Some of the JD's can be tough to even FIND the parts for them. My father ran into that, part of the reason I started looking into cubs.

I guess I would go with Sears, older ones. Right now Im kinda lookin around for a good Super A. I wanted to get some Cubs & As but the Cadets are cheaper, there are lots to pick from and they take up less space in storage; plus, I dont mind a little custom work to a Cadet but it would seem to go against my grain to paint a Cub or an A some wild colors! and hot rod em a bit.

depends on what I needed....

for strictly mowing... Exmark, got two of them, hands down the best commercial cut.

For all around... Kubota BX.

Old school pre-1980.... I like the looks of the MF GTs, they had that look of the big MF tractors. There's quite a few I like, but there's only 1 Cub!

If money was no option, probably a Steiner or Ventrac.

I reckon it would have to be a Bolens. They are built like tanks.

I have some Sears Suburbans, some Sears Custom 10xl's and a Ford 8n, I like them all but will never give up my Cubs. Suburban's have a sickle bar mower which is pretty cool and I use the 8n with a back blade to clear the snow in the winter. They all are set up for a specific job, any day I can spend on a tractor is a good day.

If not a an older Cadet, then I' have a newer REAL Deere, not the kind you get from a big box store. They certainly have the best dealer support and resale.

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.
