Default Cub Cadet-VERMEER M147A Trencher Tractor
Here is a link to a video i posted on tou-tub yesterday. It is one of my Vermeer trencher Cub Cadets. Vermeer contracted with IH in the early 70's and purchased a few 147's and 149's, stripped down versions, no lighting or lift system. Vermeer took the tractors, added their own hydraulics and their trencher. They repainted and relabeled them with a data plate, stickers, etc. IH never sold them, Vermeer did at their dealerships. I have some sales literature from Vermeer. I will try and get to post some pictures later as well. Eric

Eric that's an awesome video! Looks like it works great too! How deep does it go? Looks like 2 feet or so in the video.

Wow that was awesome!! I wonder why they called it a 147a, and not a 149a?

That seems a little deep to plant your corn. Wow, that was a great video and a quick history lesson on Vermeer and Cub Cadet. I've seen pictures of them before but never seen them in action until now-Thanks for sharing your video!

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.
