Deck style preferences?
I mostly play with wide frames and quietlines. (1200, 1250, 129)
I have a few mowing decks here in various conditions and stages of disarray ha ha… from 44s (can't remember whether I have A or C at the moment, I know what has to be swapped, to convert between an A or C deck to make them work on a given machine) also I have a 50 (C, if I remember, not looking at it at the moment) and a couple of 48" triangle decks. I have a 129 that is next to get its turn in the garage and get going/ get the bugs out of. This deck will be set up to be used beneath that tractor. I have a "parts" 1650, that will donate its hydraulic lift goodies to said 129. If all else was equal, all in "good" usable condition, between the various decks that can be adapted to a wideframe, and you had a choice of decks to put onto this 129, which would you use, and why? I'm talking quality of cut, ease of getting thru occasional "heavy spots" without having to remow (within reason), suction, clearing ability (How well does a certain deck "throw" the clippings clear of itself) in average conditions? (I know wet grass comes into play and other factors, that's why I specify "average") one thing that seems to be around here, is that replacement blades seem easier to come by for the 44/50 decks than the triangle decks, which has me leaning that way, over using a triangle deck/ which would be more "period correct", I guess than anything. but mine are not show pieces, so I don't care a bit about that. I have mule drives to go either way. and deck center drive pulleys of various belt widths so I have that aspect covered. Ideal setup? Which series of deck, what kind of blades do you guys prefer? (I typically prefer as high of a high lift blade as can be had), not interested in mulching, or bagging. I prefer to "mow and blow" and to mow an extra day sooner than "has to be" mowed rarely let yard get outta hand. flat Illinois ground/ no sidehills etc, Most grass around here is kentucky Bluegrass/ fescue mix with some ryegrass. looking for opinions on best "bang for buck" setup. Mowing season is a few months away now, I want to be ready and want to have the "most ideal" setup ready to go when the snow leaves and the grass starts going crazy on me. Trying to decide which deck to "attack" 1st.

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.
