Cub Cadet 7260 Review
No Longer made by Cub Cadet/MTD
Posted by Brad Vanek on 01/10/2013
Has actually been a very dependable tractor, but the 2008 merge with Yanmar has left the compact tractor market of Cub Cadet as non-existent. Yanmar has their own tractor line (with their famous diesel engine) but it still has very limited sales in US.
The Cub Cadet 7260 tractor was an MTD parent company with a Mitsubishi 3 cyl. diesel. No dealerships in my area and was bought new from a fledgling enterprise In Woodland, WA. that is no longer in business. Not a good scenario and thank goodness the tractor has been a tough and dependable performer.

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Very durable and also trouble free Mitsubishi engine. Simple but excellent design and good floor space enables you to get off from either side.
Cons: Issues with electical glow plugs went out (possibly due to relay) the glow plugs were off the chart expensive and one of a kind. also the loader is very strong (Cub Cadet loader) but there is a bolt mounting issue whereas the front bracket extends forward along the frame and the mounting bolts actually end up being the motor mounts as well. I have since removed the longer bolts that go through the loader and into the frame/motor as they are not really necessary and the main portion is attached to the loader mounting frame on the tractor.
