Oh, I grew up driving REAL IH tractors in Iowa in the '50's. The F-20 and H were my favorites. The only Cubs in those days were Cubs. But I still like Cub Cadets - shoot, they're made by IH too, right?

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.

THE ONLY reason IH and Deere sold those things was to compete with the crap Sears, lumber yards, furniture stores, Western auto, etc sold. NO way on God's green earth Can you compare a RER to a full sized Cadet. I used to hang out with my dad on Saturdays at the IH dealer he worked for. I drove basically everything Cadet made out on the yard to put on display (everything was brought inside at night). Even back in the late 70's I could tell the quality was not very good (of course I was growing up on real farm equipment and knew what quality was). I listened routinely to the sales pitches for the new machines. Basically the customer had it explained to them there were 2 classes of machine, light duty stuff and heavy duty. Both were backed by a full service and parts department--nationwide in most any decent sized town. However, it was pointed out that only the full sized machines would handle severe work and that the only REAL competition to a Cadet was Deere--a good product backed by a huge network of dealers is why those 2 owned the market.
