Default Rear Tiller, Can? and How?
Have a Cub 108. Would love to find a rear mounted tiller. If I am able to come across one will it fit my 108 and how does it mount and run? Pretty green here on knowing what and how things work on these awesome beasts!!

Thanks
John

You will need a creeper gear with the gear driven 108 to keep it slowed way down for the tiller.

I've used a creeper before and after 5 hrs tilling it sucked! My left leg was swore out after using a gear drive to till with. I was glad I had my hydro lift tho! My 125 or next hydro (got one lined up) will power my tiller from now on.

I have a #2 tiller I use on my 149. The 149 has a hydro lift which is a plus with the heavy tiller and the hydro works good, too. If you're tilling virgin dirt or sod, the tiller tends to push the hydro driven tractor forward, so you have the feather the hydro lever to go at a slower speed. This is where the gear drive with creeper would be somewhat more effective. If you do find one for your 108, the creeper would be a plus, you'll need a rear lift to attach the tiller to to lift, and a spring assist would help with lifting. These tillers do a great job. Good luck with finding one. Guess you could buy a second cub, a 149 or 129 with a spring assist lift.

Also i find it is a lot better to plow sod first before you till,its not as hard on the tiller,and it wont want to push the tractor as much

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.
