I love the mower deck, one is in my future!!

I got a ROUGH one acre deer plot that needs its service!!

Remember, those wheels on the back were originally intended to gauge the deck, not carry it.

Bigger (swivel?) tires may be required.

Let us know if they survive!!

cut the deck up, welded it down...
welded reinforcements, and an attachment point....
bolted a pulley from tractor supply to where the blade should have gone....

this was a proof of concept low budget build (no tension pulleys..just straight belt...these mowers are always cheap on craigslist...so..


thoughts...I thought it wouldn't really cut...surprisingly..it did really well..i mean better than I expected...


keeping the cub barely above idle and cruising it cut knee high grass with no problem...raising it with the sleeve hitch was super sweet as the grass got higher..raise it to the limit..for a finished look a second pass lower..(that's for knee high)....with a more hp engine, it would be great..but then you get into harvesting a lawn tractor engine/elec start...
I like that a lot!

It puts me in mind of running a belly mower AND the tow behind. Set the belly mower way up and use the dragger as a finish mower. I'm pretty sure you could take down full grown corn with that setup!

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.
