Nope... I'm just a homeowner / hobbyist. That said, I just bought a 240 year old house that's 5500 sq.ft. on a large property, with 4 acres of manicured lawn space. We are beyond busy with repairs, modifications, rennovations, etc.
I have a new John Deere 757 ZTrak mower with a 60" deck for mowing, and a recently-borrowed John Deere 750 utility tractor with front end loader, but this Cub sees more use than either of them, being my primary machine for pulling the fertilizer and seed spreader, weed sprayer, utility trailer, snow plow, snow blower, and an old 48" mower I use for brush hogging the "rough" areas. In the the next two weeks I need to aerate and seed, and both of those implements are too small to pull behind the JD 750, especially the tow-behind broadcast seeder which I need to be able to turn off and on from the drivers seat... I need my Cub.
That said, I think you're right... I need to plan to replace the Cub with something newer and more reliable. Problem is, I did not address this earlier, and now I'm in a pinch. Maybe I should post a new thread, to decide the fate of the Cub, and what to replace it with.
