Default weight question on #149
what would be the total weight for a 149 w/ wheel weights and a full tank of fuel? i've got a small trailer that it fits on perfectly (1000 lb. axle weight), but i'm concerned about overloading it. any help would be appreciated.

thanks,

the grump.

Tractor is about 700#, wheel weights (one set) = 50#, Fuel (full tank) = 20#, Deck = 150#.

If your trailer is like mine with the (same 1k axle weight) your springs are softer then the 1k limit. I have carried my 122 with FEL in it without any problems. If the springs bottom out ie the tires rub on the fenders send me a pm.

With 1000lb axle weight, you've also got to consider the wieght of the trailer on the axle. Since the tractor weighs 920 and you know the trailer weighs more than 80lbs, technically you'd be over weight. It sucks that a person could buy a 5x10 with 3500lb axle and haul more weight than a 6x12 with 3500lb axle which means the items on the bigger trailer would have to weigh less. Kind of defeats the purpose of the bigger trailer unless you get a tandem axle. I was looking at getting a 6x14 single to haul the 782 and 982d with accessories but I'd be pushing my weight limit so I've got to go with a tandem axle.

forgot to add something important!!!

no deck---but i do have a tiller on the back!! should be about the same weight as a deck. shouldn't it??

i'm right on the edge of being a bit "heavy", aren't i? i'm not going to be doing any "long-hauls" with it. just around town doing tilling jobs for folks.

another question? what does "FEL" stand for?

the grump.

A tiller weighs a lot more than a mower deck. I can lift and move a deck by myself. Tiller, no way. FEL = front end loader.

If you put the tractor up front on the trailer, you will add some weight to the tongue thus adding weight to the back of your truck. If you place the tractor right over the axle, then the magarity of the weight would be on the trailer axle, and might make it close to over weight. Also, with the tiller on the back of the tractor, back it on the trailer if you can. This will add more weight to your truck.

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.
