Ags1: Mowing and cultivating were the two main jobs the Cub was designed to do, and with over 100,000 of them sold, you're in very good company using a Cub to mow with. I mow about an acre and a half with mine, equipped with a 5-foot belly mower. Provided you don't let the grass grow into a hayfield, it will mow just fine in second gear. Bear in mind that the 10 hp rating on the Cub is DRAWBAR horsepower--what's actually availible to use pulling an implement. Most lawn and garden tractors today are rated (and often charitably rated at that...) using CRANKSHAFT horsepower, which doesn't take into account the power wasted in moving the tractor or driving any accessories. If by chance you run into a deal on a Farmall A, Super A, Allis B or C, or similar tractor these will also work well, but the Cub is an excellent mowing tractor in its own right.
