Default 1000 - No Creeper Towing?
I know stopping is an issue, but just pulling straight, how much can I safely move around in 1st gear? Can I pull a yard roller that weighs 400 pounds? What about my empty utility trailer thats 900? (I'm talking just moving it from where its parked to somewhere in the yard?) Can I move more?

Thanks!

I moved my old trailer around with a Cub all the time and it weighed 1500 empty. I should mention that I had good tires filled with fluid and the brakes worked properly, my old yard was also fairly flat.

Your Cub will pull a lot more than you might think. There are guys running stock 10, 12, 14 HP etc Cubs in pulling competitions all the time. The sled that they are pulling weighs much more than your empty trailer and it is not a "rolling load" meaning there is resistance made by ground contact. Braking of course is another story.. However, I moved a small popup camper on mostly flat ground with my 1211 with ease. The camper weighs 2900 pounds and the tongue weight is probably 200 pounds. Anyway, only do what you feel comfortable doing and take your time if you decide to try moving your trailer.

My 100 pulls a 900 roller every spring.

I think I will use my 128 with creeper to pull the roller because the 128 has turf tires on it.

My concerns would be what you are using for a draw bar, what do you have for a hitch, what kind of condition is the casting at the base of the rear end where the 3 bolts are that will be taking all the load, how much tongue weight does the trailer have?

You could do what I did and build a hitch that ties into the side bolts for added strength.

I think this thread was related to pulling with a creeper gear. Unless I didn't read it right.

Maybe I interpreted incorrectly but I think the OP might have asked the question that way because he thought having the creeper in low would be necessary for towing his trailer. From the sounds of it, his tractor would tow the trailer without a creeper gear

Default Creeper gear stopping.
Our little tractors can pull a great deal more than they can stop.

A load on a slope can jackknife you and leave you with nowhere to go and nothing to do but pray.

The OP was talking about an empty trailer weighing 900 pounds. His tractor will handle that pretty easily even on a slope.

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.
