I am like you and think these 2 acre suburban farmers are completely nuts for paying big bucks for a Cub or anything small for that matter to mow there yard with. I guess these people don't realize that they can get into something 2 or 3 times bigger for half or less money. Then they could do a little custom work for the neighbors such as plowing gardens and clearing snow out of driveways. I would alot rather be running an M than a Cub and would spend less money getting it and have way more power. Better to have more power than needed then to just have enough. I guess they just want something they can put in the 2 car garage in front of there SUV. No need to go on and on, on that. I am in Kansas (maybe a little far for you) but you might consider looking in the mid-west. Lot of 2 and 3 plow tractors from 40's and 50's that are basically obsolete to farmers. Most farmers are into way bigger and newer tractors at this day in age. Most of those old ones just sit in the shed or float around selling worth the money. Don't get me wrong, you probably aren't going to get them for half price but you can buy an H or an M farmall good enough to take to the field for under $1000. A good fixer upper for around $500. And one for parts for $200. I don't see that the price would vary much throughout the midwest.
