Cub GT 2518-48

[Rainbow6]

My 2518 is a 2004 purchased at Knightdale Tractor in
(of all places) Knightdale NC. Check out this link to see the specs and year model.. Powersports Network

(My deck is different than the one shown though, mine has the extendable arm supporting the anti-scalp wheels.)

looks good !! time to trick that bad boy out !! switch all the tires to some Carlisle turf master 4 ply's or Super lugs in rear & turf master in fronts (but make it a 16.5 x 7.5) ....

Makes a world of difference.....the headlights can be updated with 50 watt 1156 bulbs by Blazer (not halogen)...your neighbors will love you at every turn !!

Happy Cub ownership!!

Thats a fine machine Rainbow6! I hope you'll keep us updated on how it's working for you. I'm just itching to get one myself!

Hey Cubmaster... how do those rear tires treat your lawn? I'm sure they are great for traction, but do they tear up your yard under normal operation?

The tires do great their not hard on things like you might think. Here's a shot from the rear [image]

Due to the light weight of our mowers compared to tractors the ags may not cause a problem. When I was using a rear mower w/ my Kubota L3010 I began to see a kind of "deer path" being worn where the treads meet at the centerline of the tires. Be sure to vary your pattern from time to time or this may happen. All the weight of the mower is concentrated toward the center where the "gripping" part of the tread is highest. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Great pics and great info Cubmaster! Do you use any attachments? I will have to maintain about 100ft of rock driveway and have been thinking about the dozer blade. Any info on that?

 

[cubmaster]

No I don't have any attachments as of YET /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif but i'm already driving the wife nuts about all the stuff I "NEED" and a dirt/snow blade is one of them. I hope to have a blade soon but most likley will be after the holidays. What kinda tractor do you have, or are you getting dmanspadge?
