I have to ask, why do you need 16 horsepower to pull a tiller when 10 hp works well?

I put a 14 hp engine in my 108 years ago. When I was young. Not a good move. Years later, I put the 10 back in it and it ran much smoother and much less vibration.

I'm in the "mo par" camp, too. Heck, it's all for fun, anyway. It makes just as much sense as owning 10 cub cadets makes.

When it comes to power "Some is good, more is better, too much is just right" or as the late Mark Donahue once said "If you can spin the tires at the end of the longest straight you have just enough"

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.
