Default Who's that on MY cub?
Don't know how many of you guys wives/gf will actually drive your cubs around, let alone use them, but my GF wanted to help today. Been threatening to put her on a cub and help me push snow. I've been working with my son on driving the cubs, and that has went well. Teaching someone who thinks that they should drive like a car...... another story. Easier to teach someone who has no predisposition of what to do. Day went well. But SLOW. LOL. She did WAY better than I had expected. The way were dressed you'd think it was 20 below, but it really was warm today. Probably never get her out if it really is cold. Probably better to try and teach someone when working in tandem isn't required. Spent most of the day waiting. LOL.

Sorry boys, I had better pics and accidentally deleted them before transferring them from my phone. So.... without further ado, here are today's pics.

Note: Need to get her a spring assist. She had to use both hands to lift the blade!

That'll build those arm muscles!
Good to see her getting involved. Nancy enjoys working the tractors, really likes the "0" I got her last year.
Just don't spoil her and give her the cab tractor, every man needs
"his tractor"

Great pics. Whatever you do don't let her operate your cubby with the cozy cab. she'll get used to it & demand heat. Then you'll NEVER get to play.

Or ? Maybe that's a good idea?

I let my wife run our 147 and tiller last spring. I had to run the lever cuz it had no lift spring at the time. She got tired of it shaking and gave up.

No fear boys.... the 1811 is MINE! Not only for the cab, it's just my favorite. Besides, the cab tractor gets the blower, and I'm not going to put a "newbie" on the blower. Too much to watch, and too expensive to repair! (As I found out!)

Thanks Sam and Muzzy!

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.
