I've been mowing for 57 years with Cub Cadets, from an Original, to a 70 that's restored out in the shop, my 72 I bought well used in 1980, and the 982 I bought in 2000, the 129 and 44A deck was a great mowing combination, it had been rode hard and put away wet daily for years before I got it. And the Cub Cadet TANK I bought 4 yrs ago is without a doubt the BEST mowing machine I've ever been on. You can make it bunch up clippings, simply mow during a downpour of rain, but if the grass is dry, walk across the yard, toes of your work boots stay dry, it will not bunch up clippings. The blades must run twice as fast as any other Cub Cadet deck, a 850 cc Kawasaki 27 hp engine refuses to slow down in a hard pull from the 54 inch deck, can mow up to 12 mph if your yard is smooth enough. I don't see a front mounted rear discharge mower deck working well. I'm not a huge fan of the foot long discharge chute guard on my CC zero-turn, but it needs something to keep the clippings down close to the ground. I blow clippings on my driveway all the time, I can blow clippings clear off the driveway in 10-12 ft wide swaths in a single pass. The mower is designed to mow back and forth the yard, 54 inch swath, non-stop 180 degree turn, and back, you have a 100 to 108 inch wide clear swath in the yard, another 180 degree turn and your blowing clippings evenly over both of the prior passes. I don't always mow as often as I should, but every time I get done mowing the yard looks GREAT. I don't think anyone could interest me in a rear discharge deck. I built a yard vacuum 20 years ago to use with my Cub Cadet #72 with 38 inch deck specifically for mulching and disposing of leaves in fall. Lost a HUGE amount of fertilizer from the decaying leaves, I don't do that anymore.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
