I agree that is your weakest point and if the bolts break out of the case...well "Farewell and adieu..." As good as a CUB is they do have limitations!

Tracti on is gonna be your main issue. Myself personally I pulled my 16ft utility trailer loaded 4feet high with split firewood covering the whole deck. BUT the 1450 was extreamly light in the nose and wouldn't have done it if I were able to get my truck back to it. I also have a home made reciver hitch on it as well. Im sure I had it way over loaded but I had to do what I had to do. I wouldnt recommend it but it is possible to handle quite a bit

With my carts and trailers, I try to load them so a little more than half the weight is behind the axle, that helps cut back on the tongue weight.

Thumbs up
Here is more of a real answer. However it's not using a hydro, which will never equal the same energy transfer as that of a all-gear IH Cub Cadet.

I towed an estimated 2000 + pound yard roller with my model 71 with k161AS. There was never any made up broken bolts in the rear plate cover. As a matter of fact, the yard roller pressed down on the draw bar and bent it down.

Real life experience. IH Cub Cadets are number one. Fact!

Due to the angle of the trailer in you photo, it is hard to tell how much trailer sits out behind the axle. Having said that, loading the trailer heavy to the back end will decrease your tongue weight.

I hauled this load of wood a few weeks ago with my 104. That trailer is has a 6'X12'X2' box on it and the load was rounded over. I started with the tongue weight pretty close to neutral, but had to add some weight back to the front to get traction in a few spots.

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.
