FYI
It appears to be an "urban myth" that the knobs are illegal. Anywhere in the US of A: http://www.suicideknob.net/state_laws.html |

FWIW I work in the material handling world and they are actually standard equipment on some types of lift trucks and are made into the steering wheels. Invaluable if you are an operator on one for ten to twelve hours at a time IMO. I actually just had to change out 30 plus steering wheels at a Coke plant because the operators couldn't live without them on their new lifts. Difference of opinion and preference I guess. Although most fork trucks steer from the back too, never thought to put one on a cub but can see the benefit for sure.

I never read it in a law, but the DOT officer that came into my shop told me they were. That pretty much meant it was the law, at least in that place at that time.

They get in the way.
I can steer fine without the knob. Wouldn't use one or want one on the steering wheel.

guess i just grew up with them....on damn near every tractor we had or have...upper right spoke if possible...usually i fabricate something to make sure they stay 90° to the wheel..meaning if the spokes of the wheel pitch downward you may have to do the same so that it sits right...yeah i bet they are really awkward if sitting "downhill"...and for whipping in and out of trees, or on a forklift, or like jmech said backing in trailers, theres NO way someone can whip a wheel as fast without one.....i mean FAST.....if the machines steering is good of course.....we always called them "oh s#$t knobs"....kinda like "oh s#$t handles" accept these might save you from the tree!!!

maybe i shouldnt say "cant"...like in an old chevy pickup with the big wheel where you can "palm" it or do the one finger method, but definitely not some hand over hand stuff...never had a tractor that the steering was as easy on as an old chevy pickup either......course we never had big fancy tractors though.........now im rambling

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.
