Nice! but you go to slow...lol just kidding.
I love this tractor this is my first winter with the snow blower on it and I will never use the 4 way plow again.
I was using a 28in walk behind snow blower and that driveway would take me at least 30 to 45 min with 3 in of snow, Now it takes me 4 minutes and 45 seconds to complete.

The keys to having a single stage snowthrower work best is WOT and keeping the auger loaded. As you could see in my video, it'll handle up to 12" of snow with ease

( I've attempted more than 12" of snow but it goes over the snow thrower )

You throw snow driving forward as fast as I push it.

I have run out of places to put it. The blower will not clear the pile in some places. The blade is just pushing against a 6ft wall. I spent a day with the FEL scooping it up and over. Seemed to work the best but .... Uncle!

Two more weeks until the Month of Spring....

I've only got two cubs, 1450 with chains front and rear(10.5) as I have off camber terrain to blow and if its over 8 I'll blow. I keep the blower two inches off the ground to clear the gravel driveway and prevent spring time clean up on the roof where the gravel seems to end up. 300 lbs of weight behind the rear tires. Other is the 149, shes my workhorse, 54 blade, chains on filled rear tires(8.50). Does a nice job, been thru two edges from extreme motor works. Use the blade alot more. The 1450 works hard blowing the snow and theres a sweet spot with speed, depth and wetness of snow Im still figuring out. Need more snow. Not much this year in our area(not complaining).

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.
