Default Most comfortable?
Which is the most comfortable Cub Cadet you've driven and why? I've only ever been on a 125, 147 and 782. I like the set up feel of the pitch/height of the steering wheel of a 147 combined with the spring of the seat.

982 for me, longer frame, big tires, smooth ride. Only thing that could make it better - power steering.

My 782's with power steering and smooth opposed twins.
No sore shoulder or knee from a clutch.
Only thing better is a hired hand to mow while I sit in the shade

What I said and they have tilt steering wheels. I'm old and lazy. I'm all about the cushy.

I think my 72 wins that contest, there's just something about the pan seat on a spring.

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.
