- Here are the pros and cons for the Farmall Cub tractor on a small farm or homestead: Price, Performance, and Parts! Plus, a few things to think about. An all around great tractor, but I may be biased!
Thanks to Dan Ohmann at Grass-Fed Homestead for the footage of the Cub plowing sod!

These little Cubs are such cool machines. We went with a Ford 8N for our homestead as we already own a pretty beefy garden tractor for small plow/cultivating work, but you can't beat small rowcropping with that offset engine and side implement mount!
In our area, a nice running Cub with a fresh set of paint goes for $1200-1500. An 8N/Ferguson of the same vintage for $2000-2500. For just a bit more dough, you get a much stronger engine, a 3 point hitch, and bigger rears with more torque. But your example shows the little Cub is still very capable!
I like Ford 8N’s too. They’re probably my second favorite tractor! The Cub is still tops for me though! Thanks for watching!
@@vnthomas16 Thank you for sharing your footage, subscribed :D
Yes to all your comments, well except one. The fast hitch is fast, but implement specific! I have acquired several Cubs of late and enjoy your videos. As a visual learner seeing it done is a big help. Mine are all drawbar Cubs with most all the equipment. I do need to locate a planter/fertilizer for one however. Not farming with them, garden and utility usage. I also have the Asian tractors w/loader for what they are best at. That $2,000 was money well spent (even a few years ago). I am 15 or less miles from Dave Steiner’s big warehouse should I need something for a repair, so no worries there. The facts seem to be that many people have no mechanical ability, and the sub compact market has low interest and forever payments. They still can’t cultivate like a Cub! Best to have more than one arrow, especially if it is better suited and inexpensive!
I have a 1951 Cub and I love it, I just wish I had more implements for it!

Hey Gregg, I know it's been a day or two since you comment but if you still your Cub check out Agri-Supply.com, they probably have attachments that you may need.
We got two cubs that used to belong to my grandpa that he used all the time when he was still alive, we still use them all the time during the year except for winter. Its got a belly mower I use to cut all the tall grass behind the shed an along the woods all throughout the year. I believe it's a 1948 or 49 I can't remember for sure but I know I love that old little work horse
july 19 2022, instead of watching the alstar game ( it's on in the background) I'm watching your farmall
cub video for the second time . I watched about 2 yr's ago, after I bought my 47 farmall cub that hadn't run in
40 years and was in a tabacco shed but moisture still locked it up and valves were stuck and seats rusted.
and plenty other stuff after i got it unlocked . I paid way to much and there not really any cheaper for buying parts.
Tommorrow buying a 48 cub, found a good deal this time.Now I know if you want to use the moldboard 193 plow.
you need to get a cub with everything there, like the deepth handle. & when getting one with a attached 1 row cultivator, they should have the drawbar in the shed. And never buy one locked up as the head don't come off where
it's got the valve seat and valves in it ,cause there a flat head and you have to stand over the motor or goin throught the side to unhook valves and rehook the stems. and the blocks don't have sleeves. so only way to bring one back is
off to the machine shop with it. So this time I know all this stuff.and getting one complete , for decent price. Be nice to have hyd lift , but less complicated that way like getting an old car with out the air conditioning in the way. Hopin no c. chloride in the tires. rims look good so hopin'. back to your video
The Farmall Cub is possibly the most useful machine ever created by man. Mine does all manner of plowing snow and general dragging stuff around for me. How much do I love my Cub? While my new garage was being built, the 2018 Cadillac CT6 and 2018 Silverado 4x4 stayed outside in the weather while the Cub was all nice and dry and cozy in the attached garage.
Haha! Our Cub is in the shop, our other tractor is in a lean-to, but both our vehicles are out in the weather! We love our Cub and it’s works hard for us! Thanks for watching!
@@vnthomas16 Yep! The other vehicles are worth more, but when the snow really flies and buries us like it did last night, ONLY the Cub can get us out!
Just bought my first antique tractor, a 1948 Cub and man I am excited! Subscribed
Thanks!
I own a 1949 cub an its amazing! My local IH dealer was able to get all the parts I needed! Great video!
Growing up, we had a 1940-something Farmall A. 17hp. It came with a back blade, mounted cultivator; a disc, a cultipacker, one bottom plow, hydraulic power pack, and a spring tooth harrow. Ran like a champ, and was easy to maintain. Did everything we asked of it. Ours had no lights, and no starter- so the wiring was even simpler, lol. You cranked it to start. Definitely not as quiet as your cub, lol! These things were built tough, out of real steel. Dad accidentally dropped a tree on ours, one day out cutting wood. all it did was knock the air filter off, and put a small dent in the fuel tank- which we popped back out no problem. Try that with a modern tractor, lol.
