Good Solid Snow Blower
By Robert M.
Fort Washington, Pennsylvania
Purchased 10/11/2021 |
Review Posted 03/11/2022
First time I used it to clear my driveway and sidewalks after 8" snowstorm in February. It performed like a champ. Also, it was easier to assemble than I had expected it to be.

Well we finally did get some snow. (8" to 10") and the Cub Cadet did not disappoint. I ended up blowing about 1200 sq/ft of sidewalk and about 8400 sq/ft of driveway. (6 of my neighbors received so free snow removable)
I still have to readjust the two foot guides to get the snow removable closer to the ground. I am very pleased with the 2 stage Cub Cadet.

Works best with dryer snow, slushy matter will get clogged in the chute.

I AM SO GLAD...

Review Posted 01/20/2022
I am so glad that I purchased this Cub Cadet Snowblower! I ordered this machine in early December before the heavy snows in January. When the first snow arrived with 10+ inches of powder snow that drifted 3+ feet, I was ready! After ordering online from this amazing company, shipping only took 3 days! Simple assembly required with good instructions included and roll the snowblower off of the shipping pallet. The oil was pre-installed at the factory so all that was needed was alcohol free regular gasoline and a extension cord to run the starter! I was cutting through heavy snow drifts with ease and throwing the snow 30 to 40 foot away! My only regret was that I didn't get the heated hand grips!

My Complaints With Cub Cadet Machine & SBD
By Jim W.
Loveland, Ohio

Review Posted 01/08/2022
Arrived late November from Illinois. Had to pay above list price and $150 delivery as needed a tailgate unloader truck.
I had a very difficult time unloading 250 lb. machine off massive crate and vreaking down cardboard and wood frame and skid.
When unfolding and straightening handlebar assembly to upright position, the Speed Selector Cable, Part No. 746-04396A snapped at the inferior potted end. Both a defective design and assembly issue. I contacted and got part from KLEI MOWERS here in Cincinnati for $23.59 (Invoice #307224). I had mechanic friend come twice and paid him $60 to install cable, gas up and test machine. Just got finished today (Jan. 8) so had this issue for 6 weeks since delivery and still not used .
I would like a check from SNOW BLOWERS DIRECT for $83.39. I paid $1,454.22 for this machine to you.

No Snow Yet To Provide Use Feedback
By David M.

Review Posted 01/20/2021
No snow yet to be able to give a fair review. However, putting the machine together was a little tricky. The chute and cable directions weren't the easiest to follow. But once I figured that out the rest was simple. I filled it with gas and it pretty much fired up. I let it run for maybe 15-20 minutes. No issues noted. I also took it for a drive up and down the driveway. I really like the turn radius of this machine. Much tighter AND EASIER than my old 2004 Troy Built. If I get some snow, I will update this.
