Hitches like the one in post 10 scares me. I can haul 160 pounds of water softener salt in my carry-all and have a light front end.....too easy to put the front end 3 plus feet in the air.

I would build-use a trailer dolly like this one.

The handle would be modified so I can hitch it a a Cub Cadet.

The majority of the weight is on the dolly's wheels. The front of the tractor has a better chance of staying on the ground.

I don't like that hitch either, the ball is too far behind the rear axle.

The hitch I made with the 3-point bracket puts the ball much closer to end of frame. Plus it bolts to frame with seven bolts.

Above everything else, just remember what you’re pulling with. Regardless of how well made or attached to whatever, it’s still a 6-700 pound cub. Accidents happen quick, be careful and good luck.

I will operate as safe as is possible, definitely aware of how fast things can get away, I drive very boring watching everyone else drive like idiots.
If the 106 won't move the boat, then I will attempt some kind of carry all I have seen in other threads.
I like rigging things and eventually have creations that actually work!.
The carry all theme has me thinking, maybe I could rig something to that, man I love playing with this smoky old Cub. Be blessed,
Kevin

Me either, it places to much faith on one mounting surface, my design places load over a much broader area, a little more fabricating and it will be ready to permanently mount.
Thanks all!

Getting closer, have decided not to pull boat on trailer, since I have no other use for my large toy I'm thinking of a large Carry all on back.
Getting ideas directly on homemade here! I want to play with my toy!

Sounds like it's time to start looking for a lo-boy Cub in order to get a little more heft into play here.

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.
