Default What do you like doing the best?

Here's an interesting question that may or may not have been asked before:

what do you like doing with your Cub the most?

IE
pushing snow/dirt/stones etc
mowing
rototilling
plowing
running a chipper/shredder
just driving it around
snow throwing/blowing
using some sort of other sleeve hitch attachment (cultivator, planter etc)
loader

I'm going to cast my vote for mowing. I like watching the grass shoot out (never liked mulching mowers for that reason) and I love the smell & look of a freshly cut lawn.

I've only got one cub so I can't say "I like using __________ for _________."

What's yours?

1st choice: Mowing with my 1415

2nd choice: Driving my 782 and 129 around, whether it be to go get the mail or driving around at Tractor Shows.

I like working them hard. Well the 1650 at least. Not so much on the 100, the armstrong lift kinda takes the fun out of it.

I have a craftsman johnny bucket jr. look a like on the 1650 and love using the crap out of it. The hydraulics on that 1650 are so strong I can"t believe it. It'll pick up the whole bucket full of wet crushed granite. Super heavy!!

mowing would have to be my #1, right behind that comes pushing snow/dirt, then of course i like anything to really make them work as pulling logs out of the timber to cut for firewood

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.
