In Business
Well most of you guys know that I was helping a friend with his new lawn care business. He has been having some very serious health problems and will not be able to continue. So after much consideration, I have taken over the business. I'm changing the name and I'm going to give it a go on my own. When they got the equiptment they bought a bagger for the Tank. Well after 2 months waiting for cub to build them I decided to go another way today. I ended up getting this pull behing vac for the same price, and the cub rep said since they couldn't get me the bagger fast enough, that when they get them built they'll send me one for about half price
 . Also while I was there I ended up trading the walk behind (POS) for a 2 stage blower for the super . Going back tomorrow to do some more dealing . Gonna focus on leaf removal this fall since it's so late in the year for grass. So the vac should come in handy. After the leaves are done I'll be going into the plowing business to. Keep your fingers crossed for me .

Congrats Eric - the one bit of advice I'd give you is that if he's got a good client base, I'd consider keeping the name. If it's been around a long time and he's got a good reputation, that's worth a lot in business. Once you change the name, you kind of fall into the alphabet soup of all the lawn care businesses out there.

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.
