I've got some of the older CC 123, 122, 125 - good heavy duty garden tractors for their time. A little low on the HP side but great for pulling. plowing, cultivator, snow plow, etc. had cast iron transmissions simular to a farmall cub - basically a little tractor. I also have a Kubota BX2200 again a little tractor -- it's hard to beat and never had a problem. Turn the key and it starts up - hold the glow plug for a little while on those zero degree days - never a problem starting. Loader, mower, tiller, etc plenty of power and tough as nails. Now for the new stuff. I don't think your not matching apples to apples. The kubota is a heaver duty maching and matches up to the 3000 series. AWD is a nice feature if your going to use a front blade. I'm Not too sure I like the Alumin front axle at least that's what the picture looks like. I also wonder about the new steering - all sounds really good but we'll know in a few years how this GT holds up. The CC is proven and a good tractor - not as tough as the old ones I have but will mow a lot better. You need to look at the 3000 series to match up against the Kubota. AWD on the kubota is tough to beat i just questiont the front axle - cast iron would be better. Shaft drive is the way to go - The CC or Kubota will work fine. Shaft drive to the mower deck is also a good feature. Shaft drive is usally found on Higher end or heaver duty machines. That hollow tube on the cc is really tough and the rubber mounts tough. it's also been around for a long time so all the kinks have been worked out long ago. Ask questions on the different forums about the CC's drive system. If the price is the same Kubota over CC as the kubota is more. If the Kubota price is the same as the 3000 series CC it's a tough call - both great brands. If you'r just mowing I'd look at one of the zero turn's as they will be a lot faster at cutting grass.

Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
