Default How far would you drive for a cub

I was looking at some attachments for my cub but they are about five hours away, was debating whether it is worth driving that far. The furthest I have gone for a cub related item was 2.5 hours. So that got me curious, how far are you all willing to drive for a cub/attachment/part that's on craigslist or something of the like? or if you have, whats the furthest you've gone for a cub?

i've picked up cubs from as far as 9 hours away but i was already passing through, the furthest i've ever went specifically to pick up a cub is when i went to Lew's to pick up the 1211 which was a little over 5hrs each way.

If you drive 2x faster, it takes only 1/2 the time.

I'm about 50 miles North of St. Louis...

I've been to Florida to pick up 3 parts tractors (all 3 had 3 point hitches).

Went to the East end of Kentucky to pick up 7 tractors and a ton of parts.

Went to Michigan once.

Been to Indiana several times.

A couple of trips to Ohio.

2 trips to a small town near Columbia Mo.

Once to a town in Illinois, North of Chicago (West of the lake) with a religious sounding name.

Once to Minneapolis.

Twice to Wisconsin.

Once to a town just North of Carbondale Il.

3 trips to Arcola Il.

2 trips to Iowa in the last month.

And probably another 10 or 12, 100-200 mile trips that don't really stand out in my mind.

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.
