I had to laugh today reading the posts that say you should just "enjoy your Cub". I agree, but yesterday I enjoyed mine right into a mud hole. A couple months ago, they replaced my sewer lateral from the house to the main, about 110' long and 12 deep. I had them pile the "extra" dirt over the trench rather than take it away. As I predicted, the dirt settled and made a long sinkhole in some area. I had the cub (1250) out with the blade and chains moving some firewood, and I decided to push some of that dirt around to fill in the holes. It was working impressively well for about 5 minutes, until I sunk the right side of the tractor in the muddy trench. Put the hydro on high and tried to push with no luck. Had the wife pull me out with the ATV style golf cart. Tried it a little more, but the tires had way to much mud build-up to really apply any pushing force. Took 30 minutes to hose off the mud on the tires. Still, it was a good day "enjoying my Cub".
