If bragging rights is what you are after, look for and restore a 169 or a 126 and trick them out with all the available options.

Both are very limited production GT's units as is the 800

I have pulled my 3k lb trailer around and the only thing that has mattered in all of these cases is traction. Nothing else matters. If you are going to cut high grass then you have to go slow. If you are going to pull heavy loads then you have to have the traction and take it slow. The K301 is a fantastic engine. I cant think of an application where the K341 gets the job done and a K301 cant do it with 4/3 the time. When am I ever throttling my K341 to get the power to do a job ? I dont expect to ever be in that situation.
Sounds like my best option is finding a good set of ag tires for tractions and possibly another set of weights. I use it to cut some grass around the field and a couple other places I don't want to take my newer Scag zero turn and you're right about just having to take it slower and take my time in the taller stuff, especially with the design of those old mower decks compared to today's.

I think you can keep the K301 and use it without issue
Thank you for your opinion! I have a 105 that I used to plow snow with and you're right about that k241 and once I have it rebuilt it should have plenty of power since that 54 year old engine is starting to get tired. It was my great grandfather's personal tractor since new and as far as I know the engine has gone untouched so it's overdo for a rebuild at this point. Lots of blow by on that engine but my k301 on the other hand is running good so I'll leave things alone and just focus on fixing the last little oil leak I have left on it and that 129 should be completely leak free finally.

I think my wallet better just stick with this 129 lol. My plan has been to keep adding options to this tractor since the only 2 169's I've seen listed for sale are more than I want to pay and never see any 126's or the 800's for sale.

I agree.
My 100 moved that heavy snow plow snow, that is soft, and all balled up wet slushy mess.
I put it in second gear, full throttle, with a 10 foot run and had no problem moving it off the street, and into my yard a few feet.
I didn't get my wheel weights on yet, so I spun more than I would have liked (hard on the chains)
I was impressed with it, since I'm used to the power of my 2182, but that little 100 with the K241 worked great for the snow plow fun.

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.
