Cub GT 2518-48

The closest thing I have to a tractor is a 21" Honda walk behind! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif However, I recently bought 1 1/2 acres and I'm looking to buy a GT this spring. I've been looking at the 2000 and 2500 series from Cub. I've looked at tons of tractors from every brand available and it just seems that Cub has the best bang for the buck.

dmanspadge you hit the nail on the head bang for the buck is right, I've had 2 other cubs a 2135 and 2166 both had over 300 hours before i sold them and not even a single hint of a problem.The 2000 series from cub will have the cast iron tranny the same as the 2500-3000 series in 2005 so they have added even more bang for the buck. I also heard the paint will be a little different with black running gear, as to what black running gear means, frame? deck? I'm not sure, congrats on your land purchase now you can buy you a new toy to maintain it /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif be sure to post pics when you get your toy of choice /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif I'll post a pic of my old cub shortly.

here's the 2166 the day I traded for my 2523-54, it's saying it's good bye before it's trip to the Cub dealer /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Wow! That 2166 still looks brand new!

This a bit off the subject guys, but I am thinking of having Line-X spray the bottom of my 48" deck to protect it. I had my truck bed done and have found out they use this stuff on industrial equipment. TOUGH AS NAILS! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

 

[cubmaster]

thanks for the tip! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

 

[DmansPadge]

Wow... that might just be a great idea. If you do it, let us know how it works out and what it costs.

If I switch to these tires will I have to reset the height adjustment on my deck?
(Carlisle turf master 4 ply's or Super lugs in rear & turf master in fronts )

Yes !! but you also added deck cutting height, which isnt a bad thing to have either /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I would like a bit wider tire, but am happy with the height for now. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
