The answer to that is "it depends, and, it depends".
But regardless of what you're doing with it, I would have to recommend going up to the A/super A.
A cub COULD pull a small single plow for a small garden, assuming the soil is average quality and well drained. Wheel weights would help.
But, depending one where you live, cubs tend to go for a premium over other tractors - pound for pound.
The reason being (in my mind anyways) is that farmland is disappearing a lightning speed.
There are a lot of guys who grew up on small farms that now live on 1/4 acre lots where there's no use for a tractor, but they miss having one.
They can buy a cub and justify it to the wife as a "lawn mower", or for plowing snow.
That makes them more popular than anything else - and that means they cost more money. (and of course, will be worth more if you should decide to sell it later)
At least in the northeast, you're typically seeing them in the 2500+ range with a mower or other implements, and not in great shape.
With an A/super a you could get a better tractor for the same money, or the same condition for less money. Typically in the 1800 range. And you'd have the added bonus of a little more power.
Generalizing obviously - there are always good deals that pop up from time to time on anything.

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
