HistoryEdit

During the 1960s IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners of increasingly popular rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, ploughs, trailers, etc.

Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

EdrobAdded by Edrob

MTD Products, Inc., of Cleveland, Ohio, purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981 following the break up of IH after they became bankrupt and were restructured. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary of MTD for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment (MTD, YardMachines, YardMan, White Outdoor, Bolens, and Troy-Bilt).

Cub Cadet YanmarEdit

Main article: Cub Cadet Yanmar

In 2007, Cub Cadet (MTD Products) and Yanmar of Japan entered into a partnership to manufacture and market compact and utility tractors in the USA. They would be sold under the Cub Cadet Yanmar brand name through existing Cub Cadet dealers. The partnership was revised in 2011 with Yanmar taking full control, and the Cub Cadet name being dropped.[1][2]

Cub Cadet Trick Shot ChallengeEdit

David Kalb, a warehouse worker from La Habra, California, was the winner of the 2008 Cub Cadet trick shot challenge. Kalb won the chance to play Lebron James, a four-time NBA All-Star and Olympic gold medalist, at a game of H-O-R-S-E in Venice Beach, California in an online contest. Kalb won the first game but the two decided to go best 2 out of 3 whereupon Kalb won also.[3]

A few of these can be seen in the Garden machinery classes at tractor and vintage shows.
