Cub Cadet Two Thumbs Up
By Joey S

Review Posted 05/17/2017
Product was amazing and cut easy! To set height for grass on all wheels at once, the movement up or down is easy

I suffer from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, which is chronic exhaustion with shortness of breath and weakness. I must use a self-propelled mower as long as I intend to care for my lawn all by myself. This Cub Cadet self-propelled is lighter weight than the last one I wore out. So it is easier to turn. Cub Cadet is self-paced at a perfect rate of speed to pull me along behind. When I adjusted my old self-propelled mower depending on how sick I felt, I set too fast and ran myself into the ground in 10 minutes, time it takes to mow my front lawn. Cub Cadet has a narrower cutting path of 19 inches. But it doesn't require more overlap than width of the tires. Cub Cadet cuts all heights of grass and weeds the first time through. My old self-propelled mower offered a generous 22-inch cutting path. But old mower required 4-inch overlap for damp grass, tall weeds and thick patches of short-crop Bermuda. All would lay down as the old mower passed, then pop back up right after. Frequently required 2 sweeps to cut hardiest of weeds and tall grasses. With Cub Cadet, I can mow for about 20 minutes before needing rest. With my old self-propelled, I was finished for the day after 15 minutes at most.

Review Posted 06/18/2014
I've got 3 acres to maintain but have an acre pond and wooded area, so roughly 1.5 acres of surface area to mow and it is all on a hill. The yard jets downward from all directions of the house making a riding lawn mower basically useless for all of about .25 acres.
The power of the mower is magnificent and the easy start is great until you cut mower off and have to restart. Upon restarting it seems to fight flooding initially but all except for once it comes roaring to life. The rear wheel self propelled feature works wonders and climbs 45 degree inclines with extreme ease. However, the rear wheels seem to lock on many occasions when pulling back in reverse. The cut is great, however, the speed of the propelled gears is sometimes so fast you'll miss trimming any weeds that may have grown if your yard gets a little high. The side mount for discharge seem to separate from the mower a bit too easily and sometimes comes off during mowing or the easiest brush will knock it off. The handle is so long and the mower is so heavy, it's impossible to control when going across a hill. The long reach does make cutting ditches and the drop off near my pond extremely easy. The blades are extremely sharp and mower is powerful enough to never even hint of dying through the thickest of grass I've put it through.
I feel as if I'll have this mower for years to come, but when my old lighter push mower dies, I will look to purchase another, lighter push mower for my steep, impossible to walk up inclines. Would highly recommend to all, regardless of size of the yard.

Starts easy. Self propels at a very good pace. Bag holds enough for no need to empty until lawn is done.
