Before choosing a tractor, I look at the tasks that I want this tractor to do.
Any of the IH built Cub Cadets are fine machines as are many of the CCC Cubs (garden tractors). One of my biggest concerns is maneuvering the machine. For areas where a lot of back and forth driving is required, I prefer a hydrostatic drive tractor. For working in large open areas (especially long open and hilly straightaways) a gear drive provides a more constant ground speed, with a hydrostatic drive tractor you will be more likely required to adjust your ground speed often, depending on the terrain. Horse power isn't as big of a deal as one might think. For throwing/blowing snow, more HP is normally better and the same with cutting overgrown thick heavy grass. For pulling and pushing projects, you will usually run out of traction before you run out of power (even with loaded tires, weights and chains). Your best bet is to find a gear drive AND a hydro, that way all your bases are covered. Just to be safe, find yourself a 12 hp gear drive and a 14+ hp hydro and they will always do you proud.

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.
