Which would be better?
I am starting to get more tractors than I need, (like may others here, ha ha)
One of my favorite summer activities are car shows, tractor shows and such. At many of these shows, I see them lengthened (like 2 machines that have been made into 1) while others have the back to back double seat like a golf cart as a butt buggy to take their owner from place to place around the show, as well as tractors with tracks and more... I saw one even that had the seat turned around and a snow plow off of a Jeep or small truck mounted off the back, what was originally the "front" of the tractor was now the back, and steered like a rear steer forklift... that one was on Craigslist this past winter. I'm thinking I'd like to build myself a custom butt buggy type thing maybe with a small bed/box on the back, or something like that.... like a GT turned into something like a golf cart. If you guys were gonna do something like this would you start with a hydro or gear drive tractor? I'm thinking for its purpose I could get by with a smaller HP (8-10HP Kohler) machine to base it off of... I'm not quite ready to start on this, as I have a few other projects that are in progress that I want to finish 1st, but the wheels are turning... ideas are forming.

Personally I'd say use a hydro rear axle. On a hydro you can control FNR from anywhere you can route a cable or linkage from. With a gear drive, the operator must be somewhere close to the gear shift lever. If you decided to lengthen a gear drive tractor the operator will need to be back by the rear axle. Just a thought.

Well -- so much for my thoughts that the operator must be near the gear shift. Nice job on the stretched frame Paul.

I'll PM it to you... besides the color, I have seen a few that look like they welded the frames of 2 of the same series of tractors together to make their stretch models... seems I see the most of these custom machines at one particular threshermen's show that I go to every Labor Day weekend.... but see one here, another there otherwise...

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.
