Lo Boy 154?
The possibilities just never end. I've been looking for a tractor to put a loader on, I had my eye on a 782D that was posted here, but now found a Lo Boy 154 for the same price with a snow blower. I wanted a diesel, but the Lo Boy is a bigger tractor, and I like that.
Which one should I get?

Still looking at one of these, but I have questions. I love my 100, and definitely want to stay with an IH, but I have some jobs that a cub just can't do, so if anyone has experience with these tractors, let me know.
For one thing I'm wondering if the extra 4 horse power (from what I can find the Lo Boys come with a 14 horse) is enough to make a difference over the 10 horse Kohler that's in my 100? Will a Lo Boy pull a 2 bottom plow? Is there any reason that a Lo Boy will not work well with an FEL? Help Stitch out!

A 154 is a 15 horsepower tractor. It is well-suited to cutting grass and blowing snow, however, it is not really meant for ground-engaging work. It will definitely not pull a two bottom plow of any size. Even the Farmall Cubs which were true farm tractors would only pull a one bottom plow. If you're looking to pull a two bottom, you'll have to go bigger than a Lo Boy 154. Just my thoughts.

Stitch: 782D or a 154?? I solved that problem. I simply got both! While the 154 will handle any implement that a standard height Cub can, it really was designed and marketed for estate/golf course maintenance like mowing and snow removal as Jfinney mentioned. I have found that for large expanses, the Lowboy will get the job done in much less time than the smaller Cub Cadet.
You will love either or, even better, both! ... Myron B CCSuplyRoom

To be honest, I'm just going to stick with my 100. The more I read, the more I think they're real wimpy. Although the motor in the 154 is a 4 cylinder, I would be willing to bet that when you look at the weight to horsepower ration, my little 100 has dang near the power a lo boy does (correct me if I'm wrong).
I know the Lo boy weights nearly 15 hundred pounds, and sports 14-18 horse. I haven't been able to figure out what my 100 weighs yet (someone tell me), and has the ten horse kohler. Seems to me that it would atleast even out, so why buy a Lo Boy?

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.
