Hello from NW Alabama

Postby plowboysghost » Tue Feb 18, 2014 11:28 am

I've dropped by and done a good bit of research reading here before buying my first tractor (1950 Farmall Cub) a little over a week ago. I picked up a C2 mower, a disc and some disc hillers with it, and it came with a full set of cultivators mounted. I have done a LOT of study on these in the last few months and think that I made the right choice for what I need a tractor for.
I want one primarily for the acre garden with part time mowing duty capability secondary.

I look forward to learning from those here and hope to contribute to the knowledge base one day.

Best of luck,

Serial #112492. I don't know how many times it's been painted, but I can't see any signs of demonstrator white in any scratched spots.

Well, that is outside the range that has been somewhat identified to be 99536-106517, but for sure, you got a Cub! :big afro:

You will probably like working it more if it is RED anyway! :wink:

Welcome to the group, there 's plenty of Cub knowledge to be found here.

Mike, you need to invest in a good GPS and you won't get lost every year. :lol:
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Thanks for the welcome, ya'll.

After scaling back my garden plans last year to compensate for a deal on a 140 that my neighbor backed out on trading me, which led to a too small front tine tiller-garden....I am really looking forward to winter being over with and the dry out to get started.
