Default Leveling ruts

What's the easiest way to remove ruts from the yard?

To not put them in the yard.

No but seriously. if you have like something to push it back into the rut with, i'd do that. then if it's still not level. try adding some dirt, then maybe puling a drag or something along those lines.

I use an old Combine table chain that I drag behind the Cub, That does fairly good work.

If the rutts are really Realy deap, Then just have to add even more dirt. Thats about all I can say.

Hope that helps
Thanks
Cody

My inlaws moved a house trailer down by the woods in the back lot this spring for storage. They made awful ruts in the freshly thawed sod. I used the tiller on the cadet with the ripper and the two end tine sections removed. I set the stop so that it only cut about Two or three inches deep and made pretty quick work of two sets of ruts about 100 yards long. Then I just raked them level and put the seed to it. I think I only had a couple hours in the whole job.

When I had my septic drained, the trucks duals put huge ruts in my front yard. I was going to fill them with top soil till the old timer next door told me all I needed to do was use a pitch fork and pry the ruts back up once a day. After a week, the dirt had filled the holes and it looked good as new...

I got away with some times after it rains, you can squish them back in with your foot or a cubby.

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.
