Default 1782 3 point lift capacity

I put a 3 point on my 1782 and bought a Brinly 3 point blade recently. The blade wasn't cutting in too well, so I hung a couple 42 LB. suitcase weights on it. I had to rev the engine up to about 3/4 throttle to lift it. It has a fresh oil and filter change and cleaning of the rearend. The oil and inside of the rearend looked great when I changed it. I had the same issue with my tandem disk. I realize these are both heavy implements, but the manual for the disk says it can hold concrete blocks in the frame. I assumed that most garden tractors were capable of lifting that much if they mentioned it in the manual. Is it time to look for a problem with the charge pump or was I asking too much of the hydraulic system?

My 1450 will (slowly) lift ~300# on a sleeve hitch aerator at full throttle. However the weight is very close to the tractor, about .75 feet , which would be 225 ft lbs of torque. You hang 120 pounds 2 feet away from the tractor, that's about 240 ft lbs of torque needed to lift. Sounds about right that you would need at least 3/4 throttle to lift that.

The charge pump is just a small gear pump. It doesn't produce much flow but it should produce about 900 pounds pressure if I remember correctly. Running the engine faster doesn't produce more pressure, but it does produce more flow, which would overcome a weak relief valve. I'd suggest putting a gauge on it and checking relief pressure. The service manual tells how to check and adjust the pressure.

I had a similar issue with my 2072 and it turned out to be a seal input shaft seal. I'm guessing it was acting as a relief valve when i was stressing the system. Replaced the seal, tightened up the trunion and it's like a different machine!

Maybe take a look for leaks and check the fluid levels to make sure it's not going down? I was going to borrow some gauges to check the pressure but after replacing the seal i'm more than happy with it.

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.
