Default FINALLY got the garden plowed today!
I really, really wanted to put the 1050 on "garden duty" this year, but it just isn't working out for me..... So, today I finally had time and gave in. Took the cab off the 1811, got the skinny tires on, added the lower bracket for the sleeve hitch to my adapter plate I made for my tiller, and got the garden plowed. I will say, the soil was perfect, and with the exception of the fact I didn't have AG tires it did great. (The 6.50 AG's I had went with the 125 to my brother.) Now, just let it dry and I can till it. Alas, it looks like rain for the next week, so I guess my garden will be late this year. It will dry much faster after being plowed though.

Without any further delay, some pics!

Sorry, no pics of it finished. I had to stop before I was done and pick up kids, and eat supper. I finished it, but it was dark. We also took some video if you guys want to see it I'll kick it up on Youtube.

Probably isn't shiny enough. The plow has to SHINE for it to roll the soil like that.

I'd love to see you try to plow my rock garden at that speed.

Cool vid buddy.

I'm thinking you should not go to a plow day cause you would be irritated at the slow guys.
Thanks for the vid

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.
