New to me....3225 FEL!!!
Well I've gone and joined two new clubs. The 3000 series club and the FEL club.
I have been searching for a loader for about the last six months. I want one to help help with landscaping the property that my wife and I are building a new home on. So I found this. 3225 with a Kwik-Way loader. The tractor has 560 hours on it. It runs nice and the loader works smoothly and quickly. It has some missing powder coat and some surface rust of the foot rest pan but seems to be mechanically sound with one exception. The steering is horrible. Probably the worst case of wander I have experienced on a power steering tractor. We have a local hydro shop here that has rebuilt some power steering cylinders for us in the past with good results so this cylinder will be headed their way ASAP. I have a lot to learn about this series of tractors and the loader as both are a first for me but I am looking forward to it. I need to get some manuals and start studying. I did add a little old IH to it today by adding a set of wheel weights that I had lying around. Here are the pics.

Your steering, front axle bushings, pins, spindles, bearings, ball joints... basically anything on that front end will wear out in a hurry with a fel. Not saying loaders are bad, but cub cadet gts and sgt were not built for front loaders. Notice the lack of oem cub cadet brand loaders for gts?
Simply put, your loader will punish that garden tractor same as if you dropped it from a 3 story building on to cured pavement. Good luck, nice looking machine, first i have seen a 3k machine with a loader!

My only issue with FEL's on Cubs is the size of the buckets. OK if your using it to clean out stalls in a horse barn or a little mulch but WAY to big for dirt work.

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.
