Default Stability on hills
I am hoping some of you with more Cub experience can help guide me with my new 1450.
I am considering dual wheels to add a little width to help with stability. After a little research, I'm thinking it may not be a good idea due to the fact my hill is very uneven. I call it my hill, because its not much of a yard, which is why I got my 1450. There's not enough room to be practical to use my super M . It is about 100x50 ft area. It's not too steep to run on, but a little extra stability never hurts.

Thanks in advance.

Fill the tires with liquid ballast and add wheel weights.

Those help as well

In not seeing your hill that you speak of, however considering what you've said on how steep it is, I'd be much more comfortable running duals on a CC than thinking about the Super M.

Just keep in mind the K321 in your 1450 is a splash oil system and IS NOT pressure lubricated.

I know this was an issue with the KT17 engines, but this is the first I've heard it mentioned in regards the Kohler thumpers. I don't have too many sloped areas but I have some.

Is this something to worry about as long as I keep the oil level full ? I'm not making prolonged passes at any steep angles. I know they're splash lubed.

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.
