Powerful Cub Cadet
professional-grade
engines by Kohler®
and Briggs & Stratton®
provide exceptional
cutting performance,
even in tall, thick grass.
The cutting system features a deep
deck that provides optimal grass lift and
mulching capability. The overlapping
blades ensure that no grass is left uncut,
and a wide discharge chute spreads grass
clippings evenly — providing a manicured
lawn without clumping or uncut grass.
A comfortable, ergonomic design features high-
back seats, extensive leg room, available arm rests,
rubber-cushioned foot pads and soft-touch controls —
delivering an easy and enjoyable mowing experience.
They’re built to last with fully welded steel
frames that are the thickest in the industry,
not to mention cast-iron front axles.
And each is backed by a
5-year warranty.