Speaking of horsepower,
A lot of the confusion comes from how it's rated and advertised these days. At the crankshaft hub, using a bare engine w/cooling system only. The figure quoted is just engine hp- a relatively useless figure. Tractors like your Cub, and our Model A were rated for drawbar HP, using the Nebraska test. A much more useful #- as it actually tells you how much power you have available to USE. It's also a fair bit lower than engine HP, due to all the parasitic loads from accessories, transmissions, final drives, hydraulics, etc. Nowadays, PTO HP is the more useful of the numbers you'll commonly see. Most impliments are rated for the minimum pto hp needed. Websites like Tractordata are very useful for finding out all sorts of info on all kinds of tractors- old and new.
pyroman6000 How apropos! I was just talking with a friend on the differences between how HP is rated today vs. then. Reminds me of the old joke, “Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you...” Haha! Thanks for watching!
Mines a 53 , and I enjoy it very much! Good job on the video! Thanks for sharing!
I couldn’t agree more with everything you said about the Cub. My grandfather had a Cub he bought brand new in 1948. My dad restored it about 10 years ago and has won plenty of ribbons and trophies at Ag shows. The original bill of sale was for something like $450 I believe. He bought it on credit and put up two hogs as collateral!
One implement you will really enjoy will be cultivators after you get that garden started this year. I believe the Cub is the perfect tractor for this function, it high enough up to cultivate many mature plants, it is offset so you can easily see what you are cultivating, along with all of the either perks you mentioned.
$2,000 for everything you got with this, thats a good buy. There are a ton of implements for this and they are readily available. It would be hard to call this your major tractor on any working farm, hobby or production, but it is a great augment for the larger properties and a great starter tractor for someone starting out!
Thanks for sharing this. Great stuff.
Thank you. Great video and gives me confidence to buy one. In UK the tractor alone is £3500.
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video! I know on the farmallcub.com forum there are a few users from the UK. Thanks for watching!
We has 2 cubs on our farm, works great, their my dads favorite tractor. I agree with all of what you said, though in regards for the height issue, the only fix I can think of is getting the low version of the cub but from my findings they're harder to find.
Yes, the Farmall Cub Loboys are more rare. The previous owner made a step to get up on ours so that’s handy. You just have to be real careful on hillsides. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great explanation. I saw one on craigslist that made me want one just for the coolness and the mechanical factor of how well it's made and the longevity. I have a Kubota with a loader, just want one of these to tinker with and putter around, awesome machines
We have a New Holland with a loader, and it’s great, but the Cub still gets used just as much, if not more than the NH!
The cub really is the best for a small farm. We have a lot of tractors on the farm that have been lost and rusted in time but as I talk to my folks about fixing them to help on the farm my dad keeps telling me when he was little the entire farm (9 acres) was just managed by out 1948 Farmall cub with nothing else. We plowed with it, harrowed, and cultivated as we only plant vegetables and no grain crops. By the way, what's the title music, could learn it on my banjo.
It is a great tractor! We also have a 40 HP New Holland with a Front End Loader, which is super handy, but we still use the Cub just as much if not more than the NH. Thanks for watching!
One major disadvantage to the earlier ones is the 6 volt positive ground. Dad bought a Cub brand new in 56 and in the early 70's I changed it over to a self exciting Delco alternator and 12 volt negative ground. Makes life a lot simpler.
Our Cub still has the original 6 volt positive ground system. I know a lot of people have changed them over, and IH changed them over when it became the new industry norm, but I don’t know if I would call it a major disadvantage. If doing repairs today, a 12 volt system is certainly easier to get parts for, but our 6 volt system works like a champ! Always starts right up, no matter how cold, and the lights are plenty bright. The only thing I’ve ever done to the electrical system is change the wiring harness. The old one was showing its signs of age. Cracked insulation, etc. Replacing it was easy since I could just buy a pre-made harness that fit perfectly. There are so many Cubs still out there and they’re so popular that parts are pretty easy to obtain. Many OEM, and if not, high quality aftermarket. Is your Dad’s Cub still in the family?
@@vnthomas16 no, it's gone now. Had the planters, disc plow, cultivators, and sickle bar mower. Only problem with the 6 volt system was you couldn't jump it or use it to jump other stuff.
Too bad it’s gone now. They really are great tractors. Thanks for sharing!
