I plowed and worked down our garden this evening and was planning on putting out potatoes and onions tomorrow but the weather forecast is not very promising for such activities. I'll sure be glad when I get the 3pt lift on the 128, the ole 125 beat the living daylights outta me today :wacko: . I like the 125, but the "wide rides" rule in my opinion. I'll post some pics of the garden when I get a chance.

Do you have a tiller for your Cub?

I have a plow, disk, and a small rear tine WB that works good if the ground is plowed first. Would rather have a tiller for my :Cub3

A few years ago, I started planting little yellow pear shaped tomatoes, about the size of cherry tomatoes. I have a hard time getting folks to try them, but once they do they are hooked. Bessie Mae ( my dog/child ) and I sit in the garden and eat them like popcorn. In fact, Bessie cruises the yellow tomatoes and strawberries on her own if I don't get out there in time.

mac d,
I don't have a tiller for my Cubs. It's one of those "wish list" :praying: items that I haven't got to yet. My buddy brought his 782 with a Cat 0 hitch disc and broke it down good after I plowed. Our garden is pretty small and I've been thinking about buying one of those micro tillers like a Mantis or one of the other brands because on stuff our row are somewhat more narrow than conventential row spacing so I can't get a full size tiller in there.

Thoses Mantis tillers work great in a small garden. I have a Cub Cadet weed eater that uses a split shaft and can except attachments, one of the attachments is a tiller (similar to a Mantis) and I really like that thing for weeding. :Thumbsup

As long as I can remember, my parents have had a 75'x35' garden...so I grew up spending a lot of time out there. As soon as my wife and I built this house 'out in the sticks', we mapped out where the garden was going.. :lol: ..

We'll be putting out our garden for this year as soon as the weather is decent, and the ground dries up some....right now the garden is a slop hole!!.

Our garden is about 50'x40'

My wife has one end about 6' wide in strawberries :Thumbsup

The rest of the garden usually ends up with 3 kinds of sweet onions (Texas Sweet, Wala-Wala, Vidalia...they all get about the size of a softball), green onions, 3 kinds of tomatos, 2 kinds of beans, 2 kinds of peas, 2 kinds of potatos, carrots, green peppers, bananna peppers, jalopeno peppers :Thumbsup , sweet corn, pumpkins, watermelon, zuchini, and a couple of different kinds of squash.

We use the Cub Cadets to plow, till, and cultivate. For the last 3 years, I have also plowed mom and dads garden with a Cub Cadet. This year I bought a sleeve hitch disk, and soon to arrive is another section...so I'll have a tandem disk set -up too :Thumbsup

Macdaddy,
Your garden is looking good.

Too wet in Northwest Ohio to plant any garden :(

For the past 3 years I have been attempting to grow a garden.
But the white tail deer seem to get more out of it than I do.
Last year the deer destroyed my sweet corn crop and devowered my sweet peas and green beans, ate the tops off the carrots and beats, they even ate my peper plants.
However I do not complain to much about it as I look at it this way,I plant a garden in the spring and still get a harvest in the fall, albeit via a 270 rifle.

So far this year all I have managed to get planted are 24 hills of russet potatoes and 20 hills of red potatoes.
The rest of the garden will get planted come memorial day weekend.
If I get time I will take a snap shot of my small garden, it only measures 60 feet wide by 186 feet long, small by comparison to what we had as a garden growing up on the farm.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
