        EXCEPTIONAL BUY!!!

        2 years ago
        I shopped and took serious consideration with all the various brands available! I eventually found the “Cadet” to be the best all around “Price” vs “Performance “ choice! After getting it home, I hopped on and then looked at my yard! All of a sudden, I wasn’t really prepared for my uphill/downhill yard? I was honestly a bit nervous! I thought… this is going to be impossible…I can’t mow this steep/slanted uphill/downhill yard…It’s not going to handle it! My biggest concern was stability! I wasn’t sure if “I/It” was going to keep upright on the sloping off-cambers! However, it did it with flying colors…”I” and “It” took it all in stride. It performed exactly as I’d originally hoped! I am looking forward to using it for years to come. As an afterthought, I had considered a “Top Performer - All Wheel Drive” walk behind mower…I asked by my Son…”What do you think…Save money on the walk behind or go for the Riding Mower”? He replied, Dad your 65…do you want to invest in your future or walk behind it when you’re 75”? I am now the owner of a Cadet riding mower and it was the best decision I/we’ve made!

        Cub Cadet quality

        2 years ago
        I am a very upset Cub Cadet owner. I bought my XT-1 ith the Kohler SV540 engine in June 2019 expecting it to last. I'm 69 yrs old. The machine as it sits right now has 70 hrs on it. In the past twelve months I've had to replace the battery for the 3rd time since new. The carburetor was replaced in March 2024, because it was dumping raw gas into the combustion chamber effectively hydro locking the engine. After installing the new carb I also added a fuel shutoff and changed the fuel line. The starter died and was replaced only 2 weeks ago. After the starter died I did a complete tuneup, adjusted the valves, replaced the spark plug, changed oil, oil filter and gas filter. I was out mowing my small city lot last weekend and the transmission just stopped while mowing. Wouldn't move forward or reverse. I hauled the machine to my local Cub Cadet Service Center and they told me the transmission is trashed. $900 just for the part.

        Has a lot more power than I expected. I’m tall and it’s actually comfortable to ride a mower not all cramped up. So far the only problem I had was getting it delivered…..which never happened, I had to pick it up.
