I don't know where the chute's motor exactly comes from but I can tell you it comes from a car electric seat and is quite common.

Here is my WheelHorse 875. It weights 1245 pounds and it is great for plowing snow. Rear wheel weights are for traction and front weights are for a better steering on ice.

It is quite simple. Traction is directly proportional to weight and ground surface condition (or tire). The more weight is added and the better is the traction. Wheel's weight is surely better since the tractor body doesn't have the carry it. In addition, it provides a better energy storage...

The snow blower is not so heavy. I would say it doesn't weight more than 200 pounds. Since I installed 400 pounds on the back, it's well balanced. In quick forward move, the front wheels leave the ground.

Matt, Here is how I fit the Kubota TG2746A snow blower on my 1864. It is quite similar to your rig: I spent a long time to find a way to make it as simple as possible. It takes only 5 minutes to remove the sub chassis and the snow blower off the tractor. The snow blower can still...

And here is a better picture of the snow blower's chute deflector actuator:

Her is more pictures of the foot control on my 1864:

The snowthrower is lift using the standard hydraulic lifting system of the tractor and the chute is remotly control using 2 12 Volts electric motors. Everything work very fine.

Here it is with a Kubota TG2746A PTO driven snowblower.

I have a Cub Cadet 2185 with foot control operation and this is realy great. My 1864 didn't have this very useful feature so I decided to fit one on it. This is not as easy as it seems at the first look. There is a lot of things to take care and it took me a lot of time to implement it...

Hi every body, I am trying to find out what is the hydraulic lifting capacity of my cub Cadet 1864?
