I learned to drive tractors on a '66 cub cadet
with a 10 hp kohler with DOUBLE REAR TIRES (with real tread).
they had no air in them, there was so much surface area.
It was used only for towing on an a small island.
We would tow 20+ foot boats out of the water and onto the dry land,
also telephone-sized wooden poles off of the beach, and
we used a certain trailer towing everything from
10 100# propane tanks at a time, to complete loads of lumber,
and everything you can imagine. I have never seen it slip.
It was super-reliable and indistructable.
That was my first tractor experience, and I did it for 8 years.
I'll tell you, these modern tractors are such a let-down.
I now own a gravely tractor And an '67 cub cadet model 72.
I have searched very hard for another one (the one I had first
used was owned by somebody else), and was amazed when this guy
just up and gave it to me, along with a 38" mowing deck.
It's in excellent condition. AND I can still get all parts.
Old (pre-MTD/pre 70s) cub cadets are my idealized tractor.
At any rate, good luck.
