36" or 42" snow thrower?
I am looking to purchase a snow thrower for my 102 Cub. As I only have a 10 HP motor should I look for a 36" or 42" model? I do have the creeper gear option but don't want to over work the motor having it struggle with a thrower that is too big. I did pick up a 1A U111 tiller with the extensions so I can always shorten that down to the smaller size if need be. What are everyone's thoughts about the size thrower I should look for, and what size tiller I should run? As I don't have the QA option installed on my tractor what would be the correct model for the thrower I should try and find? Sorry for all the questions, I'm still learning.
CaptMax PS. Northern Michigan here so we do get deep snow once in awhile too.

I would stick with a 36" snowthrower. I think a CW-36 or QA-36 is what you need. You might be able to get by with a 42" one, but you'd have to go slower. I can kill the 18 hp engine on my 782 with my QA-36A if I feed it too fast. The 36" ones will also be lighter, which will matter unless you have a spring assist or hydraulic lift.

I was told a tiller with both extensions requires at least a 14hp,but I never had a chance to test it out.
A 36" thrower will be fine.And yes the 42" is a bit heavier...

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.
