This is what have had for the last 60+ years. DOT used to pull them with trucks. It actually does a nice job of cleaning ditches and grading roads.
ElderlyIron built a similar towable grader on his YouTube channel out of an old truck chassis a few years back. It was in a couple of episodes and seemed to work really well for him.

Less than 50 left or less than 50 built? Unless you have posted it before I don't even recall seeing pics or advertisements for them (I've been messing with old farm equipment for 35 years).

So was there any sort of slow down gearing for the transmission? I'd think for finish work some of these old tractors would be a tad fast for the operator to do a nice job.

There were 50 made from what info we could find, they were made by Dearborn. The one we had had a Sherman trans which gave it low range.

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.
