt have a choice. On top of the task itself, there is 3" of wet snow cover.

I was honestly completely surprised at how well it handled the trailer. Aside from my from my front tires barely touching the ground, I had no issues moving the trailer. I was in 1st gear with the creeper engaged and the throttle was at idle. It didn't hardly even put a load on the engine. I am impressed with this little Cub!!

Heres the proof

Glad the Cub Got Er Done and I'm glad I don't live in a town that has a problem with a nice looking trailer in the yard. Don't they have better things to deal with?

Yeah I didn't know know it was against any code at the time of move in because other people had similar things in the front yard. However they don't allow that stuff to be in the yard during the winter. Lame. Other than that snafu, my lifestyle seems to fit within the other regulations so its not too bad.

That's an impressive looking hitch set up. I've moved some heavy trailers/loads at my parent's place with Dad's 125 when I lived there. Going slow and steady is the key. Was your trailer empty?

Thanks. I wanted it as overkill as possible since i was worried about tounge weight. The trailer was empty but its an all steel frame and comes in at #3750.

Ha, mirrors. It wasn't too bad actually, i would jump off and check occasionally but with it being a flat front, i was able to keep it in the direction i wanted it to go.

Interesting, I was wondering what I could reasonably tow (move) with a Cub Cadet. I have a car hauler trailer, about 1,800 lbs empty I think, with pretty heavy tongue weight. I also have to put it in a spot that eliminates using my truck (back into a barn & turn it sharp). I use a 2-wheel tongue dolly now, takes help to push (not fun) and the weight is likely more than it was designed to move, thinking it will fold up on me soon.......
Nice hitch set-up, you got me thinking now!
Thanks for sharing,

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.
