am impressed
I had my doubts about this 1450. I thought I had made a mistake selling my wheelhorse and getting it. The Wheelhorse was a 12 hp, this is a 14hp, its got to be better. This winter wasn't bad, but the cub had no where near the bite in the snow that the wheel horse had. I added weight and it improved. I worked on the engine and the hydro and it got better. The last few days I have worked it hard pulling logs and cut firewood up over a 30' creek bank. I am impressed with the power. I don't know if the pics tell the story, but I pulled at least a dozon of those bags full of cut wood up that bank, It strained but did it, I skidded 3 logs 8 to 10 feet long up that bank. Pulled all the cut branches up in bundles with chains wraped around them. The strap you can see is apx 60' long to give you an idea how far I was pulling. I doubt the belt drive of the wheelhorse would of held up. I was was well pleased and impressed with what the tractor did. I don't know if it was the fluid in the tires and the wheel weights, but it has the bite know. Can't wait to see what happens in the snow.

It's a CUB did you expect any less?? Lol these machines are beasts..just for giggles I hooked my 126 up to my dually and slowly pulled it up the driveway hill, I think she'd done a little better with a creeper gear though..

You made an excellent choice going from the wheel horse to the cub. Those cubs take a licking and keeps on ticking. Most of the HP that is needed for a CC is for implements like a mower deck or a snow thrower, it really isn't needed to move the cub. I've used a 125 (12 HP engine) to haul a 17 (approx) foot pop up camper up a hill many times at my mom's place. Dad's response? "Shovel on the coal!"

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.
