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.

Easy to use - great performance - highly recommend
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my 2nd XT1 - I trade every couple years. I've owned other brands, ( Toro, Craftsman, etc.) The XT1 is very reliable, easy to use and does an excellent job on my with the addition of the rear bagger. Recommend it to neighbors who are as satisfied as I am.

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.

Been Happy with performance
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The model I chose looked the closest to my Cub Cadet - My husband purchased my tractor in 2006 after a tornado took our original one. it has a 42"mowing deck - I have 400 hours and it is still working great. I hit 70 yrs young so I appreciate a great product

Upgrades to new mower a step back
I bought new after having my last for 14 years. Deck on new one not as easy to remove. Cleaning in mower deck of new one harder and clogs more.
Now won’t run because it wants new air filter that isn’t available at my cub cadet dealer
. Reverse keeps getting difficult because of build up of grass in linkage.

Not impressed
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really thought Cab Cadet was the leader in quality mowers. I am not impressed. After owning only a bit over a year, this thing leaks oil and the transmission seals broke (luckily the seals were a warranty repair). Still leaks oil; just not impressed at all.

Great value
I compared many brands before purchasing the cub cadet. The Kohler engine, features, warranty beat out the others hands down. After the first use I was impressed, 25 hours later I am still very impressed. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a great value in a reliable riding lawn mower.

big improvement
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wore out my eight year old cadet mower and replaced it with an LT 42. It cuts much better and has more power. Bagging system is easier to install and remove. Starts much easier with automatic choke. Lever to engage cutting system is better, too.

Best I have owned and I am 76 years young.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although It is not perfect, it is close. I have found that some nuts and bolts were not tight and if I leave the key in the ignition, even though it is turned off, the battery will be dead in 24 hours. Not a big deal. I just take the key out.

Mr.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] i bought this model many months ago, and have never had a problem, except when I mow over a piece of stump, which breaks things. Easy enough to repair, though!
Now if I could keep the dang wasps from building nests in it, it would be nice!

Runs great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been using the XT1 for a couple of years. Does the job but need to keep up with routine maintenance. Replaced battery, tires, and blades - Didn't expect the tires and battery to go so soon, however, the unit runs well and gets the job done.

So far-so good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my third year of owning this mower and it has performed well. I have done the routine maintenance and have had no problems. The only reason I did not give five stars is that it should have a better muffler. Louder than it should be.

Great Tractor!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about 6 weeks ago, and this has been a good purchase. The tractor cuts nice and evenly, the motor runs smooth and powerful, and the turning radius is great for a lawn tractor! I couldn't be more happy with this Cub Cadet!

Bad Belt Guard Design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this product 4 months ago and have to repair it twice (the belt smoke and break when you engage the blades). Maybe the repair shop did not do a good job so they have to redo. I hope it was nothing major but it took 6 weeks to fix.

Nice mower
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this mower with a bagger to clean up the leaves and grass in the spring. It works great. My only problem so far is the hose from the mower deck to the bagger slipped out of the bagger a few times. Other than that it’s been good.

It's dangerous
Tractor roles period. Both my father and husband have had bad experiences on this thing. After my dad I went and bought chains and weights and it still spins out can't cut slops that are almost flat and now it's been rolled and I need to buy parts to fix it and it's only 12 months old.

XT1 LT42
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the tractor last year, 2018. The tractor runs well but the plastic bagging attachment is a not a good product. Everything else is excellent. Runs very well. Mows grass to whichever height I choose. The price was good.

Powerful engine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am into my second summer with this tractor and love it. I used it a lot with the bagger in the fall along with the mulching blades and was able to cut my grass and pick up the leaves with ease. It cut my fall clean up time in half.

Well built
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the first hyrodrive tractor I have driven. It is so convenient to be able to go in reverse without disengaging the the mower blades. I am amazed at the tight turning radius. This mower has plenty of power for what I need.
