Default Winter mowing
It's the day after Thanksgiving and it was about 65 degrees out. I was looking at the yard and couldn't take it anymore. I put the deck back on the 108 to mow and clean up most of the leaves. Here's a short action video.

Looks like you need an easy rake, peco, or trac vac Tim. Takes the "raking up the line" step out of the equation.

Cool video, my 108 does leaf duty when it's not torn down to the nub like it is now.

I have a lawn sweeper that works pretty good, I wouldn't mind a tractor vac but I don't have the extra room for it. I leave the lawn sweeper sit outside, it been sitting out for the last 6 years and is still in great shape surprisingly.

I could almost mow my place but all of my grass cutting equipment has been put away for the winter. It will have to wait till spring. Played with my Harley Night Rod instead of a tractor for a change.

Yea I definitely didn't have both hands on the wheel, if you think that's bad you should see the video I did running the lwn sweeper in 3rd gear while I was turned around holding the camera.

Nice. I usually mow my leaves better than that but this year I didn't care as much. Mowed em in a circle then mowed through the center and called it good enough.

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.
