Ok, so I did it yesterday.
![]() Is it unseasonably warm and dry anywhere else?? It's NEVER this warm in February. Honestly, the years I can remember it being this warm in February the rest of the year wasn't good. Either HOT and dry (as in drought) or warm and rainy into June. Hopefully it will just be like the almanac predicts..... a mild summer. Anyway, I figured I'd get a jump start on the garden and turn over the fodder so it can rot. I won't plant it for a while. Next week it's supposed to return to colder temps. Pics, cause it happened!! 20170220_172107.jpg20170220_172114.jpg |

Very warm here for the last two weeks. 71 today and it's a record.
Hope that almanac is right. The plowing looks good! ![]()

Its dang near hot here, for Feb. Not supposed to get below freezing for over a week. We normally see 1 or 2 days in Feb that hit 70 deg. By the time this weeks over it will probably be around 10. I chisel plowed about 7 acres of corn land this afternoon--no mud at all. I have seen that field be muddy from Oct to March--drove right through a wet weather spring like it wasn't even there. I got a feeling we are in for a drought this summer.

Did the "skinnies" improve the traction?

I hope your wrong..... but I have the same feeling. Every time we had a Feb like this, that's what happened.
![]() On the rear? Yes. Narrower tires have more pounds per square inch on the ground. I get same or better traction with those non-lug 6's than with a 10.50 lug. On a big farm tractor that has lots of weight, you can usually go to a larger tire and improve traction, but there is always a point of diminishing return. A Cub is no different. Comparatively, the difference between a 6" tire and and 10.50" tire is like the difference between a 18.4 farm tire and a flotation tire. Like I said, I'd prefer an 8.50, but that has more to do with ride than traction. (The 6" tires tend to "teeter" side to side more. At least on this tractor.) Plus, an 8.50 holds more fluid. ![]() |

You know, funny you say that because it's my a$$ that's sore!! Riding sideways on that seat is hard on ya!!
Seriously though, I put spring assist on it last year, so the plow lifts easy. Tiller..... now that sucks! Even with the spring assist cranked down, it's still hard to lift! |

Is the 1050 like the 582 Special? If so, any chance you can send a picture of your sleeve hitch setup?

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.
