Default Are they or aren't they ?

My question is are Cub Cadet tractors appreciating, depreciating or staying the same in value. I have been involved in buying and selling for about 10 years. I only have dealt with supers and it seems to me that the price has pretty much stayed the same over the past 10 years. The price I pay and the price I get has been about the same all along. I do not know anything about the values of other modals. I have seen the value of some parts go up considerably. I used to buy the bumpers for $50-$75 now I see them on ebay sell for $150 or more. Same for other parts. That would lead me to believe if you tractor has these parts it's value should be up. I have ask the question before if I should keep or sell. If they are not appreciating it might make more sense to sell and invest in something else. I guess it is like many hobbies your not in it for the money just the enjoyment. For me the fun was collecting, fixing and finding all the hard to get parts. Now that they are done, not much to do. I guess I could start on the 82 series supers but with 5 supers already space is scarce.

I see a lot of older 60's/70's machines that appear nice looking ready to mow in the $4-800 range---and they STAY for sale on CL. It seems 982 prices keep climbing, I'm seeing runners from $1,500-2,500 asking price.

I can still find cheap ones but not as often as I use to, people are wanting $3-400 for junk. Super prices are through the roof, I see supers that look beat to death with $1500 price tags but I see them listed over and over so they're not selling.

I consider my collection of tractors as playtoys and something that connects me to the past. I do not consider these as investments for financial gain. When I use or rebuild one of these units, the reward is immediate, in other words, they are fun to drive and operate.

That’s the answer for me too. Let’s face it, if you really want to cut grass you need a zero turn, if you want to do dirt work you need a skid loader. I view my tractors as toys to play with.
Supers by me have gone up a bit but not like 982s. Haven’t seen a running super by me for less than 1k for a long time.
I could make money on all of my stuff but I bought them in sad shape. (Not counting my time of course). Never once thought about making money or even getting my money back out. If I grow tired of them I will just store them. I’ve got guns I haven’t shot in years but don’t think about selling them.

I saw many quiet line runner selling for $200-$400 and others asking up to $1500 on CL and never sell them. I probably will lost lot of money selling both of my QL (Even the twin stick) today. The last SGT I found was a huge deal and they pop everywhere lately for less money then a QL around here but sitting on a new Kubota BX80 series make me change my mind about this upgraded little pumpkin so my cub addiction is fading away.

I'm all done buying, spending a ton of $$$ to save a Cub only to take a hit when I go to sell it. No one seems to be willing to pay even what I have in them let alone anything for my time. I don't need anymore practice rebuilding old Cubs. Dr. Save a Cub is retired.

As there are in every hobby dealing with antique or vintage equipment, there are less and less interested people collecting as the elders die off. The young generation of today aren't interested in "old junk" as some call it. Sad but true, so get your kids and the neighbors kids involved in your tractors if you want a future in this hobby. Because of this I feel that except for the rare cubs, value is declining.

Very hard to get them involved when they reach that age where they are "all thumbs"
And that age is getting younger all the time!!

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.
