Yeah, I put my time in on those tractors too. Growing up, we ran (all IH) a 340, 856 and a 1066. No cab on any. Granddad decided that he wanted to have an organic farm (no chemical) so we started rotary hoeing 3 days after we planted. Did that until it was too big to hoe, then started cultivating. 6 row equipment, 500 acres. (Small farm. Not all the ground was organic. Only about 250-300 acres) Cultivated till canopy. So, we set the shovels really close to the row. 2-3mph, 4"-6" apart on the row shovels.  You got REALLY good at not taking out the crop. (It's hard BTW. No guidance system.) So, yeah. BTDT too.  Our old 856 had about 11,000 hrs on it when we got rid of it. (It's actually in my shop now, because my friend Chris bought it.) Out of those hours, I estimate that I probably put 3,000 of them on. It only had about 3,000 hrs on it when I started helping. (It also had a lot of PTO time running things like a gen set, or a manure pump)

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.

Kinda cushy operators station compared to what I used to have to work with
856 with ROPS for all of the tillage and a Farmall Super C for cultivating acres and acres of corn, two rows at a time
thing is it seemed like I just got done with the first round of cultivating and we took the shields off for round two
