Default New tractor! Not a cub

It is not a cub but after owning a bunch of kubota engines the decision on brand was easy. I have needed a larger tractor around the acreage for a while now so I finally pulled the trigger on a 2013 Kubota B2920 TLB with 207 hours. I found a deal that I could not pass up and I got the wife on board by promising to trench water to her garden so she can stop carrying a water jug back and forth 100 yards. Drove out last friday morning 600 mile to indiana (30 miles from where I picked up my 1572 2 years ago.) picked the kubota up and could not pass up a smokin deal on a 50" land pride RTR tiller. Then turned around and drove 600 miles straight home. 23 hours round trip. I just wanted to get home and play with it, but the next day it was 2 degrees out so I only played for a half hour or so.

I lucked out and when I picked it up the guy remembered he had a set of 3-point arms for it. Then yesterday I was calling around to see what it would cost to fill the tires with rimguard ($220). I figured I should check to make sure the PO did not already fill them. Woohoo, they were already filled.

Now I am on the hunt for more attachments. This is gonna get expensive! I need a deck, post hole auger, grapple bucket, pallet forks, rotary mower...

Sorry for the crappy pics.

Very nice tractor setup. My crappy 7264 has let me down for the last time, I am going out today and look for a new compact tractor like yours. BTW, the Cub in your garage looks very nice too!

Thanks, I think I am really going to enjoy it. I think the cubs in there with it are a bit jealous because the kubota will now get most of the attention. But the 1572 and the 1864 will probably see more hours this year since they are now the mowers. (til I get a deck for the orange one...)

Nice! I was looking for one of those a couple years ago, just couldn't swing it. Ended up with an all but dead John Deere for a steal, just have to replace all the lines now. Had to replace all the transmission gears, there wasn't a single one that had all its teeth. Wish I could have gone the Kubota route, would have been way more practical!

Thanks everyone, today is a beautiful day weatherwise so I think I will be putting some hours on it. I used it yesterday to carry 8 bags of trash to the burn barrel. Luckily I was able to hang the bags off the backhoe bucket teeth or I would have needed to make two trips! Haha I love this thing, my wife says it makes me lazier, I may agree with her.

B series are for serious games, BX are better mower so keep your Cub's for that task and live those R4 having fun digging around!

Congratulation! You buy a good CUT!

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.
