Spinner/suicide knobs
I am thinking about getting one of these spinner/suicide knobs to put on my steering wheel on my GT 2000. Good Vibrations makes one that can be bought at TSC, Lowes, Home Depot. Anyone using these things, and does it help with steering?

Thanks. My tractor turns fairly easy, but I saw these things and thought this might make it even better. I chose not to get the electric power steering as I was not comfortable with it long term, but I have to make a lot of turns around trees and stuff.

I too use them, but I wouldn't get the one you mentioned. First off, I don't think it will go on your fat steering wheel. Second, they aren't made that well. They like to spin on the wheel. Take a look at the ones Irrigation Pump Company make. I think you'll like them better.

I got mine from Farm & Fleet; so far so good and I think it was only about $10.

I would say that it depends on your cub cadet's steering already. I had a 123 that was work to turn, so the spinner made it easier to deal with, but I had a 129 with narrow tri-ribs that I could steer with my pinky...extremely easy steering on it, so I would not want to use one on it. This topic surfaced years ago on the forum and some guys said that they marred up their steering wheels and they weren't happy with that and other guys said that they never had a problem with them. It is really all up to personal preference.

All of my machines have them. I have alot of stuff I have to mow around and I can have one hand on the wheel and one on the hydro lever and it makes it a million times easier and quicker to change direction...

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.
