I never under estimate the power of an old Cub Cadet. Which one is that? Original...72...?
NOPE!

farmer steve and Whitespider, you guys are my heroes. I have a little JD 111. With 11hp and a set of chains it has plenty of power and traction to pull a way overloaded 17ct ft cart. I'm sure it could pull more but this darn jersey sand is the limiting factor for me. Not to mention I'm sure I'd kill the transaxle if I tried to pull a load like that...

Ha the pics are awesom. Very impressive actually. Betting it would be a different story here in the hills though. And...its the downhills that would scare me!
This is tuff, a guy naturally wants to pull for the underdog (no pun intended) and side with the little old GT. On the other hand, a man always needs a bigger tractor, it is in our DNA. In fact cave men used to sit around their cave fires of gathered sticks and wi####lly say things like "If I just had a bigger tractor..." The visionary cave man's buddies would all grunt in agreement and then one would add "A bigger chain saw too." They had to settle for sharper rocks and bigger mules, but we today face no such limits, and we owe it to ourselves to live their dreams and buy bigger tractors and saws.

P. S. My wife thinks there is a flaw in my logic, but I told her she doesn't have the DNA to truly understand.:msp_tongue:

It only blanked out the middle letters, n those stand for "Shut the ____ up. So it's likely in the filters. It's combination of the first letters of those words and the f bomb.

that tractor is so ugly i bet it works like a dream, a creation of pure function over years of work and refining!
Real nice!
I moved a 16'w X 24'L X 14' Tall shed one time using an ATV trailer with big balloon tires and a Toro Dingo at the other end. It was really slow and careful going. I was a bit of a legend with the farmers in the area, they were betting big money I couldn't move it with such small equipment.
Hahahahaha! That's funny right there!

I also found that if you have to ask if you need something bigger, the chances are YOU DO! I think you NEED this one:

Yes, I have uses for a bigger tractor... and I've been shoppin' skid-loaders also.
But honestly, that little tractor pullin' that old army trailer lets me maneuver into, and out of, some pretty tight spots in the woodlot... places I just couldn't get to with something larger. And it's never failed to pull the loaded trailer out of the woodlot, up or down hill (but I have had to use the winch to clear a mud hole on occasion). When I put that transmission in low range and low gear I believe I could pull a semi-tractor out' the ditch... provided those tire chains could find traction.
Ummmmm......
Ahhh........
Well............
Hmmmm...... Everything I have is just a bit to large already, thank you :cool2:
