Default 54" RAD Snow Blower for 1872 etc.

The RAD is a Canadian built unit. This one is 54 inches wide, 2 stage, and first used on a Zero turn mower. It was modified to be used on an 1872 (1872 not included). Complete with one lever release undercarriage ready to work. 12 volt motorized chute control. I'm not sure what, how much, I might ask for it.

Questions?

What is it worth ?

Default 54" Rad 2 stage blower update/info

A good time to get ready for snow - so - some background info and hopefully pictures.

Apr 11, 2015
I had my 1872 ready for plowing or blowing the snow this past Winter. I had fun plowing with hydraulic lift and angle, so much so, that I plowed the snow from a major portion of my lawn for kicks. The heavier blade did some scalping making for added work cleaning up the mess. The lighter Sears dozer blade I've used in the past tended to only skim the grass - seldom taking a divot. The tractor was outfitted with chains & turf tires, wheel weights plus a weight tray in the rear.

In hind sight I might have put the RAD blower to work clearing a 7" snow we had - biggest single snowfall of the Winter. BUT I didn't so the test will come next Winter, maybe. After building the undercarriage mount for it my friend tried it out on his 1872 with only 2.5 to 3" snow so I know it works but that wasn't the horsepower test I was hoping to give it. The mount is in two parts to make it easier for me to store and install it. Final attachment is with the drive-in quick hitch.

With all the snow some folks have been faced with this Winter does nobody have an idea what this 54" wide snow mover would be worth?

Using the SWAG method, I would think $300-500.

Find out what a new one sells for and go from there accordingly.

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.
