Unhappy not so profitable a day with the 1811
It's not a good pic but this is the back quarter glass on my 99 suburban. mowing a new yard, with my cub 1811, deck guard down, rock or something comes out hits privacy fence a few feet away and I don't see where it goes after that except I hear a loud pop.

I finish mowing and load mower on trailer and drive to 2 other jobs to check on trimming guy, and finally to gas station. as I take off gas cap I rest my hand on the glass and it literally falls out under my hand. I start looking and can see where the rock just got the bottom edge of the glass. looks like a $300 loss day.

Crazy thing is it was parked a good 100 feet away.

With your luck that day, the bolt is probably from the transmission!!

Lets hope not!!

Dog chains are cool also . Unbelievable how fast you can neatly wind these up around your spindles !!

On another note , my neighbor recently had her mailbox sheered off at ground level due to an errant turn by someone on an Exmark . Being Im a nice guy , I'll help that Exmark driver dig a new hole .....................blasphemy .

went back today to that yard and the renter was home, he is working on his truck parked in the grass right where I hit the bolt and starts telling me about working on it and how he was glad to get grass cut so he would not lose anymore BOLTS.

I've never checked on my cubs, but the exmark manual states that the blade tip speed is 18,290rpm.... that's getting up there. With the chute up it'll throw clippings a good 20 feet.

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.
