Default Comparing 1872 & 1811 deck height
20170409_145449.jpg
After doing some reading here, I decided to use the 50c deck. Instead of the 60" deck. I understand 60" deck under a older m18 is a strain for the engine. Maybe someday if I do a repower with a larger engine.
But the main point of the photo is notice how much higher the deck is on the 1872. Both mowers are in the full up position and wearing 50C decks. The extra height will come in handy when mowing paths in the woods.

Got no idea why one lifts higher than the other. I will tell you this about the 60" Habans--they barely clear the ground. Driving from dads house to mine over a very nice farm road the front gauge wheels constantly bang the ground. We don't dare take it in rough terrain. Just thought I would pass that along before you ever swap the 50 for a 60.

Are you sure that 1811 deck won't go higher? I've got one on a 782 and seems higher than that.

I have two 1811's both mow about the same. When we mow at the farm the Scag is set at 3 1/2" and the 1811 almost full up, as you can see by the grass. I would assume the 1872 with taller tires was designed for the 60" deck. I'll put a ruler to the 1872 and 1811 next time at the farm.

Don't know were the problem is but my 1872 with a Haban had no issues with clearance...also the M18 spun it up with no problems even going up a substantial hill... Engine had 900+ hours..

Clay, I noticed that your 50C decks have the front gauge wheels. Is there any way you could take a picture of them and the mounting bracket? I would like to add a set to my older 50 that only has runners on the front.
Thanks
Tom

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.
