Plus if you get more snow later in the year, it's much easier to throw snow away from the driveway than to try to get past the mounds from earlier in the winter. |

I have a qa36 a that i ran on my 129, then put it on my 1450. I have a cub cadet wind breaker cab that is a "must" if you dont want to wear snow down the front of your coat (and inside aswell =) I have a 1864 that I have ran the blower on also. Previous to the blower I used a blade. Blades will go thru alot of snow, If you have 4wd, chains, weights, etc... For moderate to deep snow, a blower, hands down will beat a blade. The flip side is using it on rocky drives, streets, sidewalks, etc is dangerous. I have had good luck with a blower in Heavy wet snow, and Light Fluffy snow. Just make sure your belt is tight and as mentioned by others, the chute is painted or lubed. However a draw back to a blower over a blade is the huge amount of wear it places on the steering mechanism. Blades do not, but Power steering fixes that little problem =). Go with a blower, find some weight and you will never hafta worry about a 2' drift!

Snowblower, anything else would be a joke for me. Don't have a blower on the cub, but I have a single stage on the simplicity and a two stage on the craftsman. Both 42". If it is fluffy the single stage will clean house, wide open in high gear and the stuff is gone. After the initial pass on heavy stuff pick a gear and take a pass just wide enough to load up the machine.
The two stage is different by all means. The augers will only feed so fast to the impeller. Usually run in first or second on a six speed. Take passes wide enough to load the machine and just chew. If the snow is light or not very deep, discharge to the front of the machine and low so as to build up enough heavy snow to launch the stuff. Biggest storm was 30" in about 8 hours last year, overnight of course. 18" of wet snow at a whack is nothing out of the ordinary. |

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.
