Location dictating availability
 
just curious to see what tractors are most plentiful in certain areas so post up your general location and the tractor you see the most of for sale in your area.

im from indiana pa and 60% of the tractors for sale in my area are 126 or 127.

I see a lot of 129's in my area (Midwest). I've owned 5 myself, but I am seeing more 125's and 126's recently come up for sale.

Seems they all are pretty plentiful in Illinois. Condition is the kicker here. Most of the tractors I find are no-runners, or been sitting in the corner of the shed for a long time.....or in the weeds. :angry: Finding a runner that people just want to sell is harder, and then they want a mint! :bigeyes:

Within 50 miles of my house there are exactly NO Cub Cadets ANYWHERE!

I live close to J-Mech here in east central Illinois. There seems to be an abundance of Cubs in this area. Just last week I went out to look at a 682 and 782 that I bought. Found an original,100,1450, and 1650. This past weekend I found another 682,1250,149 and 1811. All but the 149 are for sale.
Seems I just stumble across Cubs every week!
I think there was a very strong IH dealer presence in this area. I'm sure that's why some areas are still very Cub "fertile".

Around Waynesboro, GA it is hard to even find an older cub. There are a few newer MTD cubs once in a while that are mostly ragged out.

Northern Shenandoah Valley.

QLs are everywhere around here.. Narrow frames are scarce...

This area was and is rather expensive with houses on several acres or more. People needed strong garden tractors and could afford the expensive (at the time) Cubs...

Im lucky to live where I do, I can go onto craigslist and search for cub cadet and get a few pages of result wih 50 to 60% being old cubs. I have a friend that lives in ohio that comes home about once a month so I always check craigslist in his area to see if I can score a deal and get cheap delivery but its llke cubs don't exist up there.

I find a good amount of cubs that have been sitting in the weeds but most of the time people just want rid of them so I can usually get them for under 100. I've been lucky so far because I have yet to drag a cub home I couldn't get running good enough to flip it to the pulling community we have here.

Seems like the most common up here (North West/North Central Illinois) are the Quietline's then I see quite a bit of the 682/782's and and 1x9 series Cubs.:beerchug:

PaulS 06-03-2014 09:18 AM

Around here there are always some older models listed on craigslist or pennswoods. The kicker is they think the yellow paint is gold and have listed some rediculis price that they want for it.

Which part of pa are you from? I from indiana about 45 north of pittsburgh

Berwil 06-03-2014 10:38 AM

Around here you can have your pick on clist. Narrow frames, wides frames, 82 series, attachments, even a 2082 super, as well as all the new junk. The cub crop is plentiful between Philly and Allentown. Prices are all over the place, some are outrageous, most are ok (certainly not Lew prices) but I'm sure most are negotiable.

I'm near the Fayetteville, NC area. You see none of the older cubs here. I see a lot of the new ones though.

PaulS 06-03-2014 03:48 PM

I am from central PA.

drglinski 06-03-2014 03:55 PM

In South East MI for sale? Mostly 2006 and newer tin cadets. I have seen people using 1X6/7 and the 1X8/9 models within a 10 mile radius of my house though.

Sam Mac 06-03-2014 04:05 PM

SW VA. It's more like what is a Cub Cadet? Oh yeah they sell those at TSC. Almost everyone is a road trip.

Ha ha.... yup.... Nearest thing that shows up on Craigslist is around Roanoke or down toward Mt. Airy once in awhile.
