    What to do?

    I just stumbled across this this beauty on market place, might be inspiration?

    What to do?

    If the 1450 or 1650 have the hydraulic lift, and rear "3 point" lift, they bring pretty good money in my area. There was a couple on market place this winter, both over $1k, and neither one looked particularly well maintained. But since your in cubsylvania, they are probly a dime a dozen where...

    Cub Cadet 7274 Rotary Cutter Size

    The 4ft bush hog is rated for 18-40hp tractors. The 5 and 6 footers are for tractors with 20-60hp, and I believe you would want that at the pto, not engine. In my opinion, since your tractor is factory rated at 27hp at the engine and 23 hp at the pto, I would think the 4 foot bush hog would be...

    Cub Cadet 7274 Rotary Cutter Size

    Most "bush hogs" have a recommended horse power rating listed in the sales literature, as do most reputable dealers of box blades, land planes, and most any attachment really. Don't go to TSC or other farm store for advice, head to a dedicated reputable dealer. Online, I would check out "good...

    Soft shell cabs - wide frames

    I forgot to add, I broke the front window in mine transporting it home. The local hardware has thin Plexiglas, a tad shy of 1/8" thick, if I remember correctly. I just used that for a new front window.

    Soft shell cabs - wide frames

    They are around 6 foot tall once installed. From floor to top of cab. The windows don't fog, and you do get a bit of heat from the engine, on a cyclops anyways. Opening the hood sucks, and filling the fuel tank on my 1862 borders impossible with a "new" style safety gas can, and is a royal pita...

    1st snow challenge 2024

    This year has been absolutely terrible for snow. We didn't even have a white Christmas! The snowmobile trails just opened a week and a half ago! I've only ran my snowblower 2 times this year. Last week, the west end business association, and Keweenaw chamber of commerce filed with the state for...

    Advice for first time buyer

    Curt, while I do echo the others that have replied, I will add I have a newer cub cadet xt2 lawn tractor. While it isn't the quality of our beloved IH tractors, they aren't supposed to be. They are built to a price point. With that said, mine is 3 years old now and has approximately 240 hours on...

    You don't need brakes, they just slow you down!!!

    Power Beyond Port?

    Only way to know for sure would be to look at a factory schematic of the valve, or put a gauge on it. Because just looking at it, you will only get assumptions for answers. That could be a plug for a p-port, or it could be a check valve, or it could be a hot oil shuttle. Without a schematic no...

    Walk behind snow blower cab mod for cub

    I thought about doing that with the one for my walk behind. It would have been simple to mount on my 1650 with u- bolts through the hood. But my 1650 is just nice enough I didn't want to drill holes in the hood. But yeah... I had the same thought many times.

    18 H.P Command or Magnum

    My 18hp magnum will use about 1 1/2 gallon per hour while snow blowing, I don't have a command for comparison, but my 23hp kawasaki in my xt2 uses just over 1/2 gallon per hour, while snow blowing the same area. Snow depth doesn't seem to affect either engines fuel consumption, but I don't work...

    I added another, but she aint a cub

    The area I live in receives over 200 inches of annual snow fall on average. For example, when we get a foot or more of snow overnight, they don't cancel school, they may delay, but I've never seen school canceled for snow. If I don't put chains on, I ain't benching banks come January, let alone...
