Those new Cubs are actually pretty nice, but should only be used for light duty mowing, not heavy duty work.

We bought a new lawn tractor like that one about 6 years ago when the 1650 broke. I was younger and dumber then and I liked it for the first few years. Then I tried to mow around our pond with it and it was more than it could handle. Once we got the 1250 for my uncle to use I got to mow with it a few times and was reminded how much greater the 1650 was. Now since we have the 782D I refuse to use it. Long story short, Jenn should keep her 2130.

No way I'd pay $3000.00 for a belt drive throw away MTD. For that kind of money you can have my 2284 with a 60" deck and I'll put a brand new engine in it with a warrenty.

Know nothing about the (new) mowers, but I remember a guy who bought a brand new 1330 back in 1992 for $2600.00. And everything I've heard about that style of lawn tractor they were'nt much.
Well I'm here to tell you, I was that guy and that mower cut everything I could throw at it in those twenty years. From ditches to food plots and lawn. I still use it mainly today because of the ease of getting on and off. And have never put a dime into it other than the yearly maintenance. (knock on wood)
Now the old Kohler is getting tired, but it got used hard over those years, granted, it's no GT real cub cadet, but it's been a good little cubmtd.
Good luck in which ever way you go Jenn and Allen.
My 2 cents

It's all good, Todd. Jenn's keeping her 2130, it's a great little tractor.

I was really surprised at how true the first part of this statement is when I was at my local Cub dealer last week picking up some parts. I thought the Cub Cadets bought at a tractor dealership would still be built................ well more tractor like , but not so. The overall quality of construction just is not what it should be. There were 15 Cub LT's there just sitting. Some with flat tires where they had been sitting in one spot for so long. It really is a shame how flimsy Cubs are built thewse days. And Toro made a bad decision when they stopped production of their WheelHorse line of lawn tractors. Darn NAFTA!!!

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.
