Default Disappointment

Here I and the cub sit with no snow to push, no grass to mow. Occasionally I start it up and drive it around, but it isn't the same without anything for it to do. I've even went so far as to sta-bil(ize) the fuel tank since there isn't any snow in the forecast.

I hear that. I've got the 1864 ready with blade or blower loaded for bear and so far we've had maybe a couple inches of slushy mush almost a month ago. I start it (and the 2284) when we have a nice day and drive them for a lap or two to keep em charged up and ready but like you said, it's just not the same. A Cub without a purpose isn't much of a Cub at all!

Don't go starting that "I wish it would snow crap" again like you did last year.

Ok, how about I start it!

Compared to what I have this year, I almost feel like I got caught with my britches down last year. Man, that was a rough winter

Dan

Let me add, since you are such a snow lover I hope you get snow like Buffalo got a few weeks ago but only at your place, no reason to cause the others that live near you that kind of pain. I'm old and I've had all the white crap I can stand. That's why I moved south. I'm good with 5-6" at Christmas other than that 80 degrees works for me, yeah I know it's good to want.

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.
