I am a narrow frame guy, so my votes for best are the 72 for a gear drive and the 147 for hydro. I think the cubs with the Z front end are the best looking of them all.

I agree. I love my 147, and enjoy the styling of the front end.

If I had to rate from most enjoyed to least:

1X6/7 series
1X5/4 series
Original
Quiet Line
70/100
1X8/9 series
red
1X2/3 series

Just about any IH cub is good IMO.

I would have to say its any of the IH CC or even the CCC . In my opinion the John Deere tractors are not anywhere in comparison with the cubs. A belt driven verses drive shaft....hmmmm to me the drive shaft tractor seems better to me.

But,as long as you have pride and enjoy the fun times and the great memories that are made thats to me is way more important than anything else. My IH CC has some long lasting memories which there is no price thats even comes close

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.
