Default Building the Cabin Road
I have some land in the mountains where I plan on building a small cabin soon. I've got my building site all picked out - just need a road to get there.

Been putting together a few implements to help with this task - I've shared them here before on other threads but thought you might like to see them in action.

Here is a cub 149 helping build the cabin road...

You're very good at putting together a video!!! It's awesome seeing your cub in action with different attachments. Can't wait to see your cabin when you get it done.

Nicely done video! Just add some rear wheel weights to it and watch how much more it can do!

Oh I'd love to have a set - would love to see what they can do. I'm thinking weights on the front wouldn't be a bad idea either. Going up the steep slopes on this road lightend the steering to much. Wheels actually came off the ground. (not shown in the video)

I also plan on using the cub to do some logging. I'm working up some ideas for a log dolly. Need something to drag the logs out of the woods. I like the idea of the small tractor - less impact on the land.

Cool video! Pics are great but videos are so much better. Looks like building that cabin road turned out great; having a reason to play with your cub is even better!

Great video 149 - 498944
Looks like the ripper shank worked good.
I have one, just never used it yet.
I am looking forward to trying it out though

Great video and fun to watch someone use these little tractors to their potential. My Grand Dad taught me to always crest a dirt/gravel road in the middle to keep from getting mud holes after it rains. Keep up the good work!

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.
