Just a Cubbin'

[T-Mo-(Moderator) 4,496]

After I got home from this year's Cubarama (or Cub-Arama, if you wish), I got both the '47 and the '50 Farmall Cubs out for a little bit of fresh air.  Since these pictures, I mounted a 42 Woods mower and front wheel weights to the '50.  The '47 has the mounting brackets installed when I put on the 54A front blade, it has the fast hitch, and I have a fast hitch moldboard plow for it, if and when I can go to a plow event.

Sweet ! ! !      always admired the cubs......especially with a blade...

  I've always wanted one of those...just not sure how I would store it. Space is a premium here and those would need plenty of space   !

  Nice storage/workshop you have .

Mike,

They're great, little tractors (little compared to a, say a Farmall M or a John Deere 830).  But they do take up more space than a garden tractor.  Prices aren't too bad on these either.  The implements is where you can really spend the money, especially the fast hitch implements, plus the fast hitch itself.  The Lo-Boys are a bit smaller, lower and shorter, and a tad bit smaller on the wheel base.  The main thing is, all the Cubs only pack about 9 hp, but they can do some serious work.  They could use a bit more hp.  Both of mine have the touch control hydraulics, which makes lifting the implements easier.

 

For size comparisons, here is my '47 next to my Wheel Horse 551.

Very nice looking tractors! These are what my father would have used growing

up on our family farm in Iowa!

Very nice!  Brings back memories of my Grandpa's farm. 

He had a 1948 Cub that he bought new and used on his raspberry- blueberry farm.
