"I use this little tractor every day. I have a 1953 farmall, but I love this little. It pulls about a ton. It is a cub cadet 125 and is a working model. It put a lot of the newer models to shame. I know because I have a bench mark zero turn and it can't keep up to the cub and it is old, and it is easy to work on when you know what you are doing. Me, I am just learning. I will have to take a picture of it one day."

"I have two Cubs one from 1966 and the other one that I purchased in 2000. They have both been good to me. I am in the process of restoring the older cub. The 2186 has about 325 hours on it. The only repairs I have done to it is work on the steering, by replacing the steering gears, the wheel bearings& the steering bushings. I did this as the steering became loose. The tractor has been very dependable. I have two sets of blades, so one set is always sharp. The 125 I have used recently to plow snow. The only problem with this, is the wheel chains, tear up the driveway sealer. The past year I purchased a snow thrower for it. I would recommend either model. "
