Some seat time on the Super with the new toy
Not even a week ago, I picked up a Swisher Rough Cut Trail mower for a steal of a deal (borderline Lew price). Problem was, it didn't run. It stated in the ad that it did, but when I got on site, it could not be made to run (did have a new battery, though). We used jumpers to jump straight to the starter to see if it would even crank over and it didn't. So he went into his shop and gave me a new in box starter for it, so I loaded it up and took off. Got home, installed the new starter, cleaned up a lot of the electrical connections (still some more to do, though), re-ran the ground straight to the engine, and tried again. Nothing. After much frustration, I found out that the wire going from the starter to the solenoid was so corroded it wasn't making connection
 Cleaned it up, tried starting again, and it fired right up. Ran it for a bit and then changed the oil. So, naturally, I had to take it out once before the snow flies  She worked well for me, although the blades obviously need sharpened.I will note; just about anything you can cram under it it will cut. BUUTT, I'll be sure to wear a helmet next time, see pic 4 & 5 of the sapling I chopped up conking me on the head On to the pics!

I'd like to figure out how to come up with a way to mount one of those in front of the tractor.

Would be neat, though. I wouldn't think the attaching it part would be too terribly bad for someone with a welder and some skill, but you'd have to replace the wheels with some sort of caster that allows it to turn with the tractor, unless you just want to go in a straight line

Looking good Ryan! Maybe a good idea to hang some chains or strips of old rubber tire on the front to knock down things flying at you.
For the front mount....piece of cake. A QA bracket on the tractor with a pin to the mower so it articulates. Connect a hydraulic cylinder to make it articulate; power the cylinder with lines T'd to the power steering cylinder. When you turn the steering wheel it steers the deck.....wallllah HaHa Bill

Looks like it works pretty good, Ryan!
So, is it basically a bush hog? Do you have a pic from underneath? Just curious, and I cant find any pics of how it actually does the cutting. How many blades are on it?

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.
