I'll lend my 2 cents. I have a 126 with a 42" deck and located in VA. If my grass had any height or thickness I could not get a good cut in first gear and the deck would stop up.
I tried raising the deck and cutting twice, didn't really help. I had to cut half widths and mixed results. Making sure the blades are sharp and deck adjusted correctly helped but didn't completely solve the problem. I ended up installing a creeper gear which helped a lot. Third gear creeper low worked well. Occasionally 2nd gear creeper low was needed. The creeper also allowed my to use our snow blower which was a nice bonus. Word of caution, shifting is difficult. You will need to shift the creeper into neutral in order to change gears. My yard requires a lot for backing up so I have to shift the creeper a lot. Now I only use my 126 for rough cutting along the road and I use my 782 with 44C for my yard. Hydro helped with speed and the 44C doesn't stop up as much. I also have a 46GT deck I use with a bagger for leaf removal in the fall. That deck cuts great! Only down side is it is noisier than the 44C and takes more fuel to run. Chris

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.
