In one of your posts you mentioned that you raise the blade in order to avoid scalping the lawn.
Would not more traction on the front result in tearing up the lawn while trying not to scalp it? |

My pre-retirement job was plowing the sidewalks in town with a Ventrac. It was 4wd and 31 hp, but I was able to plow through a consistent 2 feet of snow and 4 foot drifts with the push blade. The tractor got great traction from the all terrain tires like the ones Jon has in his post. They hung onto the side of a hill when mowing also. They could give you enough traction to do what you need.

V61s with bicycle chain in the grooves. Seen it done before looks like it would work pretty slick

That sounds like a great idea! I was driving through about 6" of snow during that last severe cold spell we had here. I turned left in the snow and the 72 kept right on pushing straight, even with the 56" snow blade up front. Had to back up and try again. I'm thinking that front chains could bite when being pushed like this, and help prevent the front from sliding.

How about getting a back blade and driving in reverse??? And if you had turning brakes would even be better.... Or better yet how about putting snowmobile ski's on with carbide runners???

The Snow Blade is what can scalp into uneven sod. The tires with or without chains will not tear and lift clumps of sod. Yes, on wet or muddy areas the chains will mess up the sod but I'm talking about frozen ground at this point. Chains will run on top but snowblade will grab and lift.

It's hard to explain my Scenario. I'm not doing a sidewalk, I'm not doing a blacktop driveway. It's a long downward slope ( on sod) about 20' wide that has a turn in it. I need to get the snow on the of the turn which makes for a very bad situation for the tractor to get traction. Without the front chains , I have been backing up and straightening the wheel and playing that game to get the snow where I need it. I was simply looking for a fix so I can run this 600' run of 20' wide area without playing games. Just hoping to go one direction to the end of the run, Turn around, change blade angle and come back.

Kubota L3400 is more like #2500. Unless you had loaded tires or wheel weights on it.
Here's my questions: *Was/is it 4x4? *Do you still have it? *Have you bought and installed tire chains on the front of the 782? |

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.
