Default Time to swap tiller
I have a 782 and I'm looking to track down a tiller for it. I have a few leads but was wondering how long it takes to swap between the mower deck and the tiller. It looks fairly involved but wanted to know how long I could expect to take to swap it. I'm guessing it would be an hour to swap from one to the other does that seem accurate?

A local former cub dealer has I believe a 1450 with a tiller on it and that's it. They are asking 950 though which is alot for a tiller. Just trying to decide if having a dedicated tiller machine would be better than swapping back and forth on my 782. Thanks!

That swapping implements get's old quick.
If you have room, it's best to have one for each job. Helps not wearing out the pins taking them off and on all the time also

I've done the tiller to mower deck swap a few times and an hour is about what it took me. Especially if you are working alone. $950 for a 1450 with a tiller might be a good price, especially if the engine cradle and exhaust box have new ISO rubber and aftermarket bracing. I agree that it is way too much money if you only need a tiller which in my area can be found for about $350.

Having dedicated tractors for each implement is the way to go if you have the room to store them. That is my plan: my two 82's for me and wife to mow the lawn (we do that together), and the 149's/1450's for the tiller, landscaping rake-front blade, front bucket-backhoe (someday), and one 'bare' for use with the trailer to haul firewood out of the back woods.

How many times do you Till? - I tend to use the Cub to till in the spring and fall - so the time to swap is no big deal and not all that difficult. Bob

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.
