Can a Farmall Cub maintain a 10 MPH speed on pavement so as to run in a "tractor ride"?

Lew:

Wardner is correct. The max speed is approx 6 mph in 3rd gear. The Cub will not achieve anywhere near 10 mph.

If you want more information on Cubs, please click the link below. The main page has links to the ATIS FAQ's, Cub FAQ's, the Best of H.L. Chauvin, and of course manuals, brochures and all things CUB!

Have a read, and do enjoy your cub.

I believe IH advertising copy indicates 8 mph. Nebraska tests say 6.3mph in '47 and 7.3mph in '56

One would need a tach and do the math on the tire size (loaded radius), drop boxes, ring/pinion, and tranny to find out actual speed of your tractor. If you are mathematically challanged, it might be easier and more accurate to time yourself over the distance of one or two sections.

If you need more speed, you could always play with the governor or disconnect it. In the latter case you would want a foot throttle operated with your left foot. Don't get crazy with the rpms. You could break the fan mount (front engine plate) and send the fan into the radiator.
