Already asked Greg about cutting me a new center piece for the mule on the water jet!! He said drop it off and he'll get one cut. I told him to make three! Now I just need to find out about the other part for the PTO and have him cut it to.
Hehe
That's great! I will see what I can find out from Joe.

Can anyone explain why a front mounted deck would be desired? I am not being obtuse but genuinely trying to understand where it would be better than a mid mounted deck.

PM me your email and I'll send you some more pictures of the mount and PTO set up.


How about pictures for ALL of us to see.

I can only speak for myself. I have a modified 50C deck of which I added bracing and front casters, that has added weight to the deck. As the older I get, I am finding it harder to install or remove the deck in a traditional way. Lately I have been jacking up the front of the tractor to handle the deck. Seems a front mounted deck would be a lot easier to install and do maintenance. Just my perspective.

In my case I'd like a front mounted brush hog or flail mower.

Another benefit would be getting into some corners or tight spaces, you could push that deck right up to or even under something whereas a traditional under the machine deck wouldn't cut it. I bet you could even raise that front deck higher than a belly mower so you could potentially tackle some taller weeds/brush easier with 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.
