In Reply to: CUB vs BN posted by ftmfrank on November 14, 2008 at 06:53:53:
I am going to whip this horse a little more... The BN is a better tractor than the CUB hands down. More power, wider, more stable (who cares for mowing the yard), standard PTO, and not an offset. There would be no question which I would take.
The only way I would get a CUB is if it was a GOOD deal, new tires, good Woods mower and I only needed it for mowing. But even then I would look at other tractors before purchasing. I know several people whom have bought CUBs to mow with and later got rid of them. They are really under-powered. I JD 318 will run circles around a CUB in the yard.
As for stability, the BN wins hands down. I mean come on 60" vs 80", the BN trike would be tough to flip. I have a 1962 Farmall 504 Diesel with a loader on it and the tires are set at about 80", which is pretty narrow for a row crop tractor. It has never been "rubber side up".
If you want the CUB for this reason get it, if you want the BN for that reason, get it... Get the one you feel most comfortable with... You will be happier buying the one that you feel good on.
