I had a 782 with a blower that was ok. it required matching the speed and keeping the mouth full as mentioned earlier. I had weights and a counterbalance on a sleeve hitch. all Vinyl cab. I think a cab is essential for any blower. Now I am in a 2182(last year made) for the last 15-20 years. It has a full metal sims cab with glass windows. 451 blower. I installed a reverse pitch radiator fan and most the time I have to snow blow with the door(s) open it gets so warm inside the cab! I swapped the plastic chute for a JD metal chute. I have cut additional teeth on the chute swivel - 270 degrees. I can exhaust snow within an inch of the windshield effectively blowing it behind the tractor. I blow over gravel so the blower is always full weight on the front axle -the power steering makes this easy. 451 is very heavy so the mass of the 2182 makes it move easily - I still need to run foam filled rears and 75 pound weights. there is a three point that I have a scraper box and linear actuator to allow operation indepented of the shared lift front and rear. This also adds to the counterbalance for the weight of the snow blower.

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.
