I've been running a construction business on the side for quite a few years, and it's gotten bigger to the point that I'm ready to quit my full time job and work for myself all the time. What that means though, is a few more toys. I've been looking for a skidsteer for quite a while, and I finally bought one today. It's a White 4-30L. I don't know much about them, and neither did the guy I bought it from. From what I've researched, it has a 1300# lift capacity. It has a 4 cylinder Ford gas engine, and an enclosed cab. I ordered the manuals on it just now. Does anyone have any experience with this machine? I would mostly be using it for carrying materials around, and I'll build a platform to put on the forks and work off of, and then for moving snow around my place. It's a 1974 model, but runs real good, and the hydraulics seem really good.
I know this has nothing to do with cubs, but I always get good advise here. If anyone has any input, it would be much appreciated! I also picked up a 1986 GMC 1 ton dually dumptruck. I'm a Ford guy, but I got the best deal known to man on the thing, and since it's for my business, my wife wasn't even that mad. I love it!

GMC's only a 350. I was kinda disappointed about that myself, but it runs good!

Well, bad luck turned into good luck on the dumptruck. I was all ready to go pick it up today. when I realized the banks weren't open. I called the guy and he said he wouldn't wait until tomorrow, and was going to sell it to someone else. I got on craigslist, found a better truck, for less money, and closer. Plus, this ones a Ford, which clearly makes it a far better machine!

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.
