Use snow blade as forklift?
I have several slabs of asphalt I removed as part of a landscaping project. Too big for me to pick up and put in my trailer to haul away.
I have been thinking about making a couple of forks that would hang over the snow blade (kind of like an inverted S-hook) so I could use the cub to load these into the trailer. I have looked around, but don't see that anyone has done this -- thoughts, please? Mike/Tennessee |

I think you'll break the plow. Try a set of ramps and a come along to winch the slabs onto the trailer. Or break them up in smaller pieces.

Thanks, Sam. I was certainly hoping I had hit on something, but if it were that easy there would already be a lot of them.

If not the blade will certainly take out the pins in the rockshaft. I was going to build a front lift gadget until I found out how wimpy the rockshaft setup can be. Idea has merit and many of us would have it like you said, but just not doable with that design. If you can push them and TN mentioned that would be the ticket.

The old hand cranked come-a-long is a very versatile tool, even if it is a hateful critter at times. And, can be bought cheap, nearly any where (I just did, to pull the 169 engine). But, even a 5 or 6 ft iron bar can be used in a pinch, to "uch" things along, if they aren't too big. But, these days, I look for the less stressful modes of get-n-r done.

My son the power lifter will be here in a couple of days. He can pick them up & put them in the trailer and feel good about it. I could maybe pick one up, but I would feel very bad about it.
Thanks for the ideas. -- and especially thanks for keeping me from breaking my beloved Cub! |

If you have a cc 3pt on your rig, just build forks that attach to it.

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.
