New Guy, Been At It For A While
I grew up on a small farm. My dad did custom baling for several farmers. Since I was big as a kid, I was part of the package. I started put up hay for other farmers when I was 9.
I used my "hay" money to buy my first tractor when I was 12. I started with a JD B and a year later bought an IH M and a 10' disc. My dad died in 1975 when I was 14. In 1976, I planted our crops by myself working after school. I've been a workaholic ever since. The garden is the only "hobby" I have, and that is a lot of work at times. I have worked on 4 different farms driving all sizes of tractors and equipment. One farmer had an older 988 Cat loader. That thing was huge in it's day. I've been a professional welder for a while, had a cabinet parts business for a while, and owned my own truck for 14 years. I've driven almost 4 million miles since I got my chauffeurs license in 1978. No cdl's back then. I'd like to start selling produce and make that my full time job. For now though, I deliver pole buildings for a large supplier. If any of you west of the Mississippi River have bought a pole barn on the internet, I or my son may have brought it to you. I don't care for much of the newer government choked vehicles or equipment. The newest vehicle I have is a '94. I still drive a 1978 Chevy pickup that I bought new in '78. I used to do about all of the mechanical work on my cars, pickups, and trucks, but I guess I'm getting a little lazy lately because I let my neighbor fix some things for me now. I'll keep reading and looking at pics here and get to know what tractors and equipment some of you have. |

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.
