My sidewalk is about 48". Never measured it; just guessing. I can drive down it w/ the blade straight and clean it off one swoop. Good enough for me!

I guess, till I find one wider, the 42-incher'll work. The grandsons wanna drive all day anyway.
Going to keep lookin' for a 54-inch blade. Guessing the weldment on the blade might bolt right up to my existing setup?

Much of my snow pushing requires me to back up and take another swath (part of my drive/parking areas has only one direction to push the snow towards). The trick is not catching snow behind the blade when reversing and dragging new snow across the just plowed swath. Or building up snow behind the blade when reversing to where it requires stopping.
It might be a wider blade would make this issue worse. If always going in a forward direction then the wider blade = wider swath, up until you cant push it any longer. I tend not to take a full swath anyway just to get the drive clean by having some overlap. And when going forward it goes quite fast anyway so thats not what takes the time. If the wider blade can make that backup easier without snagging the adjacent snow, then sign me up... |

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.
