I've been driving cub cadets, along with my dad, grandad, and great grandad.... (lol) since i was old enough to be let on the seat. I started out moving stuff around the barn lot with dad's red 782 when I was about 5 or 6. (This will show my young age.) That would have been in 1985. Grandad has a 1969 71 he bought new. (Not currently running) I mowed yards in the country. All bare min of 1 acre. Some of them 2+. I use my cadet like a tractor. I have no idea how many hours I've logged behind the wheel. I know that the 782 had about 3000-3500 hours on it when dad got rid of it. And I'm sure I put 3/4 - 2/3 of them on it. I know on mine I average around 100 hrs a year..... so I guess I'm old school.

@J: That sounds old school as all else!

@Cubby: I just wish I had the heart "Monster Garage" my 'Mustang' into mowing duty!

All things considered, I guess I'm fairly new to the Cub Cadet world, I got my first, a 109, from a Great Aunt after my Uncle passed in 1990.

I hafta agree with cubby102 though, I do things with my Cubs that I don't even need a Cub to do them with.

I don't get all the seat time that I want but I do get quite a bit.

[cubby102]

Haha I wish they never stopped that show. That was the first episode wasn't it?

Here is something kind of funny I didn't mention... I said I mowed yards as a kid in the country.... Well, we farmed, and my dad drove a truck. Since he was gone about 3-4 days a week, and when he was home he was farming.... I had to drive the cadet to where I had to mow. I have driven the old 782 about 5-6 miles away to mow!!! LOL! My grandad's house was 2 miles, and I mowed his yard. I literally wore the tires off of a home made trailer we had that I hauled gas and the weed eater in!!! Ohhhh, GOOD TIMES!!

Weed eater? Was no such thing when I was a young'un. Corn knife!
Anyway, I started with a push mower. Then pa bought a used 76 and I thought I was walking on high cotton, had the world by the butt! Used to take about four hours with the rider, a lot longer with the push
1992 I bought a brand new CC 1330 LT (I KNOW IT'S NOT A REAL ONE) and I average about 100 hrs. a year = 2100 total, up until 2010 when I picked up my first real IH tractor.
Now I use them at times, but still use the LT the most. Plenty of seat time, but old school is anyone's definition.

Old school.... Owned plenty of "tractors" or shall i say given to me since 1975 to cut 12 to 15 lawns a week 1/4- 1-1/2 acre lots, got my first cub for my dad in 1990, still own it today.... But all the rust piles of other machines couldn't hold a candle to our cub, as everybody says " nothing runs like a deere"..... Thats why i bought a cub!

I've leared how to plow with a moldboard plow and IH Cub Cadet 122 in 1968. That was 45 years ago.

I've been killing grass on a Cub since 62 when my Uncle bought an O.
