How hard is the soil?
Does it push more on first pass?
How deep are going on first pass?
Turfs or ag tires on the rear?

how much ballast do you have on the tractor? You're breaking fresh ground with the tiller? Around here everyone I've ever known has plowed 1st, tilled 2nd....

With a Hydro you are going to get the inherent "Push" that is why alot of users have gear drives for this type of application... I used a 1650 with a tiller that had both extensions and in hard ground it pushed also....Just learn how to work between forward speed and depth as you go for the first couple of paths as it gets much easier as you go....Also take a shallow swipe the first time out.... Lift as you get near the end so it is a smooth transition in and out of the garden....

Are the Tine's on the correct way? I had a neighbor that always complained his tiller never worked good an always wanted to take off, one day when he was fighting it I walked over and noticed his was on wrong. Never complained after that

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.
