cub123,
What kind of weights are those? Got a part #? I'm always looking for something cheaper than the Deere weights I use.

Those are #808 Ford weights for the front of something like a 1710/1720 etc. Our New Holland / Ford dealer went out of business and I got a decent deal on them.

My OPINION, loaders are junk on a cub cadet. Other than the cool factor, most look disproportionate to the cub they are on, and make the tractor clumsy to use for other jobs.

They are slow to raise and lower, and are a half a day project to mount and remove from the tractor

They put an extremely large amount of weight on a front end not built for that type of work... with out anything in the bucket. Leads to all kinds of front end and steering issues. Plan on re building your steering column and replacing your tie rod ends often!

They remove weight from the rear end which, since cubs dont have front wheel assist... seems rather silly to me!

They are not good for digging in anything but a pile ...efficiently.

Lastly, y do you want one? Are you loading material into a pickup daily? Weekly? Monthly? If you just plan to use it for moving loose material from here to there, or are actually going to try to dig, build a johnny bucket type apparatus.

Save your money, your tractor, and your frustration. If you really want to get the best of your tractor with digging and hauling, put a bucket on your cub cadet 3 point.

Puts all the weight on the only two wheels that are driving your rig. Rear axles are heavier than the front by a mile and therefore no damage to your front end!!

Ok so you have to turn around to load and dump... big deal. Your only doing it for a few hours. If your using it so much you have to get neck surgery. You need a skid steer not a cub.

Good luck...

I wish Rescue11 would tell us how he really feels and not sugar-coat it so much.

I like my loader a lot, I pick up and move 55 gallon drums of oil with it quite often.

Yup their's a lot of strain on the front axle, front wheels and steering. If you don't want to be broke down long, better keep an extra set of all related parts on hand ready to go.

You really do't want it on a gear drive tractor though, you just don't have enough hands to do everything with. Hydro with a F/R foot pedal.

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.
