Nice cubs and trailer, now if you could just get an American truck in front of them.

The trailer works out very nicely. As far as having an American truck to tow it that’s not going to happen. I’ve owned enough Chevy, Dodge and Ford trucks over the years and after the problems I had with my last Dodge Dakota I finally gave up and went Jap. It has 70,000 miles on it and all I’ve had to do is routine service. If I could buy an American truck of the same size, capability and quality I would but in this size it’s the Toyota Tacoma or the Dodge Dakota.

Don't ya just hate that. 1 following you home is one thing, but 2?
 Nik,: I have a friend that has a landscaping/plow service for over 25 years. he's done buying American trucks. In the last 5 years he's replaced his service trucks with Toyota & couldn't be happier.

I am with you on that Sam. I was a die hard Chevy man for years. Then they quite making trucks. When I say quite making trucks, I mean a real trucks should not have anything but a solid axle in the front on a 4x4 period. If you use them like we do, then you will understand. If all you do is drive them around like a 4x4 car and tow a small trailer 5-6 times a year ,then you won't understand.
So I went to Dodge. I like them. built nice and solid if you get the 3/4 or 1 tons. I do some deliveries on the side for a local equipment rental business that a friend owns. I will tell you that I pull single loads that weigh more then most people pull all year combined. I also have no problem putting 4500-5000 pounds in the bed and taking it wherever it has to go. I have hauled 20-25 square of new shingles numerous times in the bed. I haven't done anything but brakes and rear shocks in The ten years I have owned my 2002 Dodge. But, my wife likes Nissans. She has had an Armada for about 3 years now and I kinda like it. She had an Altima SE-R before that . that was a fun car to drive. Make the Mustang boys go crawling home with there tail between there legs. Never had any problem with either of them. When we traded the Altima for the Armada they gave us real good money for trade. So ,it depends on what you need a truck for as to what would be the best for you in the long run. If you need a heavy truck to pull/haul big loads then I would say Dodge all the way. just stay away from the dakota's and 1/2 tons. If all you need is a 4x4 car that you can put a cap/tonneau Cover and hitch on, so you can pull a 2000-3000 pound trailer around with, then go foreign. The majority of people that have trucks don't use them as trucks , they use them as cars.

Biggest issue I had with the Dodge was electrical. The last Ford I had never gave my any problems but it loved gas. If I did need a larger truck the way things are today I probably buy a Ford just because I’m P.O.d over the bail out deal. Enough of my rant.

As far as American trucks go for me, my 1995 Chevy K1500 does anything I ask it to, from hauling firewood and cubs to pulling a trailer loaded with ford tractors, cubs, firewood, or gravel. My Dad has a 1998 Dodge Dakota that he has had very few problems with, and has no problem with having a Cub in the bed and a Ford tractor on the trailer behind it. Thats about 400 pounds in the bed and 3600 pounds behind it, with no trailer brakes. My Dad was a US Marine, so it is kind of a rule that we buy American.

Got some time the last couple days to work on the two Supers I picked up last week. Both got a bath. The 2182 is going to get re-wired. Lot’s of fun, I had to move the engine and radiator forward to make enough room to get at the wiring.
Replaced the fuel line along with the rubber grommets that seal the fuel shut off’s on the bottom of the take. Gotta love ethanol. So far I don’t see any serious problems. Looks like all the 2284 needs is a good tune-up, oil and filters and a good polishing. Decks could use a little paint but otherwise they are nice.

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.
