I have been informed by my local dealer that Cub Cadet makes a snowblower. He has stated that the Cub is the high end of MTD. Anyone have feed back on this ? Good, bad or how do they perform.

The engine you have at 16 horsepower when used by cadet still had the starter generator bolted to it. <br>

Art this statement is not true. All quiet line (QT)cubs had engines with starters. My son has a 1450 cub and it has a starter. My manual also states a 1650 (16HP ) has a starter.<br>
They came out in the mid 70's till 1980 before MTD took over.

Thanks Richard for getting back to us. My 284 is in better shape and paint wise after 230 hours than when I bought it. I keep it inside and always wash it after use. Sometimes it gets a good work out. I have repainted areas as they needed it.I am fussy this way. My Kubota is the same as my Cubs.<br>
<br>
For Chief, I also installed my ZL-20 FEL. It took two people and was not bad to do. However it is not quick att. I would not take it off as I think it would be a pain and time cosuming. This loader is not in mind of changing front attachments.<br>
<br>
I never take mine off as it is used most of the time. I never added the extra support to the rear axle but have planned to as others say this is better. I lift up to 1000 lbs of stumps steady and don't see any point being stretch or weekened. I have make the forks so they att. to the bucket.

I own a Kubota 3410 and a Jinma 284. Please let me know who sells the Kubota for the same price or even close as the Jinma.I know my Kubota was 2X the price. Yes it is better by far but if you only require small useage and want to save money then the Jinma is the way to go.

On another note I don't like persons that don't own a Chinesse tractor coming on this board and bad mouthing them. I don't go on JD,Case or what ever board that I don't have no connection with.

Some Jinma owners are looking at this board to start using. One of the things that we don't need is people that only want to start a fight.We use the board for support and ways to help fix problems among ourselves.

People like Blake are babys and is only looking to stir the pot. How he is on this board. Why does he not stick to what he now owns? Not a Jinma anymore as it was beyond his capability.

I added a top link to my compact tractor. It works great for the snowblower and for the wood chipper. My drive is gravel so I start the season with the blower tilted up and as the snow packs and freezes I tilt to be more aggressive.<br>
As for the chipping the bush is never the same pitch and the chipper needs to be level. It also helps to clear the ground when moving over hills as I can tilt it up high.<br>
<br>
I used a cyl. From TSC and welded a turn buckle eye to the end of the shaft. I think the cyl was 8" by 2"<br>
<br>
As others have posted I would not be without one now however the first cost to set up is high. It helps if you can do it yourself.<br>

With the money you save the cost of belts will be cheap. Also the blades turn over so you have 2 sides to use. Will need metric wrenches to work on this unit.You will also find out that if the tree has a Y branch it cannot stick up. If so it will spin on the feeder. You then turn the tree 90 degrees and it will go through. You will find out what I mean when you use it. Best of luck as I know you will be happy and if you need info give me a message.
