The Cub Cadet 72 is a compact lawn and garden tractor built for small-scale yard work. Made by Cub Cadet from 1967 to 1969 in Louisville, Kentucky, this tractor is designed for easy use around the home.
The Cub Cadet 72 has a small Kohler K161 engine with just one cylinder. It runs on gasoline and is air-cooled to keep it from getting too hot. The engine is very small compared to other tractors, but it can still produce 7 horsepower. This tractor has a simple gear transmission with three forward speeds and one reverse. It has two-wheel drive and manual steering, making it easy to control in tight spaces. The tractor is light, weighing 553 pounds, which is about average for its size.
This tractor comes with some useful features for yard work. It has a three-point hitch on the back for attaching tools. The power take-off (PTO) can run at two different speeds to power various attachments. The Cub Cadet 72 has an open seat for the driver and runs on lawn tires, perfect for use on grass. It's small, measuring about 64 inches long, 33 inches wide, and 39 inches tall, making it easy to store in a garage or shed.
