The higher cost of the "enemy's" color
The Mrs. & I took the day & went down to the Minnesota State Fair for a few hours. At the green display was a new & fairly large standard frame tractor with a options sticker & price in the window. After the initial loud gasp from me, I replied loudly "Holy ****!! This icky green paint sure got expensive!!" I know, I know... its a big machine with lots of options. No one else said much which was no matter to me. Never was a fan of that color to begin with.

that's funny.... at the WV state fair there was a big MF dealer setup across from the JD guys. They had a sign made up directly comparing 85HP tractors and showing everyone that the MF was $13K cheaper than the comparable JD w/more options for the money. The JD dealer wasn't too happy to say the least, but all is fair in side by side comparison...

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.
