Just got back from the local pull. Took first place in both classes I pulled in. No trophy this round, but I did win a few bucks. It was a good day.

Your gear advice helped the most. The competition either pulled in first gear and spun out early or tried to pull in second and bogged the engine down. The 20% underdrive I used worked just right pulling in second gear.

Here are a couple of pics. All dressed up and ready to pull. Those are one of the last pair of new super lugs on the planet.

The rain finally let up and we pulled this weekend. Two more wins. I managed to increase my distance by 30 feet this time. The At101 tires worked really well. That and the tractor is well balanced now. Learning to ride the wheelie and steer with my weight. People are starting to fish to find out what I am doing right. Several came by to complement my tractor for running so well.

The last run was a lot of fun. Towards the end, the front end was up in the air and ground speed had slowed to almost nothing. I was ready to shut it down but I was still moving forward, barely. Rode it out and got at least two more feet out of the ride. It was a good day.

Didn't do so well today. Got a second and third place finish. The track is a clay track. Progressive pulls have created a gravely consistency to the surface. As a result, you start digging trenches early on. I am thinking about reversing my tires. Does anyone think this will help?

And pull the loose dirt to the center of tire? Bad idea.

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.
