Default Isn't it funny....
That your cub isn't heavy enough when pushing snow no matter how much weight it has but when it comes to a soupy lawn it can't be light enough? I mowed my back yard today with the 147 and it was a bit squishy. She sank in at one point and I had to put it in reverse and get off and push.

That is when you get on another cub and pull your first cub out. I bought a winch to hook up to the U bracket of my 3 point hitch, but have never hooked it up.....but it sounds like your situation would have been a great chance to have used a setup like that.

Hearing your situation reminds me of a very funny "cub scout" moment I had when I was looking for a cub to buy...


I stopped to ask a young lady, who was mowing with her red craftsman, how much she wanted for her broken down 108 in the back yard. As she stopped her mower in the swampy part of her front yard, I knew she was in trouble when I saw the top of her deck sink below the mud. She got off of her mower and I told her that I would lift it out--didn't mind since I had my old kickers on and I felt guilty for having her stop her work in a mud bog. She said, "Yeah right...you can do that." I explained to her that I'm in pretty decent shape and that I lift things a lot heavier than that all the time. I asked her to put it in gear while I lifted it out and then stop it when it got out of the mud. She said she would help and I kept assuring her that I had it if she would just stop it when it got out, but she insisted. Sooooooo.......when it got out of the mud and took off....and it took off quickly.....with no one to stop it, it ran into a tree and the lady was leaning forward when it broke free of the mud and she did a Superman into the mud. I had mud over the top of my boots so I moved real slow to get out of the mess. She came up from her superman position with a mud facial, mud in her hair and all over her shirt and pants. I choked back a hard laugh because all that I could think of was Miss Piggy. I'll never forget the image of her and I laugh every time that I drive by her house!

OOpppsss.....sorry, got carried away and had diarrhea of the mouth again.

So did you get the 108? I'm guessing she didn't give you a "Lew" price after that! LoL

She priced it to me for $30, the motor had excellent compression, but she asked me to come back when I could get my trailer back to it without making ruts in the yard. I called back many times, but she never got back with me...

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.
