Most PTO driven implements took more power than the Cub has. When the Cub came out, the only implement for it that used the PTO was the mower. The mower didn't care which way the PTO turned and the pulley could be sized accordingly. The PTO attachment only added $10 to the sales price. The extra cost of adding a gear reduction to standardize the PTO would have been a waste of money.
What is lame is subject to opinion. I'd probably point out somebody else's actions.
Wouldn't the blades sping backwards if you put it on a different mower? So the theory was in making it turn backwards so you couldn't overload the tractor with bigger implements?
I was just messing with the lame thing. To me it wouldn't have a lot of value, to other guys they are pretty handy. In my yard it would just be too awkward to get anything done. For mowing I would be quicker with my 318 than a Cub. As for blade work I might as well own something that can hold a bigger blade and pull a bigger cultivator.
