Default Front Blade or snowblower for 1862?

I am seeing that the 450 snowblower is the model for my 1862 tractor, correct? Has anyone made simple mods to fit other models? There seems to be a lot of narrow frame snow blower attachments for sale, but I can't seem to find a good deal on a 450.

Also, what snow blade will fit this tractor? I have weights and chains. How you all feel about the blade vs the thrower?

thanks

Default 450 way to go

I have 2 2182s with 451 & 450 blowers. My 2 cents is with a plow, that once you have a wall of snow.. where are you going to put more? I can blow my snow 30-40 feet from the edge of my parking lot and not have a pile to deal with. Plows are fun and I think they would be fun spreading dirt. If you don't have the room to throw the snow, then you would need the plow and just push way past the edge from the first snow. Like I said.. Just my 2 cents.. Don

I have the room for either. Currently I have an 11 hp ariens snow thrower, and it is difficult because I live on a lake and the wind is always blowing at me in the ideal direction that I would want to blow. The drive way is about 2 cars deep but 8 cars wide. I end up blowing one direction and then I end up reblowing the same snow as I move over, because I can only blow with the wind. This makes it hard because I have to take half cuts and for heavy snow I end up losing part of my driveway because the walk behind will not cut the bank I formed blowing in one direction. Was hoping the tractor would throw it further, of maybe the plow would work.

I had a big walk behind blower for 20 years and the cub with a blower is a totally different beast. Walking with my blower I would end up soaked in sweat and very tired. The cub with blower is just so much easier!!!! The snow in my parking lot sometimes needs to move 100 feet. I just start in the back, aim the chute to blow onto the ground 15 feet in front of me and just keep moving until I get to the grass. Very rarely have I needed to only take a half bite. More times then not people with snow blowers are sending the snow too high, causing just a snowy mess. I LOVE my 450/451 blowers. I have a 54" plow but never use it. Don

Default 2182 Cub Cadet & 451 blower

Nothing to do with this thread as its not my parking lot, but our Wisconsin cabin driveway. I'm blowing up into the air due to no wind, but kinda cool with the sunlight.

I have used blades and a snow thrower and several 2 stage blowers. Last year I started with a 54 inch blade on my 2084 and it did well in only several inches of snow but if you have much of anything over 6 inches of snow you can run out of push kinda quick with a blade. My 451 or my sons 551 on our 2084 and 2086 it does not matter how deep the snow is I can clean my 125 ft drive and the front of my 2 car garage and a 2 car parking at the end of my garage and have no piles or snow lines to deal with. Yes with a blower there are a few time you have to blow into the wind and that is not pretty but once I get a pass done I can blow with the wind. Which do I like? I like both but the blower get the nod.

"I am seeing that the 450 snowblower is the model for my 1862 tractor, correct?"

Ron -

Sorry to burst your bubble, but your 1862 needs a model 451 blower. Has to do with the gear ratio and PTO pulley size (search for all the other threads on this topic; there are plenty).

My 1862 came with a 451 blower, and both are stock.

As to the question of blade versus blower, everyone has their own opinion. Up here at 8,000 feet in the Rockies, we get some serious snow. I have a 200-foot driveway, and the terrain is uphill on one side of the driveway, downhill on the other. With the blower, I can throw snow on the uphill side for the entire winter. With a blade, I could do that for about the first snowfall. For me, it's no contest. Once you've had a two-stage blower on a Cub, you'll never go back.

By the way, if wind blowing snow back in your face is a problem when using any snow blower (which it always is), keep your eyes open for a cab (mine's a Bercomac). Great investment!

Jon

I have a plow and thrower. Had the plow first, since I bought the thrower, the plow has never been back on the tractor. Thrower is faster, and easier on the tractor. Plus what everyone else said about snow pile management. Get a cab, and you'll be happy.

The early 1862's used the 450 and the later ones used the 451. Just look at the PTO pulley. The smaller 4.5in pulley uses the 451 the newer larger 6in pulley uses the 451. A quick check on partstree will tell you what you need to know.

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.
