exactly how i see it. i prefer john deere over cub but cub made a good machine. i just prefer green over yellow since ive had more luck with John Deere. more dependable, better resale, parts are still easy to get. allot of these John Deeres run the same engines the cub cadets do (kohlers and Onan) but when the engine isn't running right in one everyone assumes they are junk. if you take a look in the International Cub Cadet thread on this site, and count how many "i have a problem with my cub" threads there are, you'd be surprised. i used to think the same until i drove a John Deere 318 and a John Deere 140H3 (the 318 having the same engine the 982 does, and the 140H3 having the same engine the 147, 149 has) and i LOVED them. same with the farm tractors, don't like the IHs but love the John Deeres, compared them side by side, John Deere made the better product IN MY OPINION.
every machine has its weakness and every machine has its advantage. there is a reason why John Deere is still around today and IH is not.
