My thoughts would be on uneven ground.
As your cresting a hill what's going to keep the mower from rising, or is it going to have adjustable wheels with swivel at all for corners for height adjustment, and stay on the ground?
Will the loader have float so it follows the contour of the ground? Would almost have to, right?
I know, so many questions.

Hi,

There are oval mounting holes that have about 3 inches of "float" movement(you can see these in first pic). I tried it first time today but it is raining here so I wont be able to properly test this "thing" before we see some sun again(But it did rotate & cut grass).

Ok first lawn done









It seems to work ok. Pressure required is 100 bar(Lawn was long and wet so lower pressure probably is fine for "normal" lawn). Gauging wheels tend to make skid marks as they do not "steer".

Fabricate some casters for the front of the deck. I did on mine.

Looks good.

What did you use for the hydraulic pump and motor to drive the deck and how are you driving the pump? Awesome looking setup. Some casters on the front of the deck and it should be sweet!

Pretty cool! Will the hyd pump on your cub hold up to that much continuous use? Reminds me of the side mounted brush cutters used on road sides an trimming tree limbs.

Because of a lot of interest here is a pic of pump and its drive. It is standard gear pump driven by belt from front PTO. I am going to replace it with a slightly bigger pump and move it under hood in front of engine. This pump is just enough for rotating blades and lifting boom but just and just so I want bit more also I am going to build backhoe so it also needs a bit more flow. And it is currently mounted too low. I will post pump exact size after I verify 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.
