This QL1000 was purchased with no attachments because I had a Cub Cadet 42" blade. I was never happy with the blade for several reasons;
*Only 42" *Lack of steering when pushing hard *Corner droop Well, I have several (6+) hours of serious pushing on the rear mount 48" blade now. I ended up using the mower lift brackets for the blade lift. DSC_0080640x425.jpg The mounting turned out to be ridiculously strong!! DSC_0077640x394.jpg I love it. Since I had a 42" Cub Cadet blade on this tractor just before the rear axle mount, I was able to have a close comparison. The biggest advantage of the rear mount is the capability to steer with the blade down. DSC_0074640x425.jpg The Cub Cadet blade either lifted the front wheels, or lifted the blade. The rear axle mount seems to just push through tough situations. The lift height remained the same at 6". The major difference is the blade corner does not "droop" when angled like the Cub Cadet blade does. DSC_0016640x394.jpg Saturday I finished reinstalling the blade angle control. No pics yet. All in all, I consider this a most successful upgrade. I have moved a lot of dirt, compost, mulch, leaves and brush so far. Sorry, no snow yet!! This combo really fits my needs where my 584 IH would do as much damage as work because of its large size. The QL1000 with its rear mount blade will see a lot of work in the future. I think it will do a great job with snow, especially since I do not have to deal with the blade corner droop, which was always a problem area of the previous blade. Oh yea, check out the QL1000's new WIRE GRATE Grill!! DSC_0072640x426.jpg It is made out of a piece of shelving. Man I hope to paint this thing soon!!

I really like your work and write up on that. I think I like that set up a lot more than the cub style. Now if I could get you to make a set up like that with a 54" blade to fit a Super.
Oh for free.

If the angle control works anything like the one did on my wheelhorse, you have the best blade setup ever made, I really miss my Wheelhorse for snow, it pushed circles around my cub. (sorry guys) I would like to see the angle setup, so some close ups please.

Here is a close up of my new grill.
This piece of shelving must have been case hardened, 0.200" diameter wire, and I almost could not bend it!! DSC_0035640x483.jpg I wanted a grill with more air opening.

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.
