Default Hello

Hello all, nice to have a site to turn to. I currently do not own a cub cadet but i have been looking for one recently. I live in New York so it would be nice to have a snow blower, mower, and rototiller option. I just have some questions about what attachments will fit on what tractor. I know the difference between the narrow and wide frames but still looking for information. Like currently I have seen a model 2 tiller attachment for sale but will that fit a narrow or wide frame tractor or does it not matter for the rear? This will decide which tractor to pursues, feedback is appreciated.

Hi! Welcome to OCC!

Most likely your going to need a hydro drive garden tractor with hydraulic lift for tiller work. An all-gear drive with a drive reduction gear box and optional spring assist, or hydraulic lift is the old option. Both will work, just a matter of which tractor is in the best mechanical condition, when your time comes to purchase.

Jump in, check out the many forums,...the folks here are great and willing to help like no body's business!

Alright so I'll jump on the tiller and scout for a hydro lift tractor for it! I appreciate the response, I just wasn't sure if narrow or wide frame mattered for the tiller attachment.

I did find a nicer running 1200 for $200, sound like a good deal? Would it still run my tiller and what not without any issues?

A Quiet Line model 1200 is a 12hp K301 AQS engine with electric pto, and a gear drive transmission. To operate a snow thrower/blower for the 1200 model, the first requirement should be a creeper gear. This garden tractor also has a manual implement lift handle. For me, a manual lift is not hard for me to operate, being 41 years of age and in great health ( knock on wood ) . An electric lift, hydraulic lift, spring assist are options that's going to aid in the implement lifting action.

Please research the Quiet Line models first. There is a huge cash of information about them. Member Deltacub whom considered by many, to be a qualified expert on these models. Do check in at the CCC/MTD section of the forum. Many hydrostatic models with ported pump and hydraulic lift might be what you are aiming for. Such model would be a 1211, or a Cyclops Super.

Going to throw in a IH model 123, and 125 as other great options , as well as the 129 and 149 series of garden tractors as well. Other members can fill you in better than I. But a $200 1200 might be a great buy not to pass up. You will find having designated tractors set up with specific equipment is a easy way to not need to switch out implements for various tasks. If you can post pictures and detailed information about the model 1200 and post it in the "what's It Worth" section of the forum!

I would look for a 129, 149 or 169, all three are wide frame hydro and can have hydraulic lift. The wide frame tractors are easier to work on than the narrow frames and the hydraulic lift is a nice addition. Welcome to OCC, good luck with your purchase!

Hi Marko....welcome to the forum.

You've gotten some good advice and you're on the right track looking for a maintainable, sturdy old cub to do snow duty with.

Make yourself at home!

Might end up with an 1864, wheel weights, chains, 2 stage blower all ready to go. Still need to find a tiller though.

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.
