There are bunches of discussions in the archives and often about 3ph vs sub-frame hoes. Rather than repeat old discussions, I'll say that I'm in a small minority who has used a 3ph hoe that's fairly small for my tractor for occasional fairly light duty work for almost 5 years. It's worked out for me but 3ph hoes are more stressful on tractor frames and have been known to break a tractor. There are quite a few good after-market hoes to choose from. I don't know if sub-frame models for your Cub are readily available. ....

Thanks for your time TomG! Well I've waited a long time to get this tractor and could wait a lil longer for the hoe.I will do more research and read more forums to try and figure out the right way to go.Definitely don't need a broke tractor.I'll be patient and it will come together. Thanks once again........ ....
