Default Power Angle with a winch

I have seen ATV plows that used a winch for power angle. Has anybody done that on a Cub? I have a 100 with snow blade and it would be so much more productive if I didn't have to get off and change the angle on every pass.

I saw one that angled with mechanical rods and he had another lever to lift the lock pin

You can plan it out better so that you do not have to get off of your cub for every pass. Angle your blade so the snow rolls off the blade to the right and leave it in that position. Estimate the center of the area you are going to clear snow on and then plow about 30 inches to the right of your imaginary center line that you established. On your return pass, do the same thing, but on the other side of your imaginary center line. Then as you pass back the same direction as your original pass, move away from that imaginary center line so that you clear snow that is about 2/3 of the way over on your blade, each time rolling it to the right of your tractor. Then make a return pass, doing the same thing, as you return back to your original starting location. Each time, you are expanding out further until your area is cleared.

Sould not be too hard.
If you can find a small winch that has power in AND power out.
Mount winch vertical up near grill, attach cable to end of blade.
Wrap around winch drum a few times and attach end of cable to other end of blade.
Might need a heavy spring inline on cable end to keep tension on cable.
Your basically using the winch as a capstan winch.

Well thought out! I like this idea.

I would use a linier actuator instead of a winch.

Yup. What he said.. Even electric one should not cost much, mounts easily and should work great.

True but when not using the blade the winch would be handy else where.
An actuator, not so much.

I already looked at an actuator.. 40$ on ebay. Its a small enough amount to spend for the convenience I think even if just used for power angle

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.
