If you fill it full, that would be 1 ton. And I'm guessing by looks, that it already weighs around 750#..... Im not sure I'd fill it and pull it with the cub near that pond! But it is WAY COOL!!

Seems it would be reasonably controllable on flat ground, but I'd hate to have that behind me going downhill. Unless you put brakes on it.

When full I use my big yellow tractor when using the 1711 I only put about 50 gal or so but the nice thing using the cub its not heavy like my ford so it doesn't leave wheel tracks.

Nice roller. I've never had much faith in yard rollers but that one looks like it could do a heck of a job.

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.
