Kohler engines offered in Cubs...
Hello fellas...
Our club rules say we can't pull with a tractor that has an engine it wasnt offered with from the factory.... So my question is...what model cubs were offered with either a 22 or 25 horsepower engine? We are fixin to build a pulled for our 1400 lb class and want to be sure and start with correct model tractor. Brian, Grant & Spencer |

The only tractors with that big of a motor in it is a hydrostat. You have to get into the 3000 series or newer to find that big of a motor. Now your talking a bit of cash just to get a tractor, that with a hydrostatic trans won't carry the engine power to the wheels. Plus, the rear ends in those machines aren't known to be as good as the older machines.
I don't care what you do, but if it was me, I'd be finding an old Cub Cadet with a gear drive trans and building the motor up to play with. I promise, you can get a lot of HP out of an old 14 or 16hp Kohler K series... but all that means nothing if it's in a hydrostatic tractor. |

I think my 2284 has a 22hp.

And it's hydrostatic.....
Plus, depending on the rules, they may not let a SGT compete. |

I have to agree with Jon on the transmission.
Without knowing "All the Rules" it is difficult to help out on the question. If the only rule is the engine to tractor match, that might open the door for starting with John's 2284 (if they allow the SGT) or Jon's 3000 series and then coupling that engine up to a manual transmission (with a creeper gear?) to a good cast iron rear end from an older unit. The question then is how many dollars are they willing to spent? |

No creeper gears for pulling. You don't need slow, you need the speed. Momentum lets you go just a little farther.

Whats the logic behind not allowing SGT? The pulls I have been to always ran weight classes, just like farm tractors.

But again, a hydro tractor doesn't make as good of a pulling tractor. |

I've enjoyed pulling my model 71 in front of a nice transfer sled in the 850 class, bone stock!
True about the hydro trans being second to the all-gear in the pulling sport! We all know IH built a much better, stronger garden tractor than "good old boy" John Deere. When IH designed the Original and used the Farm All Cub tractor trans for it, that was it! You could never ask for a better "real" tractor trans in a garden tractor than that of the IH Cub Cadet! I like the idea of maybe using a 582 and "soup" up the engine and trans a bit, even though it's not a 22 hp. engine to start with. Of if that's the darn case, keep the 582 and move to another group of pullers. Anyone know what the diesel Cub Cadets were rated at for hp.?

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.
