trencher on a cub

[Merk]

This was at Ohio Plow Day a few years ago.

I think I would try to do things a little different....Pump and tank would be under the hood altho from the looks of that the hydraulics engage with the pto lever.

I don't think there will be enough room under the hood. You will have to extra heat from the motor which could hydraulic oil to overheat.

I have seen pictures in Red Power Magazine of a Cub Cadet 104 or 124 if my memory serves that had an Inhofer Groundsaw. They are extremely hard to find because they weren't a common attachment and because they got really beat up. To top the trencher, the Cub I say with one also had an aftermarket LPG conversion on it. How cool is that!

Thanks Merk...thats another part of the puzzle because that tells me the creeper gear is slow enough for the trencher..Your probably right about the tank and fluid temp...

Put and air cooled diesel in it.

KD425-2The 18.8 hp diesel engine delivers the Performance Engineering standards you've come to expect from Kohler. The direct injection system produces increased power and lower fuel consumption. Full pressure lubrication offers superior cooling and performance combined with full-flow oil filters for longer engine and component life. Air cooling, horizontal shaft, twin-cylinder design, electric start, and an aluminum alloy independent head set the standard for power and engineering excellence all backed by a 3-year full warranty.

along with that last link i remember seeing a chipper shredder attachment and a generator attachment, so you could call a cub cadet the Swiss army knife of the lawn/garden tractors

I am new, as of today. I looked at the Trencher shown by "Transformer" and see that it is very similar to mine. The trencher shown in the picture was kept in better condition than mine.

I have started the process of repairs due to neglect and outside storage for all those years. The engine, hydraulics and drive now all work very good.
I was lucky and also found all the information on the Vermeer trencher, that was installed on the Cub Cadet. Vermeer actually has all of the old files for this unit.
I have done a few trenching jobs, free for neighbors. It does build good will in ranch country.

When I have the opportunity I will upload pictures.
