Default More snow plowing with the 104. Pics this time

Did the 2 driveways today. As weird as it sounds running the ags works so much better than the turfs and chains.


Also wanted to see what she could do in the snow. Climbed this hill like it was nothing.

Great photos of a cub having fun in the snow. As far as tires, it really depends a lot on the surface you are on, as well as other factors, like tire pressure, hardness of the rubber, loaded tires and weight distribution, etc. On ice or icy packed snow, the chains really do work well, but I have spun both ags and turfs 'n chains on ice before.

Agreed. The slope at the front of my drive is the worst part. With the blade up driving up the hill or backing up the hill with the chains I would just spin and slowly make progress. This was a test after adding the weight bracket and fluid filling the tires.

With 8-10PsI in the ags I can go forwards or back on snow covered pavement some of which is packed down from car tires and not spin. I haven't even fluid filled them yet.

I hear that but just be happy you have some snow! I'm at 9 degrees and still not a snow flake in sight!

Thats a hill? Here In Pennsylvania that would just be called a little bump in the yard! I had to put ags on my 149 just so I can cut grass.
I grew up in Ne Ohio I miss the Flatlands . Great plowing pics

Its steep not high. I fell down it the other day grabbing firewood because the snowy slope is not possible to walk across. Heck I Can't even walk up it if it's snow covered but the cub rolls right up.

If this was a forever house I'd build a retaining wall 6-8 feet off the garage and put a stone pad over there and a shed. And a staircase down to the garden.

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.
