Anywho.... Not a big fan of hydraulic tillers. Too many expensive parts to fail. I'll keep my belt driven ones. They don't leak oil, or have an expensive pump and motor on them. Too much BS on those. You guys can say I'm **** whatever**** but I know a good design when I see one. I'll get a SCUT/CUT and a 540 PTO tiller before I get one of those GT combo's. The SCUT/CUT foot control hydro's seem to be much better than the GT ones. Probably because they cost a bunch more money. |

I'm guessing you can't play drums. So how well can you steer adjust your speed and operate your hydraulic controls at the same time??? Basic human anatomy shows we only have two hands, not three. I'm not a fan of most GT foot controls either, they lack precision. Even SCUT/CUTs with foot controls can be lacking especially if you need to use your heal for reverse. It's user preference that's all. I will say I'd rather have a SCUT with a rear 540rpm PTO too. It probably won't mow as nice but that short coming is offset by the other things. I could easily live without a locking rear too if I had individual wheel brakes. That way I'd be able to use both of my feet and hands at the same time even if one hand is only operating a 12 ounce dispenser.

Beats me? The only farm tractors we had that had them I was taught to LEAVE IT ALONE!!!! Dad tried to get one out of a mud hole some kid drove in once and broke the differential lock. We kept enough implements being repaired with the wheels slipping, would hate to see if we had the rears locked together.

Just making conversation.... not debating:
I do not play drums. Quote:
To not quote all you said, but go off of it, yes, a "tractor" is better all the way around. These machines were just a bit ahead of their time, and they clearly were a transition tractor to the SCUT's. Now days the lawn mowers are basically lawn tractors, with little or no ability to be a "tractor" outside of looks. If you want to ground engage, you need a SCUT. Back then, anyone who needed that kind of machine likely already owned one. How many suburbanites bought a Cub Cadet O, or the subsequent models and the only thing it ever did all it's life was cut grass?? A lot of them, and that's the truth. Frustratingly enough to me, the SGT's... even ones with a 3pt and rear PTO. How many of those machines are there out there that neither of those two things have EVER been used for their actual purpose?? Most of them. Heck, there are guys on here who would trip over each other and fight for one... and never use it like intended. Cut grass with it, or park it in the shed and look at it. Silly. But back to the quoted part.... it's not all user preference that I'm looking at. Far more. I don't care for the rear end, the endless hydraulics, the whole design of the machine. Frankly, I don't care for the hydraulic controls on the left side. All farm tractors they are on the right. Every control should be on the right side as far as I'm concerned. None on the left at all. Left hand is for steering, right hand works the levers. I don't want to switch what I spend a lifetime doing. But mainly.... I just don't like the build. And I really don't like the hydraulic tiller. Just too expensive, bulky and if there is an issue big dollars to fix. But I do agree.... OPINION. I'm not disagreeing with you. Just stating my position. |

Never needed diff lock on my 1811. Oh, sure it would be nice.... but with loaded tires and wheel weights, if you spin a tire, your out of traction anyway. Diff lock isn't going to make much difference.

The funny part about this is I think that if any of the tractors listed in your signature have factory hydraulic controls they would be mounted on the left hand side also...

The dual stick 1250 has them on the right next to the hydro. I haven't ever driven it, as it was in pieces when I got it, and I've never put it together. Curious if I'd like it better. |

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.
