I hate to keep posting about buying a new tractor, but want to get an
opinion:

John Deere vs Cub Cadet and why. I think this will make my mind up.
thanks

I've made my mind up for sure good buddy.

Consumer Reports rates JD as most reliable. The Cubs are now made by MTD.
I bought the JD.

I believe you'll find that not all John Deere tractors come out of the
Deere plant either.

They have been for at least the last 30 years.

I said as much yesterday but I have yet to find confirmation. If you have
a source to prove it I would like to know.

Didn't know that. I've never liked them but they have their fan club.

I recently bought a JD 125. At least this model is made by JD in their
plant.

So far, I'm pleased with it. Nothing fancy, it cuts grass well, mulching
seems to be OK. I haven't added any accessories yet, so I can't comment
on them.

IMHO, my $9000.00 Cub Cadet is no better than a
Murray/Roper/MTD/Craftsman/ECT... It's been back to the shop 5 times
for serious problems and has less than 180 hours on it. 2
transmitions, charge pump, steering and brake problems. I'll never buy
a CC again.

My 9 year old JD GT262 with a 48 inch deck a 48 inch snow thrower and a
trailer that I lug around overloaded Is doing just fine - no problems.
Tomes

5-year-old White 42" with L-head Briggs (twin opposed) and hydrostatic
transmission.

180 hours on the meter.

Never been to the shop.

Used for mowing the lawn (approx 2 acres), brush-mowing trails in the
field and woods, and hauling dirt, yard debris, and tools.

It gets a fresh belly full of Mobil 1 synthetic every Fall before being
put to bed for the winter.
