I think that is one nice looking Cub ya got

I think most if not all your qeustions have been answered. I am simply offering my opinion. I like the rear PTO for show quality benefits. You can run corn shellers, feed grinders and other various implements for show. I have used mine (I have two, one on a model 800 and one on my 100) to show something different at shows. It's nice to have something different. The kids (and adults) love to see it run. I am all for getting our youth interested in the hobby. As for the wife, I started with a model 126 that was passed down to me from my grandfather about 15 years ago and have owned over 250 since that time. She will get over it:biggrin2.gif:
P.S. Please don't tell my wife about this site.
