Could not have said it better myself. What i might add is that the pool of Cub Cadets available and prospective buyers are probably still the same percentage wise. But as time goes on the number of Cub Cadets available versus the number of people interested will also shrink due to Parts availability and features of the new machines such as the John Deere 700 series and sub compact tractors with the abilities they have and not having to go turn a wrench every time you want to use them.

The other thing that takes value out of these Cub Cadets are reproduction parts or people's ability to build their own stuff and make the Cubs a better machine. 15 years ago if you found a Cub Cadet with a category 0 3pt And dual hydraulics you really had something. that was a very expensive machine because, in general, people werent making or doing things like that. It just seems like the cub world has peaked or flattened out maybe even on the decline from what I see in my neck of the woods.

Just a side note the economy still sucks and it has for the last eight years and it's going to continue to suck for a while. I don't care what kind of phony baloney numbers they give you on TV or on the news or in the paper or the bathroom stall walls. Our US economy is in the toilet and that just flat out of effects extra cash people have for this Hobby
