The plow does a fantastic job, I am very pleased with its performance. The fellas at my local Cub dealer cautioned me that it may not be powerful enough to move much snow, they were worried it would not perform but I showed them clips of this and they were surprised.
@@iambigsteveo Very cool. Our XT2 is a KT725, 42” and has either a 20 or 22Hp Kohler engine, can’t remember. I figure if the snow is too deep, I’ll still need the walk behind snow blower, but most of the time I should be able to push it with the chains, weights, and such. The spring mod from the reviews I’ve read is pretty much a necessity. Cool video, thanks
Yeah you should be able to push a decent amount, I have heard the transmission may be the weakest link though. I forget the model, but the one built into my machine, GX54D, has their strongest which will have no issue pushing heavy amounts. The trans used in the other models aren’t built as strong and may have problems when pushing too hard. Either way, it seems like you have the right idea, leave the heavy lifting to the walk behind snowblower when needed.
I think they each have their own pros and cons. They both clear snow very well, but they are both at two very different price points. If you can swing buying the snow blower, I’d say do that because you can only get so far when pushing snow. If you push snow right to the edge of your driveway at the beginning of the year, you won’t be able to move it and have no where to push for the next storms for the season so you need to plan ahead where the snowblower just tosses it and you will have no issue with snow placement.
It held up fantastic for the remainder of that winter season. Worked like a charm. I suspect this would help tremendously with pushing dirt and of course snow!
hi, where did you buy this spring set for your plow i have the same one with the same tractor, and i have the same problem, thanks N.B. I live in Quebec
Hi Michael, I bought the springs and eye bolts off Amazon. I hope the links work for Canada citizens. You will see that at first I tried without the original spring and just the two springs I added. It was not enough, so I added the original spring back and now I am running all three. Good luck! Springs www.amazon.com/dp/B00R8M971Q Eye Bolts www.amazon.com/dp/B07J6SSDJB
My 2554(the XT3 is basically this now) snow plow has two springs like that.
Very cool, I'm considering getting one for our XT2, running that snow blower is a pain, I look like Frosty The Snow Man when I'm done.

You can get a snow cab and be protected
Great info on the cub cadet plow, there isn’t many videos on it. I just got one myself
Congrats, you’ll love it!
If you had to do it all over again would you get the cadet plow? Or a snow blower. I’m torn and my blow just went out.

I just mounted the all season plow and the first pile of dirt i hit, same problem. Did you stick with this solution or did you change anything?
