Ok, ok, I'm done. Back on topic.

This posting makes me wonder, does anyone on this site have a subcompact Cub similar to what was listed in the OP? I see them online all the time, but never seem to see anyone that has them. Makes me wonder just how popular and well built they are

I have heard that the transmissions are weak.

My brother got a deal on this little backhoe unit for his ford, works pretty well. I admit I can't do as much with it as I can a 336 CAT, or even a mini excavator, but when I need to do some digging it sure beats a shovel

I priced a contractor putting in a couple retaining walls for me, then decided I could do it myself AND buy the equipment to do it for less money. But you are right about the limitations--dig, retract, move, deploy, dig, retract, move, deploy... but works great for planting trees, etc. Not sure how a tracked mini excavator would work digging trenches across a hill--on the contour. The backhoe can be leveled. I'd be afraid the track hoe would tip over? Talking a significant slope..

Orange tractor in the middle here joined the stable about 10 years ago.

Was in the process of building a PF engineering backhoe for our utility tractor when we bought a bobcat 331 mini hoe complete with a hydraulic thumb. Work on the backhoe stopped the first time I ran the mini. Hands down its the best way to dig... and so much fun. It beats the heck out of a loader backhoe... of any size. We payed well over 10 grand for ours... but for tight areas, trenching, loading scrap metal, etc... #1 in my book

Anyone want the plans, a mostly built mast and steel for a cub sized backhoe?? Lol

We have an old skid steer with a front mount hoe attachment on it which works great for the little things. Plus its a T handle drive reach back and push and ur movin backward.
I'll say its still no match for a mini excavator tho.
Just rented one at my parents house and could not believe what that machine could do. Especially liked the front blade, small but extremely useful.

A mini-excavator can do one job well. Anyone here try mowing, tilling, pushing snow, plowing the garden, or pulling a wagon with one? My vote would be for the tractor if I could only choose one.

Agreed, but it would be fun to try

Actually, they make a lot of attachments for them. There is even a "bush hog" mower available. Kinda cool for trimming trees.

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.
