Default Newb with questions about my new 1450
Hello all,
I have ventured into Cub Cadet ownership. I picked up a 1975 Cub Cadet 1450 with mower deck, snowblower and tiller. I have a few questions:
1) How much weight can be lifted at the end of the rear hydraulic lift hitch?
2) Are there any spec's on the HP output of the Hydro to the transaxle? IE; regardless of 16hp engine or 24hp engine, the hydro unit only passes XXHP through to the transaxle.

And because everyone likes pic's

Very nice looking 1450
And welcome to OCC. I've got the 1650 and as far as what the lifting weights, why, what are you planning on trying to lift?
They are well capable of lifting anything built for the sleeve hitch without any trouble.
Again welcome.

That is one clean looking 1450! Was a restoration already done on it, or was it just kept in that great of condition?
And welcome to OCC!

Well I would like to build a small carry all type "thing" and I think I would like to be able to lift/carry about 250lbs. I would keep it close to the tractor but it would be nice to know if there is a published spec.

I would call it a decent repaint of some of it and also kept in good condition.

It should lift 250 lbs., since it will lift a qa42a-which is around 200 lbs. or so. However, I wouldn't test it to see what it's limit is. Sorry, but I don't know the specs on it.

That is a very nice looking 1450, deck, and blower. Looks like the tiller was midway through a restoration. Congratulations on your first cub cadet (E. Pluribus Unum for your collection) and welcome to the forum!!!

From an automotive background, I would consider a 20% loss in horsepower to the wheels vs. rated to be a good guess...

That said, I'd happily pay the $50 to run my cub on a chassis dyno, but the margin of error of an automotive dyno wouldn't even touch the rated power of our cubs.

On the worst day ever, I'd say 10hp at the wheels... Probably closer to 12hp.

I don't know what, or if, there was ever a published lift capacity for the rear hydrolic life but I'd be very surprised if it was anything less than 500lbs. Hydraulics are very efficient at transferring power and lifting loads. I wouldn't use it to jack up the front of ur car, but lifting the front of a Cub is very doable, I've seen guys do it. As for power to wheels, how's this; you'll run out of traction long before you run out of power.

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.
