Hi,
What CC models for axles with external brakes on each wheel/hub with shaft drive? Reason for shaft drive is I want to eventually use a diesel and horizontal is the only reasonable offering under $2000? The used diesel 3xxx series with axle lock are few and far between around here and when available they are over $2000 for a beat one. Reason for external brakes is safety, especially while towing a trailer down hill and I need to hit the brakes if the transaxle does not slow it down enough. I prefer disc, but, I would settle for big drum brakes. I would like a flat floor like the 2### series instead of having to swing my leg over a hump a dozen times in a row while doing tree work. I am just trying to avoid buying a Chinese UTV and the LT/GT size is really what I desire since my property is small. Plus, I want to drive slow, not fast, and pull ground implements and 800#-1200# trailers and equipment. I really want to move over to diesel, I have been using $10-$15 (3-6 gallons) of gas a week on my wide body Murray with the 17.5 HP B&S. The dinky disc brake is totally inadequate for any trailer over 300# I thought the HDS 2185 was external brakes, looks like it is an internal brake and the pads are not readily available. I look forward this week to the struggle of removing the totally frozen steering column. ![]() Thanks! |

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.