I have a 52 Cub and love it. We also have a Kubota BX for loader use.
Yes, always have work for our Cub and love it! Having another tractor for a loader is best of both worlds!
I just love Farmall Cubs! My uncle had one whenI was a kid! I wish I had one even though I have no need for one. I just like them!
Hey! You don’t need a Cub just to have one! They are great little tractors! If you haven’t, check out farmallcub.com . They have a great forum!
nice little cub ... we had a farmall A and now have a farmall 100 .... love these little tractors.... the farmall A blows my mind the stuff and work we put that little thing threw... think the A had about 14 HP and the 100 has around maybe 18 or 19 HP .....
What a great informative Video on the farm all cub! I am more knowledgeable about the cub now, Thank you!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
The farm I worked on as a kid had a couple of Farmalls, not quite that small, though. They were easy for me to handle even as a kid.
All points are true.The offset seat was made so you could look down the rows in a field,and keep going straight.The quick hitch was made so you could back up to your plow or disk hook up and go.No getting off to hook up like a three point hitch.Nice idea but you have to have ih stuff.Good luck,and remember .Why farm some when you can farm all.
Thanks for your overview! We have enjoyed having the offset engine while working in the fields. The Cub really has amazed us with what it can do.
I just bought 10 acres and this is great info. I didn't want to get in debt and don't have the cash for a modern used tractor. I'll really look into one of these.
Great! We love our Cub and were hoping it would help others realize there are options other than super expensive brand new tractors. Congrats on your 10 acres! Good luck!
get a larger tractor like an 8n or farmall letter series
The 8n can't be beat. I like my Cub for mowing grass, but if you are farming, get an 8n.
Ourarbiter depends on your kind of farming
I always wanted one of those. I have a 1952 ford 8n its a good little tractor as well.
I like the 8N’s. If I ever got another tractor, it would be an 8N. Thanks for watching!
Great vid (enjoyed the Bonanza reference)! Switch your rear wheels around to dish out the rims and tires while widening your front end. It makes a HUGE difference for stability!
the front wheel axles will slide out for a wide stance
Love the part about safety. As a 40 equipment operator, you are right. The more horsepower the more chances you take. I have a Farmall cub and I keep is slow and flat and comfortable.
Better safe than sorry, right? I like farming and want to do it for a long time! Thanks for watching!
FYI your snow blade on the front can be reconfigured and go underneath the tractor, like a road grader. It is awesome in that position for grading gravel in your driveway. Unlike the rest of the implements, that push blade is heavy and almost impossible to slide under the tractor. I built a cart for it. I can then just roll it under the tractor, connect the hydraulics and then lift it off the cart. Which works supper well. Also, to connect it, the drawbar has to be in the back position, but facing forward. Think putting the plow on, but with the drawbar in the back set of bolts.
Unfortunately our blade can’t be mounted to the mid-position grader position. I wish it could! Our blade was originally bought by the original owner for his first Farmall Cub. When he traded it in for a newer Cub (the one we currently own) he kept all his implements from his first tractor. The problem is his first tractor had the traditional drawbar, but his second tractor (ours) has a fasthitch. We love the fasthitch, but we don’t have the adapter to be able to use the grader blade in the belly position. Luckily the original owner did get the adapter set to be able to mount the Cub-22 mower though… Thankfully as we use that mower all the time! Maybe someday I’ll try and seek out the necessary adapters for the blade, but it has become less of a priority as we have a back blade for both our newer tractor and our horse-drawn forecart. Thanks for watching!
My Grandfather bought a new Farmall Cub in 1949 to exhibit a spray rig he had invented. It was used to spray Johnson grass that was overtaking farm fields in our area. He had the patent on the spray rig until it expired. At that time, large implement companies were able to build their own without rigs without paying him anything.
Do you still have your grandfather's Cub? They are great tractors! We still love ours!
You explain everything so we'll, makes us wanta buy one,,,also good to see the fresh snow life again...fla.
Thank you!
My father had a Cub for years, after he died, we couldn't get it working for a while. While it was out of commision, my cousin made off with it, and trucked it 3 hours away to his small farm. Think I might finally get a new one, especially after realizing how cheap and available they still are.
It’s been a good little tractor for us! Best of luck on the search!
