Terry M-(Moderator) 2,175 #7 Posted July 4, 2017 Is the cub going to be a worker? or is it just a toy? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find it somewhat easier to move several hundred pounds of stone or logs letting the Kohler do the work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're looking for one, try the Vine on farmallcub.com website. http://www.farmallcub.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=223 You might find one close to your area. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crazyredhorse 295 #19 Posted May 29, 2021 Was there any reason for the offset on the cub other than maybe the steering? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It, and the Farmall A and the Farmall B, were designed for cultivating, so the offset was so the operator could have a better view of what he was cultivating, doing, etc. Ford also made a cultivating, or offset tractor, the 541, I believe. If I'm not mistaken, a few other brands made offset tractors also, mainly in the '40s and '50s.

I have noticed too the land tire while plowing a furrow seems to be the first one to spin. Maybe along with a line of sight, offsetting the weight to the left helps with that issue right off the showroom floor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
