Any updates on this, maybe a video? I have been kicking this idea around since I do not have a helper spring on my 129 and my tiller is heavy. I was looking at this one:

Anybody else use an aftermarket actuator and how is it holding up? Thanks.

Without a slot on one end of the actuator, how does the deck float?

I suppose if you have your heart set on an electric lift, that one would be alright.

However, I would bet that there are sponsors and members on this very site that can fix you up with everything you need to install a factory hydraulic lift on your 129 and probably cheaper than the price of that electric lift.

Electric lifts were a wonderful addition to the Cub Cadet line, but they had a tendency to be slow, not very powerful and they wore out/broke much easier than the hydraulic lifts.

If you were to install a factory hydraulic lift on your 129 you would not need to drill any new holes or do any welding on your tractor, it would be a clean bolt on project that should give you years of trouble free service and plenty of power.

I do think the hydro lift is the most ideal setup, I guess I should call a vendor and see what they have and for how much. Thanks

I could see wanting it to float with a deck but how about a tiller, I would think I would want the down pressure, no?

The tillers are hung from chains, so they float on their own. If the tiller hits something hard under the surface the ride can become pretty violent. If it had down pressure, I suspect real damage could occur... not only to the machine but possibly to the operator as 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.
