Hi there,
There are many opinions and stories a guy can give to someone about which Cub to buy and which Cub to avoid. In my personal opinion, it depends on what you want to do with it. Originals are the ones that everyone tends to stay away from for hard work because of their 2 peice frame that is notorious for cracking. But, a guy like me goes out and pulls trees and wagons with them and has had no problems!
Also, like other members have said, people tend to stay away from the Quietlines. I haved mixed feelings about those.
If you want a good mowing tractor, I recommend a 105 or a 1450, or some type of hydro. Ive mowed a ton of grass with a 105 and it has given me very little trouble. Also, a 1450 is a great mowing tractor. Good power, a little bigger and beefier frame, and a little wider deck also.
Any older Cub is also a good show tractor. A 100 or a 70 look very well IMO repainted/restored. Also, I personally like the 1x6/1x7 series tractors as well. They look sharp all redone.
If you cant decide, just collect them all. Thats what I did
Hope this helps!
