Since the 42" blade on the 1966 Cub Cadet 122 didn't want to cut thru packed dirt, I put the tiller on the 1968 Cub Cadet 125 and attacked it.

( not shown in the pics but if you lift the rear guard and back into the dirt, you can cut it down / reduce the height pretty quickly )
Then I jumped on the 122 to move the fresh loose dirt around.

The area turned out pretty good

Here's what it looked like before I started

The 125 with the 1A tiller, 10.50 fluid filled tires and the 122 ( creeper gear ) with the 42" blade, 8.50 ags and 60+ lb each wheel weights
