I looked at a Lowboy on the same day I saw the 982, but they wanted $3000! I don't see too many of those around that are in good shape for the money I paid. I just wanted a lawn mower with a little beef to it. Now I have two, but the Ford's...uh..."floating" deck leaves something to be desired, so I got the 982 with the Haban. I have tractors with loaders, a backhoe and an excavator for big work, like digging another pond....

Ok. So now I know.
deputyrpa, I got to tell you... I never saw a 1 acre pond coming when talking about working tractors. But it sure looks good. Did you have to line it with clay? |

NO. Actually, this is one of the few spots on my property that does not have clay on the surface. I hit blue clay 14' down. The bucket just sinks under weight in that stuff (it weighs 2 tons, though) I took about two feet of it out, and replaced about a foot of gravel for 15' total depth. I had to be careful - at 38 tons, you would be hard pressed to get that machine out of that clay because of the intense suction. That's my buddy's Hyundai 360 LC-7 that I borrowed. I have a smaller 15 ton Mitsubishi. It took me 7 hours to dig out the 2/3-acre pond with that one with its 3-yard bucket. Mine would have taken several loooong days.

It's quality seat time Diz! The power of that machine is crazy, and I took it up the hill and removed some car-sized rocks from one of my pastures. My friend was extremely gracious to lend it to me. Here's a pic of him on the right with my father/son hunting buddies. My "second wife" neighbor is scooting away.
Just getting it moved back and forth 20 miles cost me about $1K, but as you can see, it was well worth it. My machine would probably be still in the hole! |

I was looking for a lowboy, but I couldn't find any localy. I did trip into a deal on a 106 by chance though. With work looking iffy and retirement in a few yrs. I guess I'll let the Low Boy for you younger cubbers. I'll just keep my 2 cubs in order the 106 with turfsaver tires & my good ole 147. PS: I was chased in again today hard t'storms. Hail yesterday. Check out the pics, the one of the deck was while the hail was coming down. ole 147 |

I own an I H 982 and also a 185 and 154 Cub Lowboy and I can state this as fact: the 982 will out perform the 2 lowboy tractors at cutting grass no matter how thick the grass is and I use them on my yard and my rental properties which can get out of control rather quickly. My Onan/Linamar LX790 replacement engine did great till it slung a rod and I'm not having much luck finding the compatible replacement so I'm going to go back with either a 25 or 27hp Kohler, both of these have stronger tourque than the Linamar did.

You could also go with a mag 20 also which would be an easier swap and should be as much torque as the 25 kohler command

I agree that M20 would likely be the easy swap, the tourque on the M20 and the CH 750 (model replacement) are way more expensive $1000.00 + and the 25 Kohler has 7.1 pounds more torque 39.9 than the M20 32.80 and the 27hp has 42.7 lbs and I want a new engine for the 982 and it is what I think would work well in it if the transmission can handle the power.

The transmission should have no problems what-so-ever handling the extra power. The hydros in these are extremely strong. The only failures I ever see in them, is the axles breaking. The transmission istself probably won't fail unless it has been very neglected. You can abuse them. Just don't neglect them.

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.
