What model to get???
 

My 6 year old daughter really wants her "own" tractor.Something we can restore together,and bring to show's and just have fun with.I'm interested in either an "O" or a 70/100.I like both,any reason to go with one over the other?

I vote to forget the "0", she will be doin' wheelies with the Cub Cadet at eleven, and the 70 or 100 will survive much better. :bigthink:

The 70/100 is a much simpler machine, also.

I personally would choose the O, but I have not had a 70/100. I just think the O is simple and not much to it. If you get either one, I would suggest getting fenders because at 6, it might be a little dangerous without them. Just my 2cents. :beerchug:

Does she yave the hang of driving? I just started my 3 year old on my little cub 80. She is gtting the 4 digit o when she gets good enough to control the speed. But I agree that a 70 or 100 is a much stronger and way more imple machine to work on. Other then that the 0 an 70 are pretty well the same on handling

I'd like to get both,but can only get one right now.I had a nice 100 and an O I sold a few years back(both were projects),kicking myself now...:bash2:

I agree about the frame being more durable on a 70/100. If it were me and my 6 year old, I would choose a 70, with the lighter engine steering is so much easier.

Please get fenders for it, depending on what I'm doing, sometimes I feel a little unsafe on some of my tractors without fenders.

Didn't think about the steering being easier,good point...:ThumbsUp:Fenders are a MUST,i agree!

I would go with the 70. Just because everything seems a little safer on that tractor, with no belts and such being exposed.

Depends on your budget...for fenders. Whichever one it is, if you plan on having her on it, then I would definitely make sure that there are fenders on it. Little hands and minds get curious and I always err on the side of safety. A set of fenders for one that old to me would be the number one priority! Other than that, either model that you choose would be just fine.

Cub Cadet 123

You'll know the correct tractor when you see it. I agree with the fenders, just because they are safer. They are also cleaner because the tires won't splash up mud, water and debris onto the operator and the machine.

The best thing, though, is that she is interested in having a tractor; one that her daddy can make and fix for her. Working on this project is something that neither you, or she, will ever forget.
