My girl friend has a very small horse farm and uses her yard tractor to pull a small ground driven manure spreader. The Scott tractor she has doesn't have any traction in the mud (An inch of mud and she can't go anywhere). She looking at buying a new yard tractor and has narrow it down to 2 possibilities, a Simplicity with locking differential, and a Cub with hydrostatic drive. Both can be equiped with ag tires. This dealer states that since the Cub has hydrostatic drive which will put power to both wheels the Cub will handle the mud. This dealer sells both brands, but has the Cub in stock and will have to order the Simplicity, so he doesn't have much incentive to lead her wrong. I know the locking differential will work, will the hydrostatic drive? She likes the Cub, it appears to be built heavier.
