cub plow question

ericlb · May 12, 2010

im still learning about these tiny red tractors, [ i grew up around a C and a M] but didnt work on those a whole lot, saw a picture of the plow mounted on the cub, on the left side there is what apears to be a bracket with a roller on it that rides on the drawbar in that pic, the "complete" plow that came with my new/old cub[49} does not have this, what is it? do i need it? wanting to plow a garden next year with it,iv'e got bigger tractors around here but thought using the little cub might be fun,

Got no idea what you're talking about. Can you post the picture?

I don't know of any roller that attaches to the left side of the drawbar. The only time something attaches to the left side that I know of, is the special "double" depth control used with the two-way plow. But still, that's not a roller. It's another eyebolt and another "dogbone" assembly.

All you should need is the plow bolted to the right side of the drawbar, and the depth control assembly bolted to the right final drive of the tractor. There's an eyebolt that attaches to the drawbar, and that dogbone linkage I was talking about earlier.

That roller is a rolling cutter that cuts the soil ahead of the point on the moldboard. Its purpose is to make a clean cut in the soil the cutter could also have a bracket with a small triangle shaped anc curved piece that would turn the surface trash over thus leaving the turned soil clean with surface trash inder the turned soil. You chould get a manual that appears on e-bay quite often then you will kmow more about mounting and operating the plow for the Cub

Hmm, gene may be "translating" things correctly...

If you were talking about the plow's BEAM, when you said "drawbar" that makes things much clearer.

The drawbar is the U-shaped piece that hangs between the wheels on the Cub. The beam is the "bar" that connects the plow bottom to the drawbar.

Indeed the "roller" you are talking about may be a ROLLING COULTER, or simply coulter. When I think of a roller, I think of something with some width that mashes dirt down, not a thin disk that cuts through the dirt.

It does just as gene says. Coulters are most useful in sod or ground with lots of trash (i.e. corn stalks), to cut the sod/trash ahead of the plow so it leaves a clean furrow, instead of tearing the sod up in clumps, or plugging up with corn stalks.

ok the link in evielbowevil's post is the pice im asking about, the one that bolts on the left final drive assembly, the plow i have has everything that plow has, even a small piece on top of the moldboard to aid in turning the soil over i guess, but that other seperate piece i dont have, do i need that? and what is it, watched a u tube video of a cub plowing without a coulter on the plow, looked like he was having a real hard tome working it , mine has all that looks hardly used, point and shin and moldboard and landslide all look very nice
will post a pic of mine when the wife gets home, its HER camera, she is very plain about that lol
