Awesome ride and great features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have have had my XT1 L42 for a month and it was the best choice I could have made! The ride is awesome, very comfortable. Love the cruise, safety features for reverse, features for cleaning under deck but most of all my lawn looks great! It does a beautiful quality cut. I am very pleased!!

Runs Smooth, very dependable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my Cub Cadet XT1 42" four summers ago and it still seems new to me. I have nearly 7 acres of hilly, bumpy grass and weeds that I mow every few weeks during the
Summer. I use her with a small garden trailer to haul the trash and recycling up my 500' driveway to the street, sometimes pick up leaves in the Fall with the bagger attachment. Generally I crank her up at least once a week for one reason or another.
She runs smooth and strong, never complains about pulling a reasonable load. My only complaint is that the battery (still the original) doesn't have much reserve in the cool weather, so I keep a Battery minder hooked up to keep her topped off.
My wish list would include a bigger battery and a little suspension to tame the bumpy terrain of my terraced landscape.
Overall I'm glad I finally got rid of Dad's 40 year old "turtle" brand and purchased this sweet yellow ride!

Very reliable mower.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had the mower for 4 years and am very pleased. I also bought the grass catcher and mulching attachments. The only negative is that with the mulching attachment, the cover for the deck outlet does not seal well and grass collects in back of it. Otherwise, everything has been fine.

Very happy overall
I love the price and all you get. The seat is way more comfortable than my John Deere. I love the hydro static transmission, very nice for a tractor in this price range. I looked over several other brands before deciding to go with the Cub Cadet. So far I am pleased. I also love that I can buy it local too, not just in the chain stores.

Like it. Works well
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The problem I have is the transmission bypass Rod, it seems whether it's pushed in or out the mower Still seems to move, when I first bought the mower when it was pushed in the tractor would not move now it does so I might have to have that looked in on. That's why the 4 star rating.

Awesome Rider for This Newbie
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased this mower to replace a self-propelled by dad had been using...haven't used a rider in a LONG time. Great features--let's me know when it's time to change the oil, etc., easy to operate, and pretty darned comfortable ride on a bumpy 1 1/2 lot. Super pleased with this mower.

Nice tractor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ive had this one for about 1.5 yrs. No issues. Starts easily and runs well. Seems to have plenty of power, but i have a cart for it and tried hauling landscape bricks and it wouldn’t make it up a hill i have. Maybe i had too many in there. No complaints, though. It’s a nice tractor

Love my new lawnmower
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my new riding lawnmower. Does a very good job of mowing the grass and does not lose power one going up and down hills while mowing. The only minor complaint I have is the fact that their app hasn’t been updated in years and is very buggy for the Bluetooth connection feature

First Time Cub Cadet owner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this mower in Feb. 2020 and got a great deal. This mower is different than any I had in the past and I find it easier to operate.
No shifting!
All the controls are easy to operate.
I dont detect any vibrations with the blade engaged.
I am pleased with the mower.

Reliability
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first lawn tractor and it has been very reliable. This is the 3rd year and absolutely no problems and I am one that is sort of rough on things. Change the air and oil filters and get the blades sharpened before every season and you'll have a tractor that lasts for many years.

Hard to get to start but mows great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's hard to get to start always acts like the battery is dead or about to die when it goes to turn over to start. I often have to jump it off even with the new battery...only a few weeks old. But when it's running it mows like a dream... Could not ask for a better mowing cut...

Runs smooth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had it for about two months so far. No problems and it’s very quiet when you turn the throttle down when the blades are off. Seat pressure sensor barely recognizes my 80 lb daughter so that’s the only issue I’ve had. It has plenty of power for tall grass. My yard is mostly flat.

excellent product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] EXTREMELY HAPPY OVERALL WITH MOWER HOWEVER WHEN MOWER ABRUPTLY DIED THE SOLENOID THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED WAS HARD TO DIAGNOIS AND IT WAS HARD TO FIND A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP LEADING TO LOSE OF MOWER USE FOR A FEW WEEKS. OTHERWISE SUPERB PRODUCT. SOLENOID DIED AFTER ONLY TWO SEASONS.

Excellent Mower
This is my first riding mower and I love the solid construction and turning radius. I have a 3/4 acre corner lot and this is my only mower. I can get around trees and flower beds easily with the quick turning radius and only have to use my string trimmer minimally. I would recommend this mower to anyone in need of a lawn tractor.

It does what you expect from a mower
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this for a year and a half now and it runs and cuts great. The only thing that could be better is if the mulcher spread the clippings out more even instead of along the right side of the mower deck. Which then builds up on the right rear tire and falls off in clumps.

Better Design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had a 2007 42" Cub Cadet and when I couldn't fix it anymore, I did some research on the XT1 and I like that the blade control is not electronic anymore, the engine is re-designed and the way it handles is excellent. I've had this one for 2 years now and no major repairs!

Great mower but
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had my Cub Cadet for almost 3 years. It’s been a great mower but the belt starting popping off. Replaced the belt, made sure all the pulleys were tight and in the right way lace but it still keeps popping off. Seems to be a reoccurring problem with the new deck design.

excellent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replaces a sears craftsman and does an excellent job. Went from a 54” to 42” deck but hardly noticed. Runs great. Cuts grass better. Bagger attachment is a little cheap made but works better than the craftsman bagger. Smooth operation. Love the EFI with no carburetor.

Mower starts easy with EFI system
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product has had two flat tires in the front. Diffcult to fix had to install tubes.
otherwise the unit works great, truns tied, and use less fuel. I mowing between 2 & 10 acres. With the motor operating it is not smooth operation, but does not shut off during operation.

Fantastic buy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This riding mower should have signature cut on it also, not just the walk behind mowers. I was so impressed buy it, I went out and bought the walk behind signature cut mower ,and once again was amazed by it also. Can't loose if you care about your lawn as much I do !!!

Built Like A Tank
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my Cub Cadet LT Series back in 2006. I make sure to keep the oil changed and I replaced a few small parts over the years. Over all, this mower has stood the test of time and if or when I need another mower, I am definitely getting another Cub Cadet. Thank You!!

Good value, Powerful Engine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was leary about the 547cc engine not pulling my hill since my old cub was a 19 HP and this equals a 17 HP. The power cut mode pulls the mower with out bogging down. Starts on first turn of the starter. I've had mine about s week but have cut twice. Love this mower.

Really nice mower!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just bought the XT1 LT42 and I love it. I'm a big guy. I'm 6'2 and weigh around 350. After I ajusted the seat to my comfort zone it was like mowing on air. My mowing job ended so fast I sat on my mower wanting more grass to mow. I'm a Cub Cadet man now for life.

Reliable and efficient tractor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had this for a year and it has been the best tractor I have ever owned. The convenient location of the gas cap (not under the hood) makes refuelling easier. The responsiveness of the hydrostatic drive is ideal. The safety features are everything you could want.

Great rider
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my rider and using for 3 months. It handles great and mows and bags without issue. I like the feature that you can mow in reverse and the cup holder. My only issue is if you park the mower on the grass the exhaust will burn the grass if left too long.
