I just bought a cheap sleeve hitch off ebay, I may put it on my Cub Cadet 2166, It keeps shredding belts while mowing, so it may become the implement tractor.
Hi. Have you had any problems with your transmission using the XT1 for ground engaging? I've read that the K46 transmission used in lawn tractors don't last long if used in this way.
The mount is called a sleeve hitch. You can purchase a lighter unit for around $200 on Amazon $300 at Lowe's or Tractor Supply or you can fabricate your own or buy a used unit for much cheaper. Hope this helps!
Right. The differentials/transmissions are built so weak and lightweight on Lawn Tractors, compared to the heavy cast iron ones, on older garden tractors.
I bought one recently and just put it together. THAT'S what that hookie handle thing does (hold down cinderblock) . I learned something.

You should only put load on the transmission in full power, cooling is proportional to belt speed.
What is the mount on the mower called and where or get? Thank you!

Dont wanna buy a used mower from you,lol. That's just a lawn mower, not a garden tractor. That little transmission ain't gonna tolerate that work.

That K46 just had it's life shortened. At least you can rebuild them.
No offense but there is so much wrong with this, using a lawn tractor for ground engaging, not taking the mower deck off
