Are your tractors used for show or working? Working only
How much Land do you work (Acres)? just 1 now, I used to farm hundreds of acres
What was your first tractor experience (does not have to be a Farmall or Cub)? I remember driving the Farmall H, standing up, when I was way too small to reach pedals from the seat
What is your Cub's primary work? Tillage, mowing grass, plowing snow, snow-blowing, hay rides
What is the favorite Cub of all which you have owned and why? I like them all equally
What first sparked your interest in owning a Cub? My son bought one and I became interested.

Describe your most satisfying or frustrating experience working on your own or someone else's Cub? Last year we bought a Cub (cheap) that had sat outside, not run in over 15 years. Tried to start it, no go. Switched the ignition wires for a 180 degree change, started instantly, ran like new.
Do you host or participate in CubFests, Cubarama, Mini-CubFests? How so? We are fortunate to have several forum members close by. Occasional Mini-Fests locally, and I’ve travelled by ground and air to some big ones as far away as the DSCF in Florida and the Barnyard Bash in Ohio.

Hey, I know somebody named Bob Perry... he was the go-to guy when I was about to give up on the flail mower and the weeds over my head! Thankfully I didn't need rescue after all, but he was ready to help!
