The front blade hangs a couple feet in front of the tractor. Any movement on the rear tires is magnified in the front proportional to how far the blade is from the rear tire and the pivot point (front axle). A one inch hole that the rear tires dip into may be a one or more inch rise on the front. Same is true with a rear mounted blade. Even though the wheelbase of the tractor is short, with a center grader blade any movement on the wheels would be reduced by half, as opposed to equal or a tad more. So.... a one inch hole now affects the blade by only 1/2". How fast can it be adjusted?...... As fast as you can move the lever. It's attached to the same lift as any other attachment.
Ya know, with all the attachments Xtreme Motorworks makes for our little Cubbies (back blade, front blade, rear dump trailer, etc), I'm kinda surprised they haven't made a belly mount grader blade. I know GT's don't exactly have the greatest clearance in the world but something would be better than nothing.

Now wouldn't THAT be something! However, if I was going to build something, it'd be similar to the 3rd, 4th, and 5th pic below. It's like a mini articulated a$$-kicker!!

I've seen that pay loader in person. It's pretty cool.

The forklift is Kelly Birkey's. Tim (spudder) knows him well.

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.
