I wonder if he had the deck set up to be in front of the tractor? That would explain the odd mule drive. Love to see what turns out with this one.

I want to see more pics of this one. I've been thinking about building a front mount Bush Hog for one of my Cubs and this guy may have done the same thing. You may just have something that turns out to be very cool.

That's what I'm thinking too Sam. He had the deck mounted out front of the tractor. Would like to see more pics of it.

I think he put the big wheels on it because he has rough terrain or it's what he had on hand, then discovered he couldn't get it under the tractor to mount it.

This just keeps getting better!!!

I am almost positive it was hooked up to the front. When I get home I will give it a try. Then I will post some pics.

I wonder what the advantages of doing this would have been?

Absolutely amazing.

Off the top of my head it wouldn’t have the problem of the front tires packing the grass down before the mower got to it. Maybe he could see where the mower is better with it being out in front sort of like some of the commercial front mounted mowers. It could also cut down on the amount of grass that gets sucked up into the engine cooling. The PO may have been onto something. I wonder if you could get in contact with the PO and ask?

I can think of several places I could cut the grass with that set-up, that I can't get at with the belly mount.


IE: Between trees along a fence line. Into fence corners. At least a heck of a lot closer than I can now.

Wouldn't mounting the deck on the front make the blades spin the opposite direction? Or maybe I'm just crazy. Unless the po flipped the deck around but then it would be like mowing in reverse all the time. What a cooky setup I'm interested to see how it actually works.

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.
