weight rating for '49 cub hitch

ericlb · Jan 14, 2011

just thought id ask, my ford tractor ate its starter drive and it dont have the hand crank pulley so the little cub gets feeding duties, its got a danco c2 belly mower on it and no drawbar, but the mower has a hitch on it, im pulling about a 5 or 6 hundred lb trailer[ old 60's pickup bed with a trailer house axle] with 250 gallons of water on it at times and 2 small square bales of hay, several tools ect the usual junk, not having any problems, but the little cub knows its hooked to something, how much weight can the mower hitch take? its just a flat plate with 1 reinforcing angle brace on it, attached to the mule drive , thought id ask i dont want to mess up the cub

If you're on mainly flat ground I think you would be OK. The mule drive probably bolts to the same two holes that the drawbar brackets bolt to. The mule drive is likely a stronger component than the standard drawbar and brackets. Cubs are tough little critters.

I have the same setup with the mower brackets and draw bar. I pull a wood trailer that comes in at 1000 lb and hold about half a cord. This would be at least 2500lb or so, i have no problem what so ever. The Cub its self has 3 sets of 'A' weights on the rear, two sets on the front and the 54A snow blade.
