Nice work!

How much "tongue weight" do you think that receiver hitch can lift?
Do you raise the hitch at all while pulling a trailer -- do you raise the hitch to level the tongue I guess is what I mean...

The sleeve hitch will lift me up (185#) and it will lift the hitch on my trailer which I can't lift myself. Guessing about 250#


I back up to trailer, lower the ball, back up a bit to get ball under receiver of trailer, raise it up and go. No need to raise the tongue jack. Makes moving trailers around very easy.

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.
