I have a 44C deck on my 1811 and the problem I have with it and every other mower I have ever owned is that I cannot mow back and forth on a hill side and get consistent passes because of the mower deck tipping on the down hill side. The narrow support system used to raise and lower the deck is the cause and the fact that the deck is not balanced from one side to the other. I have tried just about everything including an electric actuator to raise and lower one side of the deck. The problem is that when I am on the side of the hill I cannot determine where neutral with the tractor is as to the deck angle. If you want to see what I'm talking about just raise your deck and push down on either side and you will see what I mean. It will be easier to push it down on one side than the other. It is usually the discharge side that is longer and heavier and if I try to pre-load it to be neutral then the other side will tilt if it is on the down hill side. I have tried the wheels down approach and do not like that because I lose the depth control. I agree that any four wheel mower like a zero or a tow behind will always out cut a deck mower. There is just no way to make the deck and the tractor maintain a 90 degree relationship with the deck raising system on them. Any ideas out there?

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.
