I have owned more than 20 of these supers, these 4 are the best of the best that I have had. I don't know if I have a favorite because I like each for different reasons. The 1872 is in very good condition so I don't use except for shows. The 1572 is my work horse I use it to cut grass and pull a power grader it runs as well as the 18 looks. The 1772 is really just because I think we all want a 1772 because they are so hard to find. And the 2072 was really to complete the set. I would definitely say for work I like the diesels better.

This is probably the cleanest and best condition super I have come across. I just added the heavy duty frame plate to the back. The story is it has aruond 700 hours with an original hour meter showing 635 and a new one showing 31 with one year in between with a broken meter. Given the condition I can believe the 700. The only problem is the tins say otherwise. I believe someone changed the hood, side panels and fenders for another set. They are not bad but do not match the rest of the tractor. So now I am thinging of doing something I have not done. Paint the tins. What is speacial to me about my trators is that they are all original. I have painted the axels, hitchs and decks but never the hood, side panels or fenders. I have a good friend that has a body shop and is going to paint them.

Do you definitely notice the difference in power between the 1572 and 1772? I would have thought the higher power 1772 would be the work horse rather than the 1572. Or do you just want to put the hard work and hours on the 1572 and keep the rest for show?

Dave last year the 1572 needed a valve job, I also had the injectors rebuilt and every thing adjusted and tuned. This all made a big differance the tractor is now a beast. It is my work tractor. I think if both tractors were new there would be little differance between the 15 and 17 but right now the 15 is tuned and adjusted better so I think that is why the 17 seems a little less. The 17 is running fine but there is a differance the 15 is running better. I plan on tuning the 17 this spring then I will see if there is a differance.

I definitely want to find a diesel one of these days, not many for sale in my area. I've wondered about the power difference, the D640 has more displacement, larger bore and longer stroke. HP so often doesn't tell the story with diesels, but in this case I would expect the D640 to have a noticeable difference in power to the D600. Guess so far I've limited my searches to 1772 and 1782's, maybe I ought to consider a 1572 if it comes along.

I think you would be very happy with a 1572.

I'd like to find out! Should I just come pick up yours and borrow it for a few years? With that stable you have it might be a while before you noticed it was gone!

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.
