Default Got an upgrade.
Whenever I go to events I always try to take some video but it's a huge PITA trying to use my phone while I'm driving a tractor so I decided it was time for an upgrade. I won this GoPro hero 4 off eBay with a ton of extras for a very reasonable price, there's probably $200 worth of mounts and spare batteries alone. I need to do some testing before plow day to figure out the best way to mount it on a Cub so I get as little vibration as possible.

I'm excited for you! I want a go-pro. I'd like to play with it on the Cubs, but we'd like to have one for when we go (motorcycle) riding!

Looking forward to some video!

Keep a lookout on eBay for a nice used one that comes with accessories and batteries, I probably saved about $300 buying used vs what all this would have cost new. The oldest you want to go is the hero 4, any older than that and they don't have WiFi and Bluetooth. GoPro has an app and you can connect the camera to your phone through Bluetooth which allows you to control the camera and you can look on your phone screen and see the camera view which is pretty cool. Some of the hero 4's have an lcd touch screen on the back and I recommend getting one of those, that's what I got and it's much better than the old GoPro I had that didn't have a screen.

That's hilarious! I guess I need to go to tractor supply and buy a chick before they're all gone.

I have one. It is fun- I use it on the CC, my bicycle, and when I go to plow days. They can get some unique shots you wouldn't normally think of.

Cool new toy Tim.
I've got one of the older models without a screen. Got it "free" when I bought my last ATV. I've used it on the RC truck, and that's pretty cool. But the best is on the dog.
I've got a harness, and it puts the Go Pro on the back of his neck. Some of the video, makes you a little dizzy watching it...
Also attached it to the side of the 56 going down the highway. Those suction cup mounts, really stick.
But you are correct, the newer ones with the viewing screen, are way better. Cause without it, it's a shot in the dark, where you're actually videoing...

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.
