The QA-42/36 work fine. They don’t seem to like the end of driveway stuff very much though.
I put mine (qa-36b on a 782) through some stuff that the neighbors 2 stage walk behind wouldn’t touch last year sloppy (city plow had pushed the slop out of the street and onto the sidewalk) and it moved it about 6 feet off the sidewalk. Did the job I suppose but it was none too impressive, especially compared to my old 2 stage Toro walkbehind. The chute plugged up a few times too when it got a little too sloppy as well. They blow powder and “regular” snow great though. Even heavier wet stuff, though not as well. 2 stage is definitely an improvement, but I’d give a 42 or 36 a shot first. You can snag them for like 100 bucks and worst case scenario you have to sell it on.

I think the bigger problem is Cub Cadets and attachments are few and far between in Montana.

Everything is few and far between there! that’s why i meant to suggest he snag one before he heads out just in case. Worst case he’s out $100 bucks for a thrower that doesn’t work well enough.

Yeah, I get it..... but once he gets out there, if he doesn't like it and wants to sell it.... who's going to buy it? Unless he ships it....

blower
howdy,
been doing some research ... would like a 450 but I see estimates of 175ish lbs and appears that considerable weight is required to counter balance ... also the issue of harder steering with that beast up front. I would also have to adapt it to my 1450 ... altho I believe my transplanted 20hp vanguard would have enough oomph... It looks like the QA series blowers would be much lighter and easier to handle ... also from vids I've watched looks like loading tires / and or wheel weights with chains make enough weight for traction ... any gustimates for weight on the QA's out there ? ... B. |

As far as weight of a QA42, probably 150-175 lbs https://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/...ad.php?t=37251 I like the QA42 on my 125, it works quite well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfWy8jbj_GY It will throw wet snow but not near as far. I use a generic "PAM" cooking spray on the chute so snow doesn't stick |

125 with QA-42
Jeff ...
tks for the vids and info ... watched the vid .... couldnt see what you have on the rear wheels for weight and I assume chains .... looks to move thru the snow well. Whats the height of the QA ? think it will eat thru 1.5' of snow ? rgds, B |

I have fluid filled 8.50s and four link chains. Two links would be better. No additional weight other than my 220 lb frame The front tires NOW are tri ribs 4.80-8 ( in video they are factory 4.80-8 ) and the tri ribs steer better. I have two 125s and previously used the other one with 10.50s fluid filled and the wide 6.50 -8 front tires. That went well too but the skinnies steer better. I do have a pair of 65 lb Gilson wheel weights that I can put on. ( shown on the manual lift 125. The hydraulic lift 125 is in the video ) |

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.
