Sounds about right, heck an old Deere 110 only weighs just over 500--those are not exactly built wimpy either.

Well, I don't know anything about any other Cadets, but I ran my 125 onto the scales at a local show that was having a pull just out of curiosity a few years ago.

That tractor, with whatever was in the gas tank, with rear wheel weights and my home made sprayer rack, without me sitting on it weighed almost 750 lbs.

That sprayer rack weighs maybe 35-40 lbs, so the tractor itself is 700 lbs + or -, including wheel weights.

When I plow snow, I put 200 lbs of iron on the rack plus my ample butt in the seat, so all together it has to be well over 1000 lbs. It still spins the wheels, even with chains on, when it gets a big pile of snow in front of it. Don't let anybody ever tell you that those hydro units aren't rugged.

Hmm... The first two links that Ironman sent have to be inaccurate because the MTD 782 is going to weigh a lot less than the IH 782. And tractordata most likely has inaccurate weight on the 110, John Deere didn't build their tractors quite as heavy as Cub Cadet, but the 110 still has to be at least 600 pounds.

yep that sounds a lot more accurate, tractordata has the wrong weight for that too https://www.tractordata.com/lawn-tra...imensions.html

I didn't send links, I posted snips out of the IH/MTD Stats Sheet that I took the time and trouble to locate years ago.
I could send you the link so you wouldn't have to searcch for yourself but don't hold your breath.

Since we have to asume that that whomever compiled all that data is full of shit, we'll just have to reley on you speculations until somthing better comes along.
When can we expect the publishing of your book of acurate facts?

OOOK, I didn't mean to come off like a "know it all" but there is no way that 570 pounds for a 800 and 680 pounds for a 782 is accurate. And what about that old 2009 thread that I posted? https://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/...ead.php?t=1366 here it is again. I was just trying to make some stuff clear and help people out, if you would rather I not do that then fine.

Also you might expect that book in the next 10-15 years

And it ain't your fault if those manuals were wrong, I wasn't accusing you of anything. Just saying an aluminum rear is lighter than the cast iron rear.

It wouldn't be the first time a manufacturer's data is inaccurate, or a website's data is inaccurate. So in this case, you can choose one, the other, or your own opinion.

A very, very, very, very wise man just posted this to someone else and I wish that I had said it but I can't take credit....

"All of us give our time which has an expiration date,
it cannot be replaced, or gotten back.
it is given away to mostly strangers, FREE of charge.
Appreciation most times is understood and our only reward.
There are those that forget that, or do not understand."

Sorry that I butted in to your thread. Case closed for me.

To find the actual weight I could just weigh it on a big scale....

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.
