Are your tractors used for show or working Both. The Ford and Massey are the workers. The other 2 get to pull the manure spreader and haul off the trash to the convience site 2 miles down the road. Makes me feel good to run them once a week at least.
How much Land do you work (Acres) 20 +/- In the foot hills of Western NC. I have very little flat land.
What was your first tractor experience (does not have to be a Farmall or Cub) Riding on my neighbors Ford 3600 as a kid. It was all down hill from there.
What is your Cub's primary work Pulling a manure spreader, going to shows and leaking a little oil on the floor
What is the favorite Cub of all which you have owned and why I have only owned the one. I bought it because it was at my local tractor shop and I was the first to inquire about it. It just happened. No planning at all. Funny thing is I had bought a toy cub of the same model at the TSC a year or so before.
What first sparked your interest in owning a Cub My Neighbors daughter married a young man who had restored a older cub low boy. They had it at the wedding. I drooled all over it.
What task/use of your Cub provides the most enjoyable seat time Parades I think. It is very satisfying to work it too.
Favorite thing you like about Cub's and Cadets Easy to work on and tough as nails.
Describe your most satisfying or frustrating experience working on your own or someone else's Cub After owning diesel tractors for 20 plus years it took a week or so to realize the points in my cub was causing a high speed miss and not the carb. I forgot all about tractors having points . LOL
Do you host or participate in CubFests, Cubarama, Mini-CubFests? How so? I have not yet. I hope too. I attend a few local shows and I am a member of the Foothills Antique Power Association in Hickory NC.
