Default Weight of a 149?
How much does a 149 weigh?

I'm truckless right now, all I have is an '06' Toyota Corolla, and I have a lead on a 149, just not sure how to get it home.

I read on another forum that IH claimed the shipping weight of a 149 in 1972 was 870 lbs. This is third hand information but seems plausible to me.

Level roads, not over 45mph, you are OK.

Over 45mph, you will have a harder time stopping!!

That's too heavy...it's probably about that much including the operator.

Thanks all, I guess I'm not going to try to pull it with the Yota. I think I can get my hands on an F150 for awhile so I should be golden!

Where's the picture of the Honda Element with the Cub in the back?

I liked that shot! Who'da thunk it?

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.
