Tom, WELCOME! How heavy of a trailer or car are you planning on towing? One thing to keep in mind is the Cub Cadet might not have a problem getting something moving, but getting it to stop is a whole other issue and if it's too heavy the weight will certainly overcome the traction of the Cub Cadet. You mention a hill, that has me concerned if you plan on towing something that weighs too much up or down that hill. Just something to keep in mind.
Thank you Kraig! I've pulled my utility trailer filled with mulch with the 128 up the side yard with no difficulty (pulling or stopping). It's a 5X8 trailer, around 500 lbs empty. I figured I had 1,500 pounds total with the mulch. The hill isn't super steep, but I had tried the same thing with my LT 1050 and the hydro wanted NOTHING to do with it. That was the whole reason behind the purchase of the 128. I just need tractor and weight! Hoping to get some AG tires in the near future and source out a pair of wheel weights.
I had really researched for a while what kind of tractor I wanted. I read about the indestructible cast rear ends on the older Cubs, but also wanted a wide frame. I read those were easier to work on, especially if you wanted to add a larger engine at some point.
This weekend I'm picking up two classic cars, both non-running. We live on an alley, and I want to use my tractor to pull the cars off of the trailer and coax them into their parking spots to save my back. I won't be pulling them up any steep inclines. After two hernia surgeries (the first from playing trumpet!) I'm all about trying to keep myself healthy!
