Looks like hickory nuts to me. My back yard is filled with shagbark hickory trees and the ground will soon be covered with them. The nuts are edible and taste a lot like pecans or walnuts to me. I used to rake them up in the spring before I mow the first time to keep from pelting my house with them. Now, I just roll the yard when the ground is soft and push them below the reach of the mower blades. The squirrels just have to work a little harder to retrieve them.

The meat is tough to get out of the shell because they are so stinking hard. There's a reason they make hammer handles from hickory and the nut shells are just as tough. You're better of buying walnuts or pecans at the store.

Red face Yes Sir;

I soon will be picking those up all over my place, we started picking up walnuts today.

Walnuts are bringing about $.o6 a pound, I'm rich, I am rich I tell you.
Well maybe I'll get enough to pay the property taxes.

Yep I have a whole side yard of those things. A bit dangerous when mowing over them, LOL.

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.
