why does that part of what you said, sound
SO familiar????
started out with Sears suburbans, always wanted a Cub and/or a Wheel horse.... could never touch one it seemed even though the Chicago factory is only like an hour from me.....
just missed out on one with a loader about 4-5 years ago, tractor was kinda clapped out and I had actually passed on it, think it was a 127.... I thought about it and went back just to see a buddy of mine loading it up.... if I would have realized the worth of the loader setup I would not have hesitated.... I have a cousin who maintained 2 acres with a 127 back when I was a kid and I got to run that one whenever I went by there....
I had a neighbor while I was growing up that had a 1x8/1x9 not sure which model (hey I was just a kid) but he had that machine for what seemed like forever and always kept it looking like brand new.... but "he" never worked on it, always had the stealership come and get it, for the simplest of problems.
While I certainly don't need a tractor, my yard is actually too small for one, I just love playing with them....
About 4 years ago I had no tractor and happened upon an Ariens for a tooo good to pass up kind of price. I'd had one briefly a few years before that but was too far "gone" to be worth bringing back.... good parts unit was about all it was but I do wish I still had the 3 point and tiller from that one that I passed along. I now have an Ariens GT19, an S16H, a Sperry New Holland S14H (the very tractor that became the Ariens GT lineup), a Cub 1200, a Cub 129, plus most of another 129 "roller" for parts and a 1650 "roller".... I have decks for all, a plow blade for the Ariens/NH and a snow blower for the Cubs (QA42A)/ and lately Cub attachments are starting to slowly ooze out of the woodwork, unlike what I can say about Ariens products/// when they are found, you gotta pay a kings ransom, "all or nothing" when it comes to attachments and you gotta take another tractor to get the attachments you want. so finally I can have my Cubs....
when all is said and done, I think the Ariens are going away, since stuff is so hard to find for them.
(as an aside though when it comes to baseball, I have always hated the Cubs --white sox fan here/ ha ha ha)
