Farmall Cub

Hi, I know this bush-hog is too big for a cub, its 5' and when lifted up the front end of my SA is light (pop the clutch too fast in 2nd or 3rd gear n it becomes a 2 wheeler) LOL BUT the idea will work for a 4' bush-hog that would fit a cub fine.... would just need to adapt the bolt pattern for the cub drawbar. Here are the pics and hopefully those here can make one for a cub and have as good of luck with reclaiming your land... I tested mine on trees way too big but it seemed to do ok (except one tree that was so big that when I tried running it over it actually lifted the front end tires off the ground. (it was about 6" diameter) but the 5" and smaller ones were all cut down fine (though the engine did almost die a few times when chopping up those trees as they were over 10 ft tall

Note: The cub's pto is reversed so make sure the blades can be flipped or sharpen the back side as it will rotate in opposite direction than most other pto driven implements. The chains go from the front of the bush-hog to the lift arms to pick it up... The 2 triangular shaped plates on the front bolt to the drawbar, BUT you must have the type of drawbar that can rotate up n down (like the one used on a 193 plow) Have the drawbar in its normal position though, NOT reversed like when used on the 193 plow !!!!

Hope this helps....

So you have done this on your SA? Is the PTO on the SA standard?

The Cub’s is not. Not only is the PTO on the Cub reversed, but it also spins at 1800 RPM instead of 540. I don’t think I’d be comfortable arbitrarily spinning up a mower to 3.5 times its design speed. Use a Hub City reducer/reverser on a Cub to correct the PTO issues.

I'm trying to wrap my head around a SA pushing down a 10'+ tall 5" diameter tree and chopping it up and not breaking anything or flipping the tractor

We used to have a 5' bush hog with a shear bolt and a gentle tap on a rock would shear it every time.
