Look around online, I believe there is a fairly simple mod to improve the turn radius on these older Cubs.

But how come it takes so much more horsepower today to do what was done in the 60's, 70's and 80's ?

Is the grass tougher now?
Is the dirt more dense?
Is snow heavier now?

HP compared to torque. The old Kohler single cylinder cast iron engines had loads of low RPM torque (load carrying ability). The newer engines lean more toward high RPM performance (another reason why manufactures and dealers promote WOT operation). Just as older automobiles (muscle cars) in the 60s and 70s were under rated, to get by some regulations.
Really doesn't really matter, as long as they get'r done!

Thank you, my deck is 48", so I guess I can add a few more dollars. I will just around it out to 2500$.
