Smile Weight bracket

I got a rear weight bracket made and put on my 982 for added weight for pushing snow. I have 120 lbs of suitcase weights hanging off of it and it holds it great and is sturdy. I think im ready for snow lol.

You are going to love watching the snow rolling off of the blade at full speed. It is recommended you use only 2 of the trip springs for pushing snow due to higher speeds being used for snow. Depending on your terrain, if you catch an edge at that speed and the blade doesn't trip, it can and will throw you sideways. I've almost been thrown off my 2182 numerous times pushing snow. Very nice lookin setup you have there.

Thank you for the advice, very much appreciated. I have a small flat concrete driveway and not a lot of room to get going fast unless i plow my sidestreet.

Yep the sudden stop can also toss you into the steering wheel hurting things you would rather not have hurt, ask me how I know.

My problems are catching the side of the blade at full speed and throwing the machine sideways and almost tossing me off the side. Been very very close to many times. Be careful out there.

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.
