I always assumed that designing "aerodynamic" equipment was license to reduce size, weight, and overall integrity of the machine to make them less expensive. Compare the frame of a Cyclops or earlier models to those from 1998 on. Day and night difference.
You have to give kudos though to IH when they designed the 82 series to look like their big brothers of the 88 series in combination with the Black Stripe decals of the popular 66 series. Very inspired thinking, design and marketing. No other Ag company attempted that level of product integration across their entire line.

I think that they are all cool. But I do tend to like the older stuff myself, like 2003 and back. I do not think that I will own a large number of different models but you never know.

I grew Up next to the Late Donald Stevenson who was the IH cub Cadet test engineer. I can remember Back to the Last Narrow frame series being IN test Faze I remember seeing the electric actuator On that series I was about 4 Years Old at the time and I remember Mr Stevenson cursing up and down why did we Have to go with this . He always Brought the Tractor's Home to test On His own Property There In Unincorporated Glen Ellyn, IL . That was the series they all saw the writing on the wall's That IH's days were Numbered. Mr Stevenson retired Just as the 82 series entered Production and Most of the design staff were sent to other Departments or retired themselves at that time as well

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.
