Longest I have drove is 1hr 45min to TEETS house to pick up my new 682. Everything I have owned I have acquired locally.

10 minutes or less....anything over half hour is not worth it in my opinion.

I reckon that would depend how much you want the particular piece of equipment.

Bought my first cub in Iowa, to use in Texas.. But I cheat a little, I regularly drive 1200 miles a week for work.

A couple weeks ago I made a 700 mile round trip (roughly 350 miles each way) to pickup a 1A tiller...since the first of the year I would guess that I have put close to 2000 miles on my truck chasing tractors and implements!

You forgot to include Motel and meal expenses at that distance.

And at slightly further than the 2000 miles you have to include an oil change cost for the truck.

Soon laundry will have to be included.

But this is still overall a cheap hobby, especially when you think what a trip to New York city would cost to get "Guido" to smash your hands to look like "the cops did this to you"!!

At least I can say when I made my trips to NY I was able to swing by Niagara each time... This past May ended up being a mini-vacation, took my wife and boys and took in all the sights. Nothing like having all the locals see a truck with WV tags and a cub 73 in the back! Oh, and all the kids toys my wife found at yard sales! So I guess I could start a thread "what's the farthest you've ever went for a yard sale"!

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.
