Default Son's first time mowing with the 1250
Maybe I'll have help from now on! Son's first time mowing. Great tractor to break him in on-my 1250. Did a great job except he wants to be paid now

That's what my dad would have told me!

Negotiate a reduction in beatings! j/k

In all fairness I earned what amounted to about $1.50-2 an hour in the late 80s-mid 90s mowing grass for Dad. I don't care what anyone says that's not much money even back then. It did help build some character... maybe just no good character.

Pay consist of, food, clothing and housing. Maybe slip him a little green (cash) on the side. But it is nice to see a young person helping out.

Glad to see him on a tractor ...... but he looks pretty old. I'd say it was long overdue.

I was thinking that also, but you can't blame him for not wanting to share seat time! Congrats on the new helper!

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.
