Can we make things any cheaper?
This one was sent to me by Cub123.
http://www.generaltransmissions.com/...tractor/rt-400 Evidently these are being used on a JD sold by Lowes. Gotta wonder how long these will last. I can see it now, "I towed my sweeper and it blew up" I don't want to hear it about Cub Aluminum tranny's after this.  Make sure to view the video at the bottom.

They have a nice sales pitch for a piece of garbage. The only part of the whole trans that I like is the VCT portion of it. It's amazing what they make from plastic. As drglinski stated I will keep my 40 yr old cubs for another 40 yrs.

Marketing says.......that they have to keep the price of the tractor under $1499.99 and they will do it.
I'll stay with my old Cubs...

OOPs, I will not call it garbage, right off. You might have to eat your words.
CVT is a great concept. I bought my daughter an ATV with a CVT transmission in 1996. You can come over and still ride that machine at my place. 17 years and the CVT is perfect. The second one we bought in about 2004 is also perfect. As far as the plastic molded parts,  I lean towards plastic more than most, if done correctly.I can not favor a company that does not use spell check (Axel) (Break) They have to hope their transmission does not have that type of break.

On the other side of the coin though the cvt technology has proven itself pretty reliable through out the years at a fraction of the cost of a hydro. My son in law has a cub lawn tractor and he is the type that "it had better start, mow the damn lawn and not be seen until next week when needed" kind of guy and that tractor works great for him and the millions like him. Guy's like us would turn those poor little machines into garbage fodder within 24 hrs. that's why they make very expensive sub compacts. So the moral of the story is to keep those old cubbies running boyz !

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.
