Default Lets see those 2025 gardens.

Plowed my gardens last Sunday and hope to get some potatoes in today before we get rain tomorrow. This 982 does a pretty good job pulling this Sears plow.

Oak,
Is that a 12
I used the 128 & the 10" this year.
The cub never even broke a sweat!

I hope to get spuds in the ground soon but it's still below freezing every night for the next week or so.
Planted on the 14th last year.
Have 150# of seed to get ready yet.

It has been raining here (northeast IL) ALOT. Getting in the garden would be dreaming at this point, but my garlic that was planted in the fall is growing. I'd like to get my potatoes and onions in the ground. Probably start some trays of Marigolds this weekend.

Fins, I believe that is a 12" plow. They were made for the Sears FF garden tractors which were made to compete against the 982 & JD 400 from what I hear. Sergeant may know more about that. I believe they are pretty rare.

I got about 40lbs of seed taters and (8) 45' rows of sweet corn planted yesterday. If the frost doesn't kill the corn it should be ready to pick around the last week in June.

I use a 2" blocker to start my seeds but my tomatoes & peppers are only about 1" tall right now so those will take a few weeks yet.

I need to get some type of deer deterrent for my garden this year. I'm thinking using some type of electric fence.

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.
