All of the cubs I have owned have been hydrostats. Right now I have a pair of 1450s that mow our acreage around the house. 50 decks and can mow forward and reverse - they buzz across lawn type surfaces. Mowing weeds 5' tall are another issue - they knock them down more than they cut them off.
I have never owned a manual cub and I suspect I would be annoyed using one after years of variable speed in the hydrostats.

The grass is in bigger clumps because its taller and the slower blades don't seem to throw it near as far. You end up with windrows of hay instead of it being scattered across the the freshly mowed area.

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
