Used and Damaged Mower
2 years ago
The store sold me a used mower that was damaged. When they went to load it on my trailer I noticed the dried clumps of grass stuck in the mower deck. They lied and said it came off the truck on Monday. I asked for my money back and went somewhere else to purchase a new one.

Used and missing parts.
26 days ago
The mower was used when I picked it up. There were grass clippings on the deck and inside the mower deck. There is a bolt missing from under the seat, that secures the seat. There is a bolt missing from the plate that holds a trailer ball. The does operate well though.

Worst mower
a month ago
This is the worst mower I've ever owned and it's also the most expensive one I've ever bought. I've had it just over a year and I'm having to work on something nearly every time I mow. I had to replace 2 relays within the first 6 months. Belts pop off and transmission gets stuck. I owned a craftsman riding mower for 15 years and didn't work on it as much in that time as I have this cub cadet.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Be careful when purchasing any lawn equpiment...
a month ago
This was supposed to be brand new when purchased. When it arrived it looked as if it had been used. Never did get a manual for it as it was lost before it came to me. I never was able to get it to run. Come to find out there was something wrong with it, after multiple call between tractor supply and myself i was able to finally get a new one delivered, only after having the original for over a week and not being able to use it at all. To get the new one delivered was a nightmare. I was told one thing and another was done. I will deff be looking elsewhere the next time i need to purchase a lawn mower.
