I personally would choose the O, but I have not had a 70/100. I just think the O is simple and not much to it. If you get either one, I would suggest getting fenders because at 6, it might be a little dangerous without them. Just my 2cents.

Does she yave the hang of driving? I just started my 3 year old on my little cub 80. She is gtting the 4 digit o when she gets good enough to control the speed. But I agree that a 70 or 100 is a much stronger and way more imple machine to work on. Other then that the 0 an 70 are pretty well the same on handling

I agree about the frame being more durable on a 70/100. If it were me and my 6 year old, I would choose a 70, with the lighter engine steering is so much easier.
Please get fenders for it, depending on what I'm doing, sometimes I feel a little unsafe on some of my tractors without fenders.

I would go with the 70. Just because everything seems a little safer on that tractor, with no belts and such being exposed.

Depends on your budget...for fenders. Whichever one it is, if you plan on having her on it, then I would definitely make sure that there are fenders on it. Little hands and minds get curious and I always err on the side of safety. A set of fenders for one that old to me would be the number one priority! Other than that, either model that you choose would be just fine.

You'll know the correct tractor when you see it. I agree with the fenders, just because they are safer. They are also cleaner because the tires won't splash up mud, water and debris onto the operator and the machine.
The best thing, though, is that she is interested in having a tractor; one that her daddy can make and fix for her. Working on this project is something that neither you, or she, will ever forget.

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.
