HELP! Club Cadet 1440 or Plow Truck???
Hi all - brand new to the forum. We're moving to Maine (White Mts.) and need snow removal advice. We have a 500' very steep driveway which we'd like to plow ourselves. We have two choices: a pickup truck with plow (an old beater we'd buy that wouldn't even be street worthy and would be used exclusively for plowing) or a small tractor with a snow blower atttachment. We currently have an opportunity to buy a Cub Cadet 1440 with 700 hrs (ca. 1995) in exc. condition that includes a 44" 2-stage snow blower, weights/chains. This tractor is ready-to-go condition, and is 14 hp, hydrostatic drive. Would this be as good or better than a pickup w/plow? Am I making a mistake not getting a 4x4 drive? I am concerned about the steepness of the driveway and the quantity of snow. Is this thing going to be hard for me to learn to operate? I am a total novice, female, and not exactly a youngster (to put it mildly)! Is there a cab available as an add-on for this size tractor?
Anxiously awaiting your two cents - the seller has many interested folks and is "holding" it for us til tonight. Price is $2175 (also includes 42" mower deck w/3 rear bagging system) - is this fair? G. Berry

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.