Figure out how wide you can go and widen your wheels front and back. I am 2 notches from being all the way out, plus I have rear wheel weights, inside and outside to keep it from getting to wide. When going across hills, keep your engine on the upside of hill. Its harder to bring the engine weight over then if it was down hill. Up until last year I was using mine to mow about 13 acres on 2 old farms. A few times you could feel the pucker factor but not to bad. If your uncertain about tipping. I'd slowly idle out to a spot, get off the tractor and see how much force it would take to try and tip the tractor. With my wheel spacing and weighting, its is pretty stable, I couldn't budge it but still keep it in mind that something can to wrong pretty fast. Remember, when running across a hillside and you feel it going, always steer back down hill to bring tractor back down and don't pull more then the tractor can handle. It can pull but stopping is a whole different story. Stay safe and have fun.
I like driving my papas old John deer model A, she runs like beauty
Old tractors are great! Thanks for watching!
I have a 1967 Cub Cadet 104 and I love it. Your Cub is nice. I wish I had one. I have five John Deere two cylinder tractors too, a John Deere 950 with loader, and three Economy tractors, and some others lol. Too many. Someday I will find a nice Cub.
I like those Johnny Poppers! Thanks for sharing!
Another popular old tractor is the 2-9-8N series tractor because they all have the Ferguson system (3PTH) and implements are very easy to find and parts are also easy to find I love them and if you do decide to buy one may I just suggest to be patient and look for the 1950-52 model which has many important up grades.
Nice video and that Cub looks like it’s a lowboy I never new there was two models pretty cool!! Anyway God bless you and your family and keep that old iron running!
I like the 8N’s. The problem is they’re too popular! Haha! Good tractors, but priced high. Plenty of parts too, but some can be expensive. That’s the problem when something becomes a “collectors item”! My Cub is a regular Cub. Don’t see many LoBoys out here in the west. Thanks for watching!
Just got my 49’ Cub running this year. Got a good bit of plowing done to grow a nice garden. Hoping to get the LoBoy rebuilt and running soon too.
Great tractor! Love the Cubs! Thanks for watching!
My dad had a Cub. It had a front end loader that had a single lift cylinder on the right side.
Yes, IH made a loader, as well there were aftermarket loaders made by Wagner. I’m sure there are others. But, the Cub was really never designed for a loader, and their capacity was quite limited. Yesterday we cleaned the pack out of our barn, and it took all day with our big New Holland. Couldn’t imagine doing it with a Cub! Is your Dad’s Cub still in the family?
@@vnthomas16 my dad sold it back in the early 70’s. Yea the loader was pretty limited on capacity. For loose material it was fine.
It’s too bad it’s not in the family anymore. They’re such great tractors! Thanks for sharing!
Compare the Cub with a modern garden tractor. The garden tractor might be around the same price. It'll have more horsepower than the Cub. It will be able to pull a one-bottom plow just fine (if you switch it to ag tires - they're almost always set up with turf tires). You'll be able to do a lot of the same things with it - front blade, big finish mower (but not sickle), maybe tiller, disking. But the clearance, and tread options don't exist like they do on the Cub. You can rig a cub for mid-mounted cultivators and planters. If you have a PTO, it's a second belt position on the engine spindle, not usually a gear-driven shaft. OTOH, you can probably get a hydrostatic drive on the garden tractor, but the Cub has a pretty low first gear. And for cultivating, mid-mounted cultivators and cultivision are worlds better than a sleeve-hitch implement behind you. So much more precise.
I still have to hand it to the Cub... Haha! We got everything, including all the implements for $2,000. You can get a riding lawnmower, but definitely not a new "garden tractor" for that! I agree with you though, the clearance, visibility, and gear driven PTO put the Cub a cut above in my book! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and thanks for watching!
Hmmm... let's compare for a second with a John Deere "24hp" S160 lawnmower (heh... "garden tractor"...) that goes for $2400 at Home Depot. I paid $1400 for my field-ready, hydraulic equipped, front blade 1948 Cub.
Wow, 24hp is impressive, except that's crank horsepower. An early Cub generates 10 DRAWBAR horsepower - that's actual pulling power (that's how it's measured, actually pulling something with the drawbar). Later Cubs can get to the mid/high teens.
As pointed out in the video, the Cub has a 60 cubic inch engine. The John Deere? 44. Displacement = torque, so to make the claimed power the John Deere has to spin to ~3600rpm for horsepower. Meanwhile, the Cub peaks at 40 ft. lbs. of torque at 1600 rpm and max horsepower at 1800 (the early ones are governed to 1800 rpm).
After all the losses in the lawnmower through the transmission and drivetrain, and finally the wheels at the ground, don't be surprised if the lawnmower is making less at the drawbar than the Cub is.
