From someone who gets a little older and a little more broken down every day.

My decisions are becoming more and more based on "what is going to make my life easier, me a little more productive, what obstacles are going to be the bigger hurdles for me as time goes on and what to leave behind that will be most beneficial when I'm gone".

What I want and what I need, are often times two very different things.

I was thinking about keeping my cub cadet strictly for garden and snow duties and getting a zero turn for mowing. I visited a couple dealers and got prices, I made my presentation to my wife and she suggested I keep mowing with the 125 and to purchase this instead

Everyone is going to have a different point of view on your dilemma but ultimately, the decision is yours and the decisions you make today are the choices that you and your family will live with tomorrow (and beyond). It is okay to solicit ideas and advice to weigh in on your decision, so my only advice would be to pray about it (that has always made me feel good about the difficult choices that I have made in life).

Not this guy. the only green tractor I'd buy is an Oliver. As far as the ZTR mower is concerned; to me they are like snow blowers. They are great for one thing but only for one thing. For the rest of the year they are taking up space somewhere unused. At least with a garden tractor I can mow, push snow/dirt/leaves, till, plow, etc etc with it and it doesn't just sit. ZTR mowers are good for landscapers but not for the average homeowner IMO. Listen to the wife and get the party barge.

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.
