Scott: The Cub will surprise you. Lot of people think they are a joke, but joke is on them. Super A, 100, 130 and 140 are monsters when it comes to snow. They actually make big tractors look bad. Believe me I have plowed snow with Super A, 130, 300, 560, skid steer loaders, Champion road graders and an articulated Deere. For the size and weight I would have to rank the little offset Farmalls number 1.

The guy Dean, said ag tires not much in snow. Well here is my biggest problem with my Farmall 130, 6'angle blade, 12.4x24 tires and wheel weights. The blade is 18" high, and I can push enough snow so it is falling behind blade, then I need chains so I can back away.

When I moved to where I am, I have never seen this place in winter. Neighbors all laughed when 130 appeared on scene, and I anounced I would keep drivway clear. Turns out this driveway has reputation for stumping many a plowing machine. It is about 300', with flat open fields both sides. Well I have called on guy across road with snow blower a couple of times, but not until snow was piled 5' on both sides. I might add 130 was still willing, problem was my 62 year old carcass.
