I dunno, my Daughter started out with a manual trans Cub Cadet, primarily because I thought it would be safer for her.
I was afraid that if she got in a "tricky" situation, she may panic and do the wrong thing with the lever, or possibly be jostled around with her hand on the lever and have the hydro "run away" on her. With the manual transmission, "the rule" was, put it in gear, let off the clutch and go... If you ever "feel afraid" just reach down, and turn the key off. I always thought, that if there were less options, then there would less margin for trouble. Now that she's older (23) she doesn't drive the tractors much any more, but when she does, she has this smile on her face that she can't make go away. It might sound a little selfish, but what a feeling that is for me.

She is at a good age to drive a manual tranny. They are easier to drive than a car, and go fairly slow. I started out my daughter when she was 10 on my 100. She loved it! Now 27, she isn't into mowing the yard anymore, but drives the cub around sometimes just for fun. IMHO, the 70's and 100's are better than the bigger tractors: 124's, 125's. Even my 124 is more scary for her to drive (her words). The old cast iron decks are smoother and less scary, too. Just my .02.

I wasn't allowed to run solo on a CC until I was about 13-14 and didn't have my own until I was 27; so at 6 anything is better than what I had.

I'm still learning the models myself, but the ones that stick out in my mind (in no particular order) are:
106 - Love the slope of the front end 169 - Nice looking 16hp beast 1650 - 16hp Hydro with that sweet looking over and under front end! If you've got the budget for it who wouldn't want a Super? I still think the Original is the best looking Cub. The old school tractor look was never matched in terms of style IMO.

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.
