I Agree!!
It's a constant argument at work..they buy a box store lawn tractor, it breaks, and then they wonder why I won't attempt to fix it for 'em..I could have sold 'em an old Cub for half the price, and be good to go until they retire!! This all I collect(and put to use!!)

As it's been mentioned, the GT2500 series and the 3000 series are still built tough. Drive shafts, premium engines, cast iron rear ends, etc.
On the JDs, Deere makes the lower end products that are sold at Lowes and HD (also sold at dealers) in a plant in Tennessee. But their higher end products, i.e. the X-series - X300, X500 and X700, that are only sold at dealers are made in Horicon, Wisconsin, which have been cranking out Deeres since 1963.

JMD: Zero Turns are great for lawns/yards with lots of trees, shrubbery etc., but I recommend you get one of the good heavy duty models from a real Cub Cadet Dealer, and not one of the box store versions..

Not at all sure about the new larger tractors, but I've seen a lot of the disposable ones come and go. I think it's funny as heck that if I (or anyone else) were to spend $2000.00 on an old Cub Cadet, they would have a machine that (with a little preventative maintenance) would withstand a LOT of abuse and still hold up for a lifetime, but instead people go buy a new one and throw it away in four years. And you can't make these people believe any different!!! I guess that's what we get for creating a world in witch everything is disposable...
I'll take an Original through 169 and you can keep your new ones. And Yeah, It probably won't be long until a sticker saying "Made In China" apears under the hood. It's just my opinion but if there were no market for things made over seas then there would be no over seas goods here in the US. We've done it to ourselves.

Well I hate to say it but not all the new MTD Cub Cadets are junk.
I curently own a 3235 MTD built Cub Cadet and it will do as much if not more than my old IH built Cub Cadets.             Oh and heres the one that get the job of cutting the grass around the place. The red one at the end of the line.  Its a Wal-Mart special, MTD made 38" deck 12.5hp Briggs.

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.
