Default Quick Question -Height of steering wheel
Looking at picking up a 129 tonight but don't have the trailer with me and have the cap on my truck.

Anyone know if It can squeeze through about 43" ?

I think this has been done before, you may have to remove the steering wheel, though. Others will know for sure, though but it never hurts to be prepared.

Height on a 126 is ruffly 40" and I don't think the 129 is much taller.

I have had to loosen my topper up and left the back of the topper while someone pushes the tractor in. Then just secure your topper again.

According to the Data Sheet for the 1x8/9 series, the overall height to the top of the Steering Wheel is 39-3/4"

Just went out and measure my 125 (not the 129, I know I know). It measures up about 41" at the highest point.

Should go in!

If you have issues, let the air out of the tires. You could lift cap if you take wrench but I'd rather not!

Don't forget that you can let the air out of the tires as well.

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.
