Cub 154 Lowboy

peter in the north · Nov 6, 2008

I'm normally over at the 8N board but I have recently been offered a Cub 154 Lowboy with back blade, a self powered 48" tiller and a 59" Woods mower deck.
Can anyone tell me what the ground speed is in first gear?
Is $2,000 too much for this package? Haven't seen it up close yet but the photos look good and everything works. I could sure use this little tractor.
thanks in advance

2grand is a good price for that tractor with just the woods mower. with the extra implements, i think its an outstanding price.

Wow, quick reply!! Thanks a lot, glennster. I've never seen one up here before so I didn't have a clue what is fair.

As Glennster said, thats a really good price if its in decent running condition.

speed in 1st should be about 2 mph.

(quoted from post at 20:15:49 11/06/08) speed in 1st should be about 2 mph.

That sounds like about the right speed for tilling. thanks, billde

I have a 154 and it is a pretty good tractor for mowing. I have been told and I would tend to agree that you would need the optional creeper drive in order to properly use the tiller. Also many of these tractors had turf tires. I would think you would need ag tires again for the tiller. Sounds like a super price for the tractor and mower. Great price with other implements included. Be aware the tractor does not have a standard PTO and you will be limited to the non-standard implements you can use.

2MPH is way too fast for tilling.

Cub 154's normally have a creeper gear add-on for running a tiller or a snowblower. It's a gear reduction between the engine and transmission.

However, if the tiller is self-powered (as stated) you can throttle back to slow down. May still be too fast in some conditions, but much better than one powered by the tractor.

All good suggestions. The turf tires are a concern in soft soil, for sure.

What size is the PTO? Are adapters to standard available?
