Letting a deck ride on the wheels probably wouldn't work here because some spots of the land aren't exactly smooth. My 1864 with the 48" deck can handle it as well, I can set the deck where I need it and go without riding on the wheels if I need to. One thing I've noticed about that deck is if I get into anything too high the output gets clogged up, I think because the support bar across the underside of the deck at the opening seems to catch longer clippings and cause a backup. My ford deck had one of those and did the same thing so I cut it off and now the grass flies out of it with no restrictions. I don't want to do that to the Cub 48" deck.

Thanks for the good advice...

Yeah, that deck bar gets in the way. I'd cut it out if it was mine. You can always weld one back in if you needed to.

Oh, the Lo-Boy will work ground just like a Cub Cadet would. It will pull a 16" moldboard plow. I'm not interested in mine because of it not having a rear PTO, and I need something that is larger for row crop work. The Lo-Boy is too wide to straddle just one row, and too narrow to straddle two. Plus, it won't pick up my 2 row IH cultivator high enough to be able to use it.

Maybe I should see one in person. It is hard to judge the size from pictures. I have a brinly plow and cultivator for sleeve hitch and my Jacobsen is perfect for that. I don't think a bigger tractor would work for that.

Actually I looked at my deck more closely, and that bar is bolted in. Even better yet... It's "Cub Cadet 703-3511B-0637 Guard, Finger". I don't regularly stick my fingers in there so I don't think I need a guard for my finger. I think I can do without 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.
