Default 6 inches of snow

We got 6 inches last nite. I have the 42" blade, 4 link V bar chains, 70 # weight per wheel and my 214#s. The 1450 did a lot better. Lot less wheel spin, especially in reverse. I like the 54" blade so I'll be getting more weight. Hung the Craftsman rear grader blade off the sleeve hitch. Figured that would be a little extra weight. I'm looking at the hydraulic split kit Extreme
Motor Works has, just got to figure out how to use a hydraulic cylinder with the sleeve hitch. I had to remove the 42" blade to use the rear blade. (Too much trouble).
My 42" blade seems to be higher on the right side. I didn't have this with the 54" blade. I'm using the same blade frame. Blade has a new cutting edge. I removed the lift rod thinking maybe it was the 82 series attaching bracket on the blade, but that didn't make any difference. Could the triangle the blade mounts to be bent/warped? Maybe I did mess something up when I hit the neighbor's truck last snow. How would I check it?
Also, the blade doesn't seem to go down enough, (float?). I have adjusted the knob you set the deck cutting height with. Should I remove this for plowing? The rear bracket the lift rod goes in is not touching the cam.
It was a light, fluffy snow. Wish I had tried the QA36A.

Nice job with the 1450. I want a rear blade like that for the 100.

Thanks, maybe I'm expecting too much from the 1450. My Sears SS12 with manual 3 point and front blade did a great job, but the manual part killed me. That's why I got the 1450 with dual hydraulics. Gotta get the blade angling set up. Rear blade is a big plus backing up to garage doors.

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.
