Default Anyone mowing yet?

I got out the 147 today just because I felt like taking it for a ride. I thought that I miss mowing, and wondered if anyone else was mowing yet. Although the grass is greening up and growing somewhat around the edges, it's been too cold and wet for it to take off. ICYMI we have been colder and snowier during the last part of March and beginning of April than we have in December. I haven't yet converted the cub with a mower deck yet cuz my luck it'll snow measurable inches again soon.

The closest I've got to mowing is riding my new 1211 around Lew's yard, I'm busy getting ready for PA plow day.

I've mowed once.... and it needed it BAD. I just didn't have time or I would have mowed again this last weekend. It got colder, and the grass growing slowed, but didn't stop.

I haven't even thought about getting the deck put on to start mowing. My neighbor was mowing last Saturday at noon and about 4 hrs later we were having snow and 60mph winds. Looked like a blizzard.

We've mowed 3 or 4 times this year. So far used the 982, 2072, and the 128.
And of course NONE of them have been serviced yet.

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.
