Considering the OP was referring to leveling a yard with a Cub, I think this thread is heading way off topic with machinery that can level mountains, instead of yards.

My uncle and I used to pull a 2x8 with cinder blocks on it behind a tractor to help level off a field. It did a pretty good job and the wood, cinder blocks and chains to pull it with are cheap to acquire. It was like a giant sled in a way and for the money, it was cheap enough and easy to build.

keep your blade on an angle to the center line of tractor. a few passes will see dips and gouges disappear.

Is that your TD? Man that in nice shape! I think we had TD 6 in the navy and Cat D7 with the manual angle blade. I liked the Cats over the Ih to run.

And to stay on topic that other thoughts stem from one and we all arnt like Johnny Cash

I have used a set of disks to cut the top soil and then use bed springs from a local farmer or the 2x8 with blocks. We did the combination of the bed springs and trailed a couple of 2x8s to be sure the coastal seed got into the soil well out back in one of the horse pastures.

I would like to try one of those DR's they do make a good product. One thing I like is this David Bradly atachment for the garden. We use it alot in there to level up and get old plants out.

Talk about movin some dirt, you get a couple of good pan operators togeather and they make short work of taking off the over burden. The biggest pan I ever hauled was a 627 and dozer was an 8. As far as rock trucks it was the articulated 50 ton's, and a 988 loader.

Oh how I miss the days of striping coal.

That was an 11N at the Cat proving grounds in AZ. The dealer we did biz with took some of his customers out for a few days and we got to play with the cool toys. That thing had an impact ripper on it for ripping hard rock without blasting. Also got to play with a 988B and a 992C

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.
