Hello from Western PA
 

Hello Everyone!

I bought a new Cub Cadet XT3 GSX last fall and came across this site looking for tiller options/ideas. I knew a tiller wasn't offered anymore when I purchased the tractor and at the time it did not matter to me. After a couple months, I thought man it would be nice to have a tiller attachment and I even started wishing I had just bought an older cub (My dad has an 1862). After seeing shotgun wedding's setup and alot of searching, I think I am going to attempt to somehow modify a tiller for my xt3. I also have plans to turn the snow plow into a power angle via electric actuator. I do like the XT3 and am not here to debate old vs new. If I can help anyone out with any questions on a newer machine, let me know. :beerchug:

Welcome to the forum.
I live in Northwestern PA, in Crawford County.
Where abouts are you from?

I am about an hour north of Pittsburgh in Clarion County.

If you have space and cash availalbe, have you considered getting an older Cadet just for everything besides mowing the grass? You could probably get by with a machine that has some minor issues and is built nice and heavy for grunt work. You'd only have to switch implements about once a year, unless you wound up with a host of gardening stuff. This way your grass machine is always ready to go.

Welcome from Central PA I am not familiar with the new machines ability to do ground engaging work. I learned an expensive lesson trying to make a lawn tractor do snow blower duty. The tranny blew out and could not be fixed. With my son we own the older IH built machines and three CCC super garden tractors that allow us to do just about anything we want to do.

For the right price I would consider buying another but would prefer to just to have one for now.

Here's a picture of my first cubs I'm up to three.

Some nice looking cubs you have there!
