Works great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just used it to remove snow today with my cub cadet xt1 gt50 with tire chains and rear weights, it worked great. It was easy to assemble although the instructions weren't that great.

Cub Cadet Snow Plow
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Looks like a good setup, easy to install. I have not got to use it yet but I am sure the plow will work just fine.

Works great as snow plow on XT1-LT42
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a quarter mile long driveway with 12% declivity in parts of it so, plowing by hand is absolutely not an option.
I bought this with chains and one weight kit and so far, I am satisfied by how good it performs even though there are some things I wish this product had.
Assembling was not an easy task at all, I am a healthy guy in his early 50's very capable with my hands and I struggled to assemble it.
First, the manual is not very clear, some instructions are confusing, Cub Cadet should hire random people to try and use their assembling manuals before definitive printing (in IT, this is called the monkey test).
Second, after assembling almost everything came the time to link the blade with the main mechanism but the main pin was missing, I had to order it by phone, no big deal but... that should never happen, missing one random screw is acceptable, missing the main assembling pin is not.
2 days later, I could complete the assembling and I wish there was a mean to connect the blade without lifting this beast, it is heavy, really!!
The assembling was completed during summer time way ahead of winter and after some trials, I was satisfied with how it worked so I dismounted the blade waiting for the season to kick in. Fast forward to end of fall when I decided to be ready for the snow, I removed to deck (very important for the snow season, believe me), then, again, the instruction did not match entirely the XT1-LT42 but I got it, I mounted the blade and then... I could not move anything, the blade was stuck to center position. Back to square one.
I troubleshooted the issue to be a reading error in the assembling manual where the plates attaching to the tractor had to be carefully installed as to permit proper engagement of the lateral pins, the ones that move the blade up and down, that should be better noted because after being used a bit, being removed then re-mounted, the pins did not aligned anymore.
Now everything is aligned, lubricated and working properly.
Operating the thing is pretty easy but I wish the arm had more curvature to reach more easily, I am 6'1 and I have to extend my arm quite a bit to reach the cable levers, so please, for a next iteration, give the arm a slight turn towards the seat.
I already used it twice this year, once with 2 inches of "dry" snow, I could plow very easily up and down hill without chains but I had troubles the second time with 4 inches of "semi wet" snow.
This is where I wish the length of the blade would be higher in diagonal than the total width of the tractor's wheels as on the first pushes with a lot of snow, the wheels get stuck in the mounts of snow when backing up and whether with chains or not, you do not move anymore.
I had to shovel around the wheels several times to get started.
Now with "wet" snow around 4 inches, you will no be able to push too much at a time until the blade or the wheels give up and forget about pushing uphill, not going to happen!! I had to spend twice the amount of time to push 4 inches than 2 just because the amount of snow would not fit in the blade, so you have to push 1/4 of the length of the blade at a time and always down hill. Other than everything mentioned above, I am very happy to have it to remove the snow in my very very long driveway.

Give 4 star rating since I was not yet using it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to assemble in spite of somewhat hard to follow step by step instruction due to lack of details.

Broken 2 times in 2 different storms
I purchased this and installed it working fine. First snow storm 5” of light fluffy snow …. Lift bar falls off at the end connecting it to the plow blade . I spend 20 and fix it from hardware store. Storm #2 today … 1.5” of slush … cable release for lifting breaks and cannot get it fixed . Now to take it all apart and try to fix before the other storm comes 2 days from now. I read the reviews and I was skeptical now I know why.

Do Not Buy
Let's start with the name "FastAttach". It's anything but fast. It's sent with a thousand pieces and instructions that are not great. After multiple hours I finally got it assembled only to learn that the cables don't work. The blade does not move at an angle like it should. It only goes up and down about one out of three tries. Do not waste your time or money on this product. It's a piece of garbage.

Worthless
Don’t waist your money on this colossal piece of junk. I have a couple of herniated discs in my back so I bought it for my lawn mower to clear my driveway of snow in the winter. The spring on the plow is so flimsy it folds over trying to move 3”-4” of snow that fell of my roof so that its essentially worthless. Now Ive go to rig something to make it useable. For the cost it should be way sturdier.

Just what was needed....
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a gift for my son and, so far, he loves it. The only issue that we had was a missing part but Cub Cadet replaced it right away.

Poor Quality Control
Plow was missing parts. The design is flawed in that parts do not line up without significant tweaking.

Doesn’t fit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Attachment is built very strong but it doesn’t fit the fast attach brackets on my XT2, the holes do not line up perfectly where the Pins will go through, the unit came with another set of Fast Attach Brackets and the holes on them only line up partially on one of the brackets.

Blade was easy to install, bout 3 hrs. complete. Feet adjustment is challenging using wrenches instead of refrigerator feet adjustment.

Beats shoveling!
Instructions were clear and installation was straightforward for anyone with a few mechanical skills and basic tools! Raising and lowering and angle adjustments from the driver's seat are very convenient. Will need to add tire chains to rear wheels for better traction. My wife loves it!

Great but directions are not.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The only issue that I had with the plow was the build directions. Once I figured out how to attach it and what was not clear in the pictures it’s awesome.

Not what I expected
Not really what I thought it would be had to reinforce the front spring because it kept bogged down. Still not the greatest but will do for small jobs wouldn’t recommend for anything big....
