I am new to the Cub Cadet world. I have been gathering information for awhile now and I am looking for any advice on using a 125 for full on hard work. Plowing and tiller work being the primary objectives. I truly overuse equipment,not abusive but hard work non the less. Any advice on a tiller? Is one better than another? Any advice on a snow thrower? Any advice on a garden plow? Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Can't answer any of your questions but someone here can. Would like to welcome you to the forum.
Welcome Ron.
Does your 125 have the rear lift setup? You will need it to use a tiller or plow on your Cub. A spring assist will help with lifting the heavy tiller and snow thrower. You’ll want an extended sleeve hitch adapter to clear the tiller gearbox so that you can use a plow without having to remove the gearbox. A 10” Brinly plow is the best size for your Cub and is the easiest to find.

Ron, WELCOME!
For snowthrowers look for a QA42, or a QA42A. I use a QA42 on my 125 and they work great. You'll want to keep the auger housing and discharge chute free of rust, and to really help, paint the inside area of the auger housing and discharge chute with a graphite paint.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I am new to the forum world also,might have done this incorrectly. Do I need to move this conversation? I am loaded with questions. I am grateful for the advice on the tractor,all help is appreciated.
For ongoing discussion of your 125 it would probably be best to start a new thread in the "IH Cub Cadet Tractor Forum" area, as that gets the most traffic here. That is the area for discussing the IH built Cub Cadets, which the model 125 certainly is.
David, that would be awesome. Text me if/when you know for sure. 614 668 4172 Thanks for thinking of me.
We also moved this conversation to the IH Cub Cadet discussion area. I fouled up with where I started this. One day I will learn.
