ericlb, not trying to talk you into getting a cub, but don"t worry to much about it technically having less hp than your riding mower. I have one and an eighteen hp "garden tractor" with mower deck. The cub has has an IH belly mower. The cub is as fast if not faster and eats up much thicker stuff without grumbling and much easier on the operator when you dealing with something rougher than the front lawn.
I think it has as much to do with the equipment"s ability to get that horsepower to the ground/grass as it does engine horsepower. On the cub, I don"t have to worry about belts slipping (although the belly mower is belt drive), deck getting clogged up, or getting stuck in the least litte hole. The cub is also designed to operate at near maximum hp all day long. Try that with most of these air cooled engines and it won"t be with you long.
But make no mistake about it, a cub is a small tractor with limits and an A, B, 100, 130, 140 is much more tractor.
I"ll give you one more option since you stayed with me this long. I have seen belly mowers for the little Fords like the NAA, I think made by Woods. I think that would be a great setup for medium sized jobs.
good luck
