My Cub Cadet 7260
Model Year: 1998
Has been a great tractor. The only problem I've ever had with it was I needed to replace a control module for the glow plugs. Cost me about $50. I use this tractor to maintain my 1/4 mile driveway (summer and winter), haul all my firewood, bush hog a 5 acre field several times a year, run a chipper, powers my wood splitter, and powers my C.C. backhoe. It has enough power to do everything I need it to do. I have 4 loaded R4 tires, and am very happy with them. I looked at John Deere, New Holland, and Kubota before buying the C.C. I compared them feature for feature, and for price, and for me the C.C. came out on top. Couple that with a great dealer, and I've been very happy.
Pros: Very reliable, comfortable, fuel efficient.
Cons: The location of the fuel tank makes it kind of hard to get at. It's easy to spill some fuel when refueling.
