sometimes folks forget that one can turn the thrower off and use it as a blade in special circumstances. Like doing gravel driveways where you don't want to throw gravel into the lawn (so it grows in the spring) I've slowed the throttle and "wind rowed" it near the edge, then pushed it to the edge of the drive, come spring only a little raking is needed instead of a big job. Us old farts are lazy. |

In my case, while my snow removal equipment isn't Cub cadet, I have 2 of the same tractors, one with a blade and one with a 2 stage blower. I did the impeller mod on the blower, and it made a huge difference. Last winter I played with both plus my 28" 2 stage green and yellow walk behind, and hands down the blower on the tractor win out. There were times when I didn't think that there was enough snow for the blower, so I pulled out the tractor with the blade, and went right back to the one with the blower on it. Except for the heaviest slushiest of snow, I had better luck with the blower.
That said, I haven't mounted the blade on the other tractor or chains either yet but have everything here if needed. I do 2 driveways of my own, plus anywhere between 3-5 of my neighbors every time the snow machines come out of the garage. I wish I could come up with the extra cash to blacktop my 2nd drive, as I am getting tired of snow removal from gravel. |

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.
