Nice 1711 and thanks for the pic!

Sorry if this is off topic (yes the color is wrong). Here is the mini-Dozer.

As for sugaring. Trees are tapped in the late winter to spring. The sap runs best with freezing nights and above freezing days. Once the trees bud you are done. Collected close to 700 gals of sap last year to make just over 14 gals of maple syrup.

1711 hauled all the sap.

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.
