I do not know if I ever posted this before but my Cub Cadet transmission broke before the start of this grass cutting season.... It was just finished with 4 seasons of mowing getting ready for its fifth.. Only $1,100.00 to repair it..
I said no thank you and promptly bought a Husqvarna riding more of same size but far better warranty than Cub.
I would not recommend Cub Cadet to anyone except somebody I did not like maybe.. The only thing I iked better on the Cub than my Husqvarna was the cutting height selections.
On the Cub they had half inch height adjustment increments.
Husqvarna only has 1 inch increments. Other than that it seems to be a solid riding lawn tractor. We'll see after five years...
