Default Mud on the tires
I thought I'd follow Brad Paisley's advice and get a little mud on the tires. The garden was finally dry enough to get into and work up a bit.





After I took these shots I converted her back to mowing. I see why other guys have 3 cubs now: one for mowing, one for snow removal, and one for tilling/plowing....converting all the time can be a pain in the rear. I don't mind doing it (now.)

3 cubs is a minimum, who has time to switch out attachments.

Careful on that slippery slope. I've got 3 (because that's what the fiance set for a limit, apparently we need room to park a vehicle in the garage ); during the summer I use 2 for mowing (gotta keep it interesting) and one with a blade for various chores. I'd LOVE to have one with a tiller but I digress. In the winter, I've got one with a blade, one with a thrower, and one as a backup in case something happens. It can be dangerously addicting!!

Great pics, btw; I love seeing a dirty girl...errr...tractor!

I don't like switching things around either. We have one dedicated to pusher blade duty, one with a Johnny bucket for wood and stuff, two with mowers that get snowblowers for winter, one a trailer queen and several more waiting on the sidelines to be put into service. It never seems to stop but is loads of fun.

Looks good to me!

Usually I end up with mud up the back of the seat and up my back.

The 147 looks good with the mud on the tires.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
