OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES

When you purchased your tractor, you probably had it
completely equipped for your particular needs at the
time. However, later you may wish to obtain optional
equipment or accessories. These items and other
allied equipment can be purchased from, and installed
by, your authorized Cub Cadet dealer.

The tractor is used for so many different types of work,
and because it is called on to operate under so many
different conditions, a variety or equipment is available
to adapt it to the requirements of the user. Refer to the
attachment guide for a complete description of
equipment and required components that can be
utilized with your tractor.
