Well for me it was an old friend that used to work for my dad. We called him Moose, he used to tell us stories of the antics of the cub cadets in the mountains of Tn. About dragging rocks and logs, plowing and cutting grass for hours and the cub never tipping. Flash forward 20 years I meet a guy who has 30 of them and it reminds me of the stories Moose use to tell. So just by happanstance, about a year later I found my first cub the old 126. The disease started to set in now I have 3 and am really wanting to graduate up to a super/diesel..These are flat out awesome machines...

i like my old narrow frames cause i can push stuff without breaking grill, pull stuff till breaks tires traction and no belt slippage. over 40 years old and cut grass better than any other tractors ive had, maybe cause decks are so rigid i can stand on them without bending or breaking. ive had one newer cub a couple deeres and a few craftsmans and they all seem like powerwheels compared to the tractor feel of the NF cubs. in all fainess though my 1330 cub was better than the craftsmans and the deeres as well.

I'll have to agree with what everyone said.
A lot of people in my neighborhood use Craftsman as there is a sears that is less than a half mile away. I occasionally check out the riding tractors that they offer and can't believe that there is what seems to be thicker steel on my hood than the mowing decks of them and how expensive they are. I've also never liked the vaccuming sound they make when they are mowing. Kids growing up around me had tractors that were manual and I sure missed the hydrostat when they would let me drive them. (not trying to start a hydro/gear war here) Dad also used to haul us around on our wagons when he was mowing too. He had a clevis that would go in the handle of the radio flyer wagon, or we would ride in the trailer he had made for it. It was worse when we went from the front to the back yards because "there is too much stuff back here" for us to continue following (IE swings, trees, etc.)and dad would reach back, pull out the drawbar pin and leave us sitting there as he drove away. Good times.

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.
