Default Needing Your Advice

I put an add in the local paper , for plow & tilling of small gardens needing worked.
I'm getting calls for it.

now the question.
I know you plow in the fall and till it up in the spring. but for the ones that are getting a new bed. would it be best to have 2 tractors to do the job?
that way I don't have to take the plow off and put the tiller on.

I found this 123 about an hour away. and comes with a tiller. 700obo
and my trailer will haul both. (10k tilt bed)

or should I just have one and do the plowing one week then go back the next to till?

I still like the 123 just for a 2nd tractor and just to have. looks nice.

whats you thoughts? thanks guys.

This is just my but it sure would be nice to have both set up so you don't have to switch implements back and forth.
Especially since you are probably going to be getting more calls with spring coming on. Seems like it would save a lot of time and effort if you could just plow then jump on the other one and till. But again this is just my opinion.

My two cents. You really don't need to plow a garden if you have a tiller. Years of compaction would be best plowed, but tilling I think would work fine in an average garden.

700 is a good deal on that,tiller looks to be in nice shape.One for plowing and one for tilling is a good idea,then one for cutting grass,one for snow throwing,one for pushing snow ....
catch my drift?

If you have the money, buy it. It will be easier and plus you have another cub!

two tractors would make it alot easier i know i do the same thing buting in gardens i only have one but being that it a super with a 3pt. so it easy to switch between implements. i myself plow usally in spring as so as i can get on the ground let it sit for week or two then i disk and till. most people go with that just remember with a tiller to watch for big rock tiller tangs are not cheap.

It is much easier on your tiller and belt to plow it up first in a new garden, and if you are doing it for a lot of people it will be a pain to swap from
plow to tiller. That said, the 123 is a great tilling cub,and if you don't have another hydro or a creeper in your gear drive it would be the best way to go. That 123 looks real nice, the tiller as well, why it has the original seat cover! Looks like a good deal, I would go for it

I think I was bitten by a cub bug. another cub would be nice setting in the garage.
yellow and red would look good seting beside each other.

and yes I understand I wouldnt need the plow for all jobs. I guess Im just needing help, convincing myself I need the 123

problem is I have a 24x30 steel building and have 2 pontiac's in it a 68 bird & 79 trans am

no room , I need a shed like Merk has!!

edit: yes my 582 has a creeper. well its in the mail , not on it yet.

Simply put, the more implements, the more tractors.
Plus the 123 was the very first Hydro sold, so they are kind of nice to have.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
