Default Towing with a Cub Cadet 122
Hi guys,

I need to haul compost. Would a cub cadet 122 tow about 1200 pounds?

thanks Thad

Doesn't take much to tow 1200 pounds, especially if it's on a trailer. Your 122 will handle that with ease.

The 122 Will tow it if you can maintain traction. Just make certain you can stop it.
Edit: I'll elaborate a bit here for the safety issue involved. Locally we had an operator of an older, larger tractor miss a gear, brakes would not hold the load and he rode the tractor down a hill and crashed it. He did not survive.

I pulled a small dump truck with my 125 about 1/8th mile with no ill effects. Go for it.

I agree, It will pull until it runs out of traction.

Stopping it is a WHOLE different ballgame. Please be careful.

I've moved my 18' fiberglass I/O boat with my 125 ( loaded 10.50s and 65 lb wheel weights ).

Moving was not a problem but stopping was shall we say "exciting". The weight just pushed me forward with the wheels going full reverse.

I use the Jeep to move the boat. Be careful

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.
