Default The OL' Girl at work

Good morning everyone!!!! How's everyone doing this morning???

Well here's what you all have been waiting for. A video of the OL' Girl. I shot the video yesterday morning at work. I figured it was time to see if the engine would hold up to the type of mowing that I do. The engine ran for nearly 9 hours running at full throttle without any problems what so ever. The engine ran nice and smooth. It did a great job mowing through some of the thick grass. You could really hear the engine open up during that time. So all in all I'm pretty pleased with the out come. But either way, here's the vid. I hope you guys like it??? Take care everyone and have yourself a great day.
By the way, I know you guys were expecting a First Fire Up vid, but Youtube just wouldn't accept the vid. So I just decided to shoot one at work instead.

Here's the vid:

Matt, great video. I have owned a couple of Cubs and I have been working on my 149 and am getting the bug bad now. Thanks to guys like you that share their knowledge, pictures and videos I am learning things that are so valuable. The only problem I have with all these pictures and videos is it will cost me money, now I want one of everything!! I do hope in the future to have a gear drive and a Super. Thanks for sharing.

Hey ihnick!!! How's it going good buddy!!!!

First of all thank you very much for watching the vids of the OL' Girl. I really do appreciate it. As for the KINGKUTTER Disc Harrow, I honestly have to say that I really do like it. It really does get the job done. How would I compare it to a Brinly Sleeve Hitch Disc Harrow???? I would say that with a KingKutter Disc Harrow you have more options as far as Depth Control and determining how much Down Force you want on the blades, whether it be on the rear or the front of the disc harrow. Which by the way, is all done by adjusting the Top Link that comes attached to the disc harrow. As for the Brinly Disc Harrow, there really isn't much to adjust except for the Lift Handle and also on the sleeve hitch itself. And plus the Brinly Disc harrow weighs very little as for the KingKutter, it weighs at 300lbs.. Which really comes in handy when you're trying to break up clogs of dirt. But there is one down fall to the KingKutter Disc Harrow. You have to use the Crank to raise and lower the Disc Harrow when it comes time to either transport it to another site or to make your turn arounds. Which can get kind of tiring after a while. As for the Brinly Disc Harrow, all you have to do is use your Lift Handle to pick it up off the ground and you're ready to go. So it all comes down to preference and also the kind of job you want the disc harrow to do. But in my honest opinion, I'd pick the KingKutter over the Brinly. Hope this answers your question???? Take care good buddy!!!!


MATT

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.
