Were the QLs and 82 series gear drive tractors available with creeper drives?
Found a 1200 and 2-582s that are reasonable. Possible tiller tractors?

Great. I haven't found one with a creeper, but I assume the creeper drive and installation are pretty much the same?

Depending on your soil a gear drive can be a bear to till with. I prefer to till with a hydro but several other like the gear drives to till with. What sort of soil do you have in your area?

Why would the soil make a difference? A gear drive is not 'a bear' to till with in any conditions I have experienced...it will work just fine on either transmission type, but the hydros tend to get pushed around more by the tiller, it seems.

If the soil is good sandy loam the tiller will do a better job and it won't pull the engine as hard,if it's hard pan (has alot of clay in it) it will pull hard kinda like trying to till up your driveway! If is red clay it would prob pull hard too. The better the soil type the better it will work up and not work the engine as hard.I grew up on a farm,did that till 96 we farmed good soil and had some gumbo (soil with alot of clay in it) and when you worked it or plowed it ,was like plowing concrete. I usually worked up into two inch size dirt clods.

Duke is probably talking about the slow speeds of a hydro. A hydro can still go slower that a gear drive with a creeper.
When in very hard ground, as you know, the tiller will push the tractor. A hydro is much easier to slow down and speed up as you get into different soil types.

I have used both and have found the gear drive to do a better job and not get jerked around as bad as the hydro, although the hydraulic lift is nice since the tiller is pretty heavy. The ideal tiller tractor would be a gear drive with hydraulic lift, IMO. At any rate, either transmission type will get the job done. |

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.
