Only one 2 stage blower was made to fit the QL tractors. That was the IH model 364, 45" snowblower. But, you have to have the proper front adapter for that tractor. They are a very rare find. Good luck.

That's all the info you really need.... rare. If you want a 2 stage, you are better off getting a spread frame tractor and looking for a 450. Or a cyclops, and a 451. Biggest advantage of a 2 stage is throwing distance, not much else.

I already have an 1811 with a 450, and a hard Cozy Cab. So, yeah, that would be my preference.

The single stage snow throwers will move the snow 25+ feet away. Of course if it is slushy snow, that distance decreases, but that is true for a 2 stage snow blower as well.

**Watch some of the videos of the single stage snow throwers.

No way. The 2 stage throws much farther. I've ran both styles, on the same tractor even, the same year. (The 450 broke down and I had to put on a QA42A.) The 450 can throw snow over a parked van....thengthways. The single stage, just won't. They both work fine, but a two stage can throw farther, and higher.

Edit: I reread your statement, and maybe I misinterpreted it.... but a two stage will throw farther.

In NW Montana, I would guess the snow is pretty dry. A snowblower will blow a long way. You will learn about wind direction and which way to blow the snow and how high. A cab will be beneficial as the blowing snow in your face gets cold and old quickly.

Yeah Jonathan, I believe that you might have misinterpreted my statements. I never disputed that a 2 stage would not throw the snow farther. I know it does from my experience. I was making a statement about slushy snow and making a fair comparison, saying that neither the snow thrower or snow blower throws slushy snow as far as each one would throw a more powdery snow, which is indubiously true.

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.
