Default Best Front Loader?

Im about to purchase a 149 with a tiller attachment... No mowing deck

I want to install a loader? Any bolt on loaders available at all?

Or do I have to build it myself?

Also, this may be a dumb question but I cant run a mowing deck, and the tiller attachment at the same time right?

Thanks,

Steve

Kwik way will be the most common loader you will find, you can also check out PF engineering for plans to make your own loader.

No you can't.
The mower drives off PTO/ mule drive, and it is different than the mule drive that the tiller gear box bolted on back uses.
Also the mower would prolly drag on the ground you are tilling.
You can download all the instruction/servive/operators manuals free here on OCC and answer a lot of questions you haven't thought of yet.
Now on the loaders, there are those who have them and like them.
I personally think it is asking a lot of a garden tractor with one attached, it is not a "SCUT".
It has 3/4" front spindles/bearings ( yes you can modify and go to 1" spindles/bearings)
Have a #300 pound friend sit on the hood while you steer, not something you want to do alot.
Yes you can add power steering, it is not easy or a bolt in ( I have done it)
but no front loader attachment.
Just some things to consider that you didn't ask.
Now as far as the "wow factor" sure it looks nice and is handy if you use it lightly.
If you want to mow with it, you do not want a loader hanging on the front end, best to have multiple machines.
Understand this is just my opinion, others will differ and I accept that with great respect.

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.
