QA42 series vs John Deere Model 49 Snow Thrower
Hopefully I don't get banned for posing such a blasphemous question here. Any of you guys ever use both the Cub qa36 or qa42 snowthrower, as well as a John Deere Model 49 Snow thrower?
Reason I ask is because I have the opportunity to acquire a John Deere 300 from my dad. The price is right, but it's got a sweeper on it, not a snowthrower. I currently have a Cub 1450 with a QA42A. It does ok, but I'm always looking around. So my question, is a series 49 John Deere thrower similar, worse, or better in any way than the qa series? I'm willing to bet the John Deere 300 would be an upgrade to my current 1450. The 300 has a K341 Kohler as opposed to my K321, a much nicer custom cab on it, as well as hydraulic output port up front that I don't have on my cub. I'd have to go and find a used 49 Series if I did take the John Deere, so I'm just questioning if its worth the effort, or if they are largely the same as the QA series.

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.
