I have what is left of the 1050 and it looks like I have enough to put together another M18 Hmmmmm. Build a 1050 or go big
It's like everyone here passes the bug back and forth to each other

I have a 1050, but it's such a rare tractor I don't want to change it over to a twin. Might do a hot 14 with the 10's tinwork so it still looks the same, but I really don't want to put a twin in.

That is not bad for a straight one owner machine plus the extras and 4 new tires.

Stop trying to talk me in to it! I have very little self control when it comes to these things.

If I were to do a 20HP gear drive, it would have to be a Super,,,,,,

The only attachment that really needs lots of HP is the mower deck, 20HP needs a 60" deck,,,,

The Super is large enough to mount a 60" deck.

The high HP also needs 26" tires to help get the HP to the ground, again, a Super.

I mow with a 24HP (Onan engine) gear drive,,, I use a 72" deck

I wish there was another gear between 2nd, and 3rd,,, more HP is kinda meaningless in 2nd, my 10HP QL can push the blade with the front wheels lifted in 2nd, in 3rd, you would have a hard time staying on the tractor.

A snow blower would make good use of the extra power. The two things that are hardest (in general) on a garden tractor are mowing and snow blowing. Then again, you generally don't want to blow snow on a gear drive, too much variation in speed, so I guess it's a moot point

I could see it for plowing...... if you could get it to the ground. For the most part, we all know that we run out of traction before power.

Well said!!!

I have tried my best, but I can't stall my 12 HP 102. Maybe once I hook it to the sled with some serious shoes

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.
