Experience watching others here try everything under the sun: NO.
Your idea isn't new. It's been tried.... and tried..... and tried, but countless others.
Why does everyone make such a big deal about the QL's and the rubber bushings??? Every other Cub Cadet series ever made, save a couple models in various series (all Kubota engines, '82 series with single cylinders) all were mounted solid. No one ever complains and whines about the other million machines with solid mounted motors shaking and rattling. I don't understand why no one will just buy solid mounts from JeffinPA and be DONE with it. Simple. Fixed. Corrected. No playing around. No messing. DONE.
NOTE:
The '82 series with rubber mounted motors used a different set up. I don't know why but it works so much better. I have a 1050 with the rubber mounted motor.... mounts to my knowledge are original, and it doesn't move around at all. Actually, they were mounted pretty solid.
