Thanks! The "D" rings are 20K rated, IIRC. I didn't want them breaking For the time being, I'll pull it with the only truck I have now, 1990 Dodge diesel D250. Used to have another Dodge, 1996 Ram 3500 dually, diesel, 5sp, 4X4. It was a BEAST! I had "modified" it a little.... It was turning around 325HP. Sold it. It needed work, (LOTS of work) and I didn't want to put the $$$ into that truck. I want another 1 ton Dodge, but haven't really been looking. May get a 2 ton instead. Short sided dump. I dunno yet. Right now, the 3/4 ton will pull it. Yeah, you can get at least 6 cubs on it.

Front headache and winch block. The block is a hydraulic cylinder rod. So it's HARD and chrome plated. Headache is also in stake pockets, so it can be removed if desired.

Adjustable "pin" jack. Adjustable front hitch. Currently with a 2 5/16" Ball, but have a pintle hitch for it for the heavy loads. See the large box tube in the center? It goes back to a make a "T" to sturdy the front hitch and keep it from bending during a hard turn.
Attachment 49024Attachment 49025




Some of the welded "D" rings. Also, the square holes are for a side mounted ramp. No ramps made yet, but there is provision on both sides for one. It will insert into the square holes and be a folding ramp. Just easily removable.
Attachment 49026


The rear ramps. Dual ramps, bi-fold. As you can see they are HEAVY. First pic with them leaned forward. Second pic, pinned in the upright position. Third pic shows both pins. If you have a truck on that is a little long, they will tilt back a little farther, but still be folded up. Even in that tilted position, the rear lights will still be visible. Fourth pic, unfolded.
Attachment 49027Attachment 49028
Attachment 49029Attachment 49030


First pic shows the spring for assist. Just pull the clip and when the ramps are tilted forward, the spring will slide off. See the mount? Second pic, the opposite side. Pull the spring, lay the ramp down, pull the second clip, and the ramps just slide to the outside and detach.
Attachment 49031Attachment 49032


A view from the rear. If you look, the lights and the "feet" are placed so that if the ramps are in the tilted back position, the feet don't block the lights.

Next time I need to move a D8 I'll give you a call.

LOL! I bent the original trailer frame we started with, hauling a tractor. Before we welded the double frame on, we actually bowed the trailer in a "U" slightly so that when loaded it is flat. I didn't want to bend the frame again. I wanted a trailer heavy enough to haul a backhoe, or two uni-loaders with no problem.

Thanks Mike, Nick, Allen, mmzullo!!

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.
