Default Cub Cadet 550 lb. Heavy-duty Lawn Mower Lift
Will this be an adequate lift for a 1872 Super Garden Tractor? Anybody with first hand use experience?

Looks like it would be handy for changing blades on the mower.

TIA, Steve

Don't you have a 50" deck on your 1872?

Yes, that would be more than enough to lift the front end of a SGT.

Steve,

I bought one of those lifts earlier this year and love it. I can lift the tractor up very high, and there is no movement or fear of it falling. It is rather heavy, and in my opinion worth it. I was amazed how much grass gets stuck in the 48" fabricated deck on my GT 2000. I use it about once a month. Great products.

Thanks for the first hand experience report.

Yes I have a 50" deck on my main mower tractor now. ( 2- 50's and 2 - 60's) At 74 nothing is quick and/or easy anymore.

One of the reviews said there was some interference between the lift and his GREEN deck. I guess I shouldn't be surprised when a bear and a deer get together.

If you use a jack, please think safety. I would never crawl under anything supported by only a jack. For me, I would block under the front wheels after the tractor is lifted or cut a wood block to wedge between the scissors of the jack to prevent collapse. Yes, this lift has a "locking" bar. I would still block as a secondary support.

It only takes like 1 min to remove a 50" deck from an 1872
Yeah right. Speak for yourself.

As one gets older, taking off a deck and putting it back on is an ordeal. The "lift" looks like it would benefit a lot of guys.

Well I sprung for the lift and at checkout they insisted on giving me the 15% military discount on top of the already reduced price making it $135.99 plus $8.16 for the State, total $144.15.

In the video it shows it neatly collapsed and stored against an uncluttered wall. It is still in my truck until I find such a wall.

Ok, I wanna see a video of you completely removing a deck from a tractor and then installing it in 3 minutes.
I agree, that would be a hoot!

The Original Poster asked a question and answered. A purchase was made.

I deleted the non-relevant postings and closing this thread.

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.
