Default GT Recommendations - Small Food Plots
I have a property used for deer hunting and some turkey here and there. Next year I am planning on clearing some areas on the interior of the woods for some small plots and trail work.

Given that and I don't want to bring in larger equipment, I am looking for a GT that would be ideal for a tiller attachment. I am going back and forth between a tiller powered by the GT or one that has an independent engine that you pretty much drag. I am leaning towards a tiller attached and driven by the tractor.

After the till, this would also be used to use a drag rake, mow here and there and a cultipacker.

So, any recommendations for a used tractor I should be looking for that would be an eligible candidate?

I have been keeping my eye out for a 582 or 682, but want to be sure I am not overlooking any.

It's a cub site so yeah a gt cub would obviously be a good choice. Recently I purchased a gravely 2 wheel that I been having some fun with. Came with a brush hog deck and blade and a rear plow blade. I see a lot of tillers available for it and the prices seem reasonable. I also got 2 snow blowers with mine. I was not aware that gravely 2 wheels have something like over 240 attachments available for it. That impressed me quite a bit.

Those gravely snow throwers are impressive, throws snow a country mile.

I am not closed minded to only CC, but I like older/vintage simple to work on mechanical tractors CC/IH compared to today's versions.

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.
