I used this to level my driveway, pulling tracks and a few radio control off road dirt tracks:

When I was younger I was part of a side business that would finish yards on new construction sites. We also did septic jobs and other stuff. We would go in with our Ford 555 (backhoe) and get it as level as possible with out spending to much time. Then we would rototill the whole thing maybe 3-4 inches deep. Then run a rock hound through it. Then we used a cheap old beat up mtd lawn tractor (nice and light) to pull around a 8x8 piece of chain link fence. Those yards are still as smooth as the day we put them in.

Sam

Looks like a 10n, and judging by the paint on the blade, a new one! Ive logged many of hous on 9's not too much on the 10's. We had 2 of them. I pushed a bunch of 637 scrapers and 657's. Talk about movin some dirt, you get a couple of good pan operators togeather and they make short work of taking off the over burden. The biggest pan I ever hauled was a 627 and dozer was an 8. As far as rock trucks it was the articulated 50 ton's, and a 988 loader.

Oh how I miss the days of striping coal.

The 4ft model we have and it takes forever to do the sections that need consent attention. As budget allows we've added reclaimed asphalt to the hills so they take less maintainance.

Lessons learned: Do not try to use in sod, heavy leaf/needle covered areas. The grader will plug up and becomes ineffective. Teeth on ripper could stand to be longer as they do not always reach to the bottom of the potholes.

Truly the best way to move dirt is with an IH TD 25!

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.
