Sorry but a Cub Cadet is a lawn mower (even my Super's), a Cub is an almost worthless toy, a Super A up to a 140 is a tractor for gardening or raising row crops. Real tractors have live PTO and hydraulics with draft control. I know my thinking is way different than most folks on here but when you are part of the soybean planting crew at the ripe old age of 11, well you understand real quick what heavy duty machinery is. The best I can offer here is to agree to disagree.

Yes they do! And for the record we have hung two 4020's to this one and stopped them both. You ain't ever tested your patience until you are one of the 2 guys operating this outfit! I know the Cadet can't come close to what a scrape blade behind a tractor can (or this road grader), but it would sure be nice if I could do minor touch up work with it.

Sorry John, I speak fluent smartass and was just trying to be funny.

I too grew up on a farm with "real tractors" and now I just garden with the garden tractors and mow with my lawn mowers.

Yes, we can agree to disagree.

I have never seen a (road) grader with a blade mounted on the front or rear. Always in the middle regardless of how long it is.

Yes, the working dirt blade is in the center. They do have scarifiers for the front or rear. They do also make blades, or plows for the front to push snow. V plows on graders for snow removal are common in rural areas.

Another problem with mid mount blades is clearance.
They are cool though anyway

We had one of these for a while, it's a Ford 8n with a Dearborn road grader conversion kit, it was 1 of 12 still know to exist. I've often thought it would be pretty cool to build a miniature version using a cub but outside of taking it to shows its not real practical.

So we Agree!!!
If we had more full size tractors I'd like to have one that kept a scrape blade on it all the time.

Right you are about the clearance, I noticed that real quick with the Cadet. You ain't gonna be crossing no ditches or rough terrain, otherwise somebody will have to tow you out backwards.

I also noticed that the Cadet goes a little faster than I like. It seemed hard to make slight adjustments to the blade height and do it in a hurry. Maybe I just need more practice!

Never seen one on a 8N, seen a few on Farmall M's, they actually look like they would work. I think its time for you to stop painting and start fabing up a stretch frame Cadet!

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.
