They sure are a great little tractor. Unbeatable for small area cultivating to this day, in my opinion. Darn good on fuel, and completely un-obstructed view of the rows. If only our, almost constant heavy rains, would let up a bit here in upstate NY, so I could get out there with my own. I was able to get some good ditches in today (mostly with a shovel), so it shouldn't be long. I use that little Cub a lot, compared to most of my other tractors. If I have time, and can get a job done with 10 hp, why use more? Reluctantly, I converted it to 12 volts to run a demand sprayer. With that, I spray apple trees, and put down roundup while cultivating field-corn. The Cub works year-round, in the winter on our frequent snowstorms. It is surprising to me how well that 2 wheel drive tractor pushes snow, with a front blade and no chains. I do have new, loaded R1 tires on the back which make a big difference there. They push significantly better than the worn out, unloaded R1's with chains that I had on it prior. Except for the time last winter, when we had a big flood and there was a sheet of ice under the snow. The little Cub would not even move with the blade up then. I had to bring out my much larger, modern, 4 wheel drive, also with unchained, loaded R1 tires to get the job done. Much to my surprise, that one got the job done with little if any wheel spin.
