109 owners??
Just curious what people think of them, pro and cons
Im to pick one up on sat that has the engine disassembled, the seller had intended to have it rebuilt but never did. I like the k241s and likely have any parts that might be needed. It looks reasonable and has a deck, no seat tho, but cheap. I buy/sell alot of GTs and wont know which way I'll go with it until I get it home and look it over, ideally it can be repaired, cleaned up and passed on to somebody else to use or fully restore.

When it comes to hydro tractors I don't really like anything smaller than a 12hp, as I understand it the hydro rear end is only about 80% efficient so a 10hp engine get cut down to 8hp. Plus I mow with a 48" deck and 10hp is borderline not enough power in my opinion.

You still get 10hp at the deck if you are sitting still right? So unless you mow everything up hill that loss wouldn't bother would it?
i don't know I mow with the 149 and a 38in deck so don't listen to me

42 inch deck maxes out a 10hp. 48 inch really needs a 12hp+, Unless, or course, you cut the grass daily...

My 109 had a pretty tired 10 hp and a 42" deck on it when I got it, it did ok but I always it was a little under powered.
It now has a pretty fresh 10 hp and a 38" deck... I wouldn't have a problem with a 42" deck, but I would be concerned if I got behind and it was all I had to mow with. Although, I also have a 105 with a 42" deck and it just kicks butt! So much so, that I let my Brother have it on permanent loan. AND THAT GUY can bend a crow bar in a sand pile!

Thx, how easily are the decks removed for cleaning and maintenance? I think the last CC deck I had to deal with was an early '90s 1862 so that wont compare. Some of these older GTs require a contortionist and two trained monkeys to get a deck off.
I have two Cub projects here already so I doubt this 109 will be here long, but I like to sell 'good' stuff so I'll refresh the 241 and clean up the tractor, new seat... and hopefully get it into the $500-$600 range for resale.

I'm not as adept at R & R ing these decks as Tim is, but yeah, a couple minutes off and a few back on. The hardest part is probably sliding them out and then back under, only because they are so heavy.

I timed myself putting it in without the belt for the fun or it and to answer this and it took me 1 minute and 17 seconds on my 129 at a normal pace.

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.
