128 with a tiller, it is a beast.
I've always been a huge fan of the WF (no quietlines) and Hydros. Recently I acquired two 128's, one with a creeper gear. After using the gear drives to do several chores I really liked the constant ground speed no matter what the terrain was. I decided to try a tiller on the 128 with the creeper gear and spring assist. It worked fantastic. Although I stayed away from creeper gears in years past because most cub guys say the hydro is so much better. The hydraulic lift is nice but I think I have been converted to a gear drive guy. Looks like the 149 will have a lot of down time.

Each transmission has its place. For chores that require a lot of back and forth, or need for varying speed, the hydro is better. So, blowing snow, mowing, blade work, pulling a lawn sweeper, that sort of thing. Any ground engaging work, the gear drive is better suited.... plowing, tilling, general tillage, planting are good examples. You're figuring it out.

Count me as another fan of the WF gear drives. Especially good for cutting grass on hilly terrain where the hydros require a lot of adjustments to maintain speed.

I grew up on a 108, 122 and a 1000 that I still have. I also have a 1450 that I got a few years ago and built from the ground up. It has a tiller behind it. No matter how much I use it I can't get used to that hydro after using gear drives for 35 years.

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.
