I put one on my 1200 as I plan on adding a tiller. What I found is I am not happy using it with a front blade as it reduces the down pressure.

I find myself pushing the lift lever forward as I push snow to try and scrape down to the gravel. I could reduce the tension on the spring a bit to try and find a balance but for me I feel that it is unnecessary for a front blade.

Pushing down on the lever will do no good, only give you a little bit of exercise is all if the lock out pin is not in place.

Definitely a plus , helps the deck to float better when it needs to and definitely saves saves your arm when doing work with a blade, I would not want to be without it !! Set the tension properly and it should not be an issue ! I found if scraping ice or dirt with a blade gotta push down on the handle with or without the helper .

Just wondering after moving a pile of gravel a week ago. Thinking it's a lot of work on the old arm maybe spring assist would help when it comes to plowing snow

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.
