Default Built a new Cub hauler

After trying to unload a Cub from the back of a F-350 with no ditch to get the back tiers into I learned it is;
1. unsafe
2. really stupid
3. you need really beefy ramps to hold the weight of these GT's

So after using a friends trailer the next few times, I decided to build my own utility trailer.

Version 1.0 had a full four foot tall gate. I decided I wanted a bi-fold gate so I started version 2.0. Then I decided I wanted to use the trailer to be multi functional and be able to haul my kayaks on the weekends. So a built version 3.0 that can convert back to 2.0 with 4 eye bolts in about 1 minute.

Nice looking trailer, Never seen a folding gate before. Pretty cool how you added the kayak racks.

Dad still did a bunch of work on Cadets when he retired back in '91. Had a guy come to pick up a quietline. Fellow must have weighed about 250. He drove a 1 ton dump truck. Tilted the bed somewhat then laid down two 2X10's to drive up. Both boards snapped at the exact same time dropping the rear on the ground. The boards he had were whatever this lightweight white pine is they build houses out of. Dad's loading boards are made from yellow pine, hard to find but very strong. Even then we prefer to push or winch the mower, not ride it!

Looks good! That's lots safer than like you said. I remember hauling my 1211 home from mom and dads. It didn't have an engine, so I used a come a long to winch it up into my truck! It was under an over hang in a hay barn. That was a heck of an angle!! Wife made comment yesterday it would be nice to have a small trailer to haul stuff and my Cubs! Now the convince her to get a big enough one! Lol thanks for sharing!

That folding tail gate is a great idea. Very nice.

People have told me a 147 will fit in a bed of my s 10 but it's the weight people forget. Trailer looks great. The only time Dad ever put a c.c in a truck bed was when he brought his 782 home in the back of his work truck- Ford f650 and moved it with the attached crane.

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.
