    I've definitely been enjoying your videos. Thanks for posting them. My maternal grandfather had two IHC Cubs while I was growing up. The first was your expected yellow and white colors from sometime in the 60s or 70s. The other was one of these red, 82 series. He traded the yellow and white one for the red one when I was maybe 8 or 10 years old. I'm not sure if I ever drove the older one but I probably did. I definitely used the red one quite a few times in my teen years helping them mow three or four acres of grass. I don't remember any details on size but I'm sure the mower deck was at least 48 wide.
    I think maybe both you father and son might get a kick out of a custom that I've been working on slowly over the years. If you haven't already done so, go on my channel and scroll back to November of last year and look for a title of, The Colossus project. Kind of fits the bill on being tied into your super garden tractor video here. Keep up the good work!!

    New to your channel . Iooking for a case 448 or similar for ten acre parcel in northern michigan. Have you made any videos on pitfalls for newer tractor buyers, to avoid buyers remorse. It's kinda obvious for some things , straight sheet metal , good rubber things like that. But what about things like swapped parts or worn axles . ps how much weight can a sleeve hitch lift on a 400 series without damaging tractor? Thankyoi

    While I would love a X82 tractor in my collection, I would have to disagree that they were the first super GT based on size.
    Snapper made the MF1855 for Massey Ferguson in 1977. While they only had an 18hp Onan, they had similar weight, 26" rear tires, rear PTO with a Cat 0 3pt.

    The First Series didn't offer Power Steering. That was a John Deere 400 exclusive from 1975 till some time in the 1980's when the Cub Cadet 900 Series finally offered "Hydrostatic Steering". For some reason many Garden Tractor dealers didn't want Power Steering and actually made fun of John Deere when they brought out the 400 with Power Steering. They said no one would want to waste all that money for Power Steering! Note I say "Power Steering", the 400 series had an automotive type power assisted steering. It still used a mechanical steering box. When other companies jumped on to the "Power Steering" band wagon in the 80's and 90's they were all Hydrostatic Steering like was used on Farm Tractors. What I couldn't understand was why it took the others soooo long to offer Hydrostatic steering! Since many Garden tractors had been using Hydrostatic Transaxles that produced the hydraulic system which many used to offer Hydraulic Lifts. All it took was to tap into that same system to make Hydrostatic Steering! One other note is the 982 Cub didn't have a dual range Transaxle like the 400 series JD had. The 400 Series Case had a dual range transaxle too. Made Tilling, Snowblowing and Plowing a bit easier because you could control the slower speeds better. Case also had nothing making adding Hydrostatic Steering to their tractors either since the HyDrive produced the need hydraulic power!

I like all the tractors that Roper built. They were always part of Sears "Premium" line whereas the Murrays, MTD and Dynamarks were their economy models. Ropers were just built a bit sturdier than other lower priced stuff. My favorite Sears were the Early 1970's SS series in Blue and White. Our neighbor had one and I wished we had one too!

      It did indeed. A lot of people would argue that the JD400, the Bolen's HT series, the Simplicity Powermaxes, etc should be the first Super Garden Tractor. It's really just a marketing name that Cub Cadet has the claim on.