So, you want to push snow or pull a plow... welp... you better be able to get traction so let's talk tires... You're claiming you can put an Ag tire on something like that, but you most assuredly can't put the 8.3x24 a standard Cub wears. Oh, and it's not just tread... it's the diameter of the tire also. Larger diameter = larger effective torque multiplication.
Then there's the other important factor in pulling/pushing things - weight. Weight = the normal force required to generate traction and pull that plow. The lawnmower weighs 481 lbs. A stripped early Cub weighs 1500 lbs. If the Cub is like mine, it's wearing front wheel weights (60 lbs.) and rear wheel weights (300 lbs.) has a front blade and tips the scales at a hair over 2000 lbs. A fully ballasted Cub set up for plowing can come in at just under 2900 lbs.
A Cub was built to plow 4 acres a day, every day, day in and day out. No lawnmower on earth can do that. They simply aren't robust enough.
Lastly, my little Cub is 72 years old. 72 years from now, I'll be long dead and it'll still be running - and the lawnmower will have been recycled into soup cans a few dozen times.
@@vnthomas16 For a hoot we could hook his lawnmower up to a Cub sometime and drag it backwards all over Christendom.
Opinions, books, and websites all give different horsepower numbers for a cub tractor, the exact numbers run from 10 to 15 in most cases. Tractor Data dot com list them as 10-11 hp up to 1964. After that (1964-1979) they started painting them yellow & white and also added a couple of horsepower to the engine (13 hp). I bought a 1958 low-boy with the 1 point hitch. The Low-boy is lowered about 8 inches, and shorter by about 9 inches. I later bought a 1975 Low-boy swapped the 1pt hitch to the 1975 and sold the 1958, had to have the 2 extra hp (haha). I also own a 1975 (yellow & white) Farmall Cub with a 3 point hitch. I just wish we had one of these when I was growing up as a kid.
The Cub really is a great all around tractor. We are so happy to have it as part of our farm. Thanks!
Thank you. Have always loved the old Farmall cubs. What was that mower you were using towards the end of the video?
Cubs are cool and all and I agree with your reasons you give. But realistically your MUCH better off getting something with a standard 3pt hitch, 540 pto, and hydraulics. You can easily find something with those features in the same price range. Power assist steering is also great and you'll be happy to have it if you ever get a loader.
The Farmall Cub is 10 HP rated at the drawbar, Lawnmowers are rated at the crankshaft.
HP varied throughout the Cubs production life. I believe they started at 8HP at the drawbar and eventually worked up to about 15 by end of production. Of course, it really doesn't matter on a tractor, it's all about torque! And that little Cub is sure a workhorse! We love it! Thanks for watching.
Man looking for one now. Thanks
You’re welcome! They really are great tractors!
Good video, thank you for putting it up.
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
That 8 hp is not engine hp it's draw bar hp, far different, that engine makes about 20 hp
Great deal!
We both were happy. Thanks for watching!
still bummed. a while back i almost bought a Cub for $500!!! it ran and came with a few implements to, but someone picked it up before me
Toys, Tractors, Trucks, and Some Dogs they’re great tractors. I hope you’re still looking and I hope you find the right one! Thanks for watching!
@@vnthomas16 thanks for replying. I actually almost got another one the other day for $500 also, but the ad was deleted this morning. I found another one that's $2500, with blade disc and I believe a rototiller, but it is on the other side of Washington, I live in the Northwest part of Puget sound
Toys, Tractors, Trucks, and Some Dogs funny thing is, I’m in the NE corner of WA, but had to go to the SW corner to get my tractor!
@@vnthomas16 yeah, the first one was down in Yackimia, and the other one I'm looking at is in the middle of the state, in Leavenworth area I think (at least according to the Craigslist ad). The hardest part for me is the price though, I know there cheap but in only and in buying one with my chore money I've saved up and for me the $500 rage is what I can afford, but still not quite there. Can't wait to see another video of the cub. For now I will continue watching videos of Cubs and dream of chores I can do with it.🙁
McCormick Farmall Cub was to give horse and mule farmers a new mechanical option.What are the 2 holes in the floor for?
This is anecdotal, but I’ve heard the holes are to give the operator a line of sight to the business end of a planter, so they could keep an eye on the operation.
Excellent
The C60 engine is rated for much more than 9 hp at the crankshaft. And even the net 9hp at the drawbar is only at around 1500 rpm. Obviously the 4 cylinder C60 engine is rated at much higher hp and torque than riding mower engines.
