Default Terrible problem
All I wanted was something to work around the lot with. Its not a large lot - 2 acres of woods. I needed to smooth out some topsoil, drag some logs, a trailer to haul firewood back and forth. A blower would be a bonus. Nothing 'major'.

Then in under a months time I have two of these. A blade. Chains. Weights. A rusted old junk blower. Im perusing what it takes to do powder coating. Planning parts swaps. And then... just told a guy I would buy another (its a great deal, what can I say!!??). The fleet is growing!

My wife is looking at me strangely.

Although the kids are having an absolute blast driving it up and down the drive.

smh.....

I need to get this under control soon. Is there a self help site?

I just did a quick count in my head and I have at least 16 tractors that I can remember without having to go out and look. So you don't need any help yet.

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.
