Since I got my 2000 series and have been calling around dealers and lawn & garden shops for parts and maintenance, I’ve had a few people tell me that it’s a good tractor and “one of the last good ones” that CC made. I even had one guy even tell me that even though MTD bought CC back in the early 80s, they “held on” to the brand and remained separate until like the past 10 years or so.

Is there any truth to this? Are the late 90s CC the last good ones? I know I’ve seen some of the newer ones at the store and they all seem to made of plastic and the CC logo is tiny and not noticeable, as the old ones were all metal and had “Cub Cadet (by MTD)” proudly on the display.

I know some people will say the last good CC was made by IH, and I totally agree. But what about the post-IH era? What’s the last good one there?
