Noob from NC
 

Hello! Noob from Statesville, NC I have no cub atm but do have plans on buying at least one this spring. I can't seem to talk my wifes uncle out of selling one of his three so I might as well start looking for one. He did say something about he'll be done with them when he's dead what ever that means hehe.

I'm just not sure which model to buy. Here's what I'm wanting to do with it.

1. Must be able to attach a tiller to it.
2. Must be able to pull my son's caboose/trailer around (he has put in a request for a another trailer train thymed as well) So it has to be a good puller as well.
3. Would prefer shaft driven not sure if it's better but I think it would proform better for my needs?
4. The deck is not important to me I plan on buying a zero turn for my mowing duties.
5. I love the front end loaders not sure if I really have a huge need for one but hey they're cool.

I really like the new tillers listed on cub's site anyone know if those can be used on a older cub?

Thank you for your time sorry for the noob questions.

:Welcome2: Methos! Glad to have you! I'd go with an old IH built Cub Cadet. It will fit all your needs. I also prefer the shaft drive, over the belt drive. Tillers are available for the older cubs.

Nice to see a fellow NC member! :beerchug:

:Cub2::Welcome2:

:beerchug:welcome to the forum. any ih made tractor will fill your needs

Thank you for the warm welcome! Would one of the IH be able to have the loader attachment to it? Thinking about it while I was working tonight I might as well get one that can support the loader as well you know just in case I happen to find one at a later date and all.

I'm making a trip to Ohio in April to go tooling around with my wife's uncle to a couple cub places he's been telling me about. I'm so hopeful that I'm going to find a cc that fits my needs I'm leaving the mini van in NC and taking my truck with ramps so I can bring one or three back with me. In fact the whole trip is planned around the cub hunt. The wife and kids will be "spending time" with her aunt while her uncle and I get go cc hunting. I've gotten the "make sure you get the one that you want" so I plan on doing just that. I hope I can find a tiller at the same time with the loader being a down the road purchase.

Are there any must read threads I should read before I buy?

Once again thank you for the warm welcome.

any ih cub will support a loader,and ther were 3 that were made for the cub that i know of. danco,kwik-way and johnson. i would like to find a danco simply for the clean sleek look and they look alot like the ih 1701 i had on our 656 big farm tractor.

Welcome from another NC member here. Located in Midland! Good luck with your cub hunt. Let me know how what kind of model you decide on because i have a friend with cub and a loader already attached. I dont know the brand of the loader or the price. He did say he would sell it and it is a lot closer than Ohio! Located down in Stanfield NC. You can PM me or email me @ Iluvtruks0@aol.com

Thanks for the loader info! Anyone know what the danco website is by chance?

I'm formally blaming klejeune for me wanting a loader haha That's one sweet O!

You would be alot closer then Ohio! haha Still going to make the trip :) I'm not 100% sure which one I want but right now the O's and 100 are very apealing to me. klejeune and some others that I've seen pictures of have helped me with that. I will be making contact to see what your friend has.
