And then you people make it so darn easy to get answers and fix em up. I'm holding this forum liable when my wife starts pushing back lol

We're on 2 acres in Felton, CA. Really I only mow this time of year then it stops raining and the grass dies. I used the 1450 and tiller to make my wife a garden. I probably use the box scraper most of all. I wish I had more property but for around here 2 acres is a lot.
I built a small shed for my tractors, implements, log splitter and general storage. It is full. It isn't that big because of slopes and trees. If you are interested look here:
http://onlycubcadets.net/forum/showthread.php?t=36353 I built it over Christmas a little over a year ago. You will see no snow in the pictures BTW. Also I measured the redwood tree that is next to the shed with a theodolite and got 145' tall. It's just a baby compared to some in the area.
I am always on the hunt for old power equipment but there are almost no Cub Cadets out here. I picked up my 1450 and never saw another for over 2 years. I have a old Lickety Log Splitter that I use to get through forks and knotty logs. Piqua Engineering made it and they went out of business in 1982. It is powered by a K181 so I have 3 Kohlers in the shed. I like the quality of old equipment and keeping it alive.
Keep us up to date on your home construction. 5 acres is a nice size. I hope you are able to get some more Cubs for your fleet.
