I'm not a big fan of loaders on Cubs but if used within the limits of the machine they can be a very useful tool. I guess the thing I see that concerns me the most is the size of the buckets that you see on most of them. Most are larger than what I have on my BX. Moving stuff like compost or cleaning out stalls OK, a full bucket of crusher run is a different story. If you build one just be careful and keep the load close to the ground when operating it.

I'm with Sam on the size of the buckets. They are way too big for the machine and probably give people a false sense of what the loader is actually capable of. If I got one, I would build a smaller bucket and probably add some teeth to it.

I have a FEL on a 149 with plenty of extra weight on the back. I use it for all kinds of things, and will keep it.

It's not as heavy duty as a larger machine would be.

Mine has a big bucket. For gravel it's way too big. But I don't have to fill the bucket so no problem. For snow, which mine has seen a lot of use, the bigger bucket is great. Last winter it was the only way I could get my mailbox dug out after the storms and plow went by, so it got a workout.

I recon it depends on what you want to do with it whether you will like it or not.

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.