The fast hitch is quicker than the 3 point
Indeed! I like it even if I only have a few implements that use it. Unfortunately standard Cub implements can be tedious to install. Thanks for watching!
I got my cub for $1200 but it only had a belly bush hog , and I had to rebuild the motor .
Good video
Thanks!
I'm looking at a farmall A and all the cubs implement will fit ..
In general, when IH designed the Cub, they also designed implements simultaneously to go with it. The Cub is about a 75% version of the A. The PTO on an A is the standard rotation and 540 RPM. The Cubs PTO is reversed and runs faster. I’ve heard some Cub implements can be made to fit an A, but requires modifications. Obviously any PTO driven implements are not interchangeable. If an A has a fasthitch, it could be coupled to Cub implements with a fasthitch as both tractors used smaller single points. Some Cub implements wouldn’t function properly on a A, but stuff like disc harrows would probably work ok. A Cub probably couldn’t handle the bigger A single point implements though due to weight or draft. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
@@vnthomas16 yes it helps big time I had no idea. I figured both are same body style so the implements would fit but now that you told me that I have to go back and think what to do and look into it.. Thank you
The Cub, and it’s most used implements are fairly common, easier to find, and easier to find parts for, but the A will definitely give you more power.
I have one that may be for sell soon. In good shape 1947 year model. Runs perfect. It has been sitting in a shop not used for 3 years.
It has the 193 plow, belly mower, and a few other attachments I got to dig out of back of shop. Let me know. I am in Ala
I learned to drive a tractor on a cub and a older Ferguson
I learned on an old tricycle Farmall C. I guess that’s when I got the Farmall bug! Thanks for watching!
i bought my farmall m for 1300 with loader, and my 8n for 2400 with shredder
Correction: the Farmall Cub has 12 horsepower
It depends on year of production. I believe when they started production, it was 8HP at the drawbar, and by the time they ended, it was up around 15. For a tractor though, the torque is whats most important. That Cub is a workhorse no doubt! Thanks for watching!
9 hp
I have a ‘48 that me and my dad are restoring
Awesome! If you need some extra resources, farmallcub.com has a great forum with lots of knowledgeable folks!
I looked up walmart and they sell parts for it on line
If you go to farmallcub.com, the site sponsors are mostly tractor part dealers and support the Cub with quality parts.
Mon dieu que de souvenirs c est avec mon père a la ferme de ma grand mère qu a 3 ou 4 ans je commençais à conduire sur les genoux de mon père sur un farmall cub essence que de souvenirs ont chariait du bois des pommes on coupé les chardons a ec la faucheuse a sections au milieu ont chariait le fumiers je regrette que mon père l ai vendu j'aurais tellement voulu le conserver
1300$ i got a farmall m with a fel loader
There are companies making quick 3 point hitch conversations for these.
Scott Bittner yes indeed, there are a few companies offering these kits.
Ih made a cub loboy which is a fat all cub that sits lower
Yes. I think they were the same except with shorter spindles on the front axle and the final drives were rotated 90°. Thanks for watching!
Id just like to correct the fact that a farmal cub 4cly gasoline, has 15 hp
Yes, at the very end of production, IH did get the HP up to 15 through such things as increased RPM and domed pistons. At the beginning of production, the Cub was 8HP. Thanks for watching!
Doesn't the Cub have 18 HP ?
Rated at 10hp actually.
9 hp
Little light for me. I went to a super A.
They certainly have their roles. We have a bigger tractor too, with a FEL. We have a recent video showing both our tractors here: ua-cam.com/video/hCTTn7NpbkU/v-deo.html
Ford first developed the 3 point not Ferguson
Hello! The history of the three point hitch is quite fascinating! Harry Ferguson first patented it in the mid-1920’s. Ferguson entered into a partnership with Ford convincing him to adopt the technology, and the three point hitch is introduced to America in 1939 on the 9N. Ford then basically stole the technology, resulting in a big lawsuit. By the 1960’s the patents had all expired, and we see the three point hitch become the “standard” across all tractors. For more of this history, check out: www.tractordata.com/articles/technical/threepoint.html and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_hitch . Thanks for watching!
Sorry i thought you meant Ferguson tractor
Power Stroke73 No problem! It’s just amazing that with all the proprietary hookups that came on the market, the three point reigned supreme. Granted, it is a good system, but I really like the ease of IH’s Fast-Hitch. Thanks for watching!
I got a 1950 cub (american)
We love our Cub! They are a great tractor! Thanks for watching!
Visions of impending doom!! Lol!
