I bought a Cub Cadet ZT1 50” mower with a Kawasaki engine from Home Depot in April and have been disappointed with it since day one. Here are the issues I’m having:
-The control bars do not line up evenly. I’ve tried adjusting from the sides of the control bar and the front bolts on the frame. Ive just accepted they will never be the same. It seems like one is bent?
-The mower does not go straight while pushing both control bars all the way forward. It feels like the right side has a lot more power than the left, so I always have to keep the right control bar closer to me. There is equal tire pressure on both sides.
-This mower is supposed to be able to go 7mph forward. I’m not getting even close to that. 3.5mph is pretty much as fast as this thing will go while I’m mowing. I don’t even think I could hit 7mph if I was going down a hill and not mowing.
-The front right caster does not seem to sit level with the left. It often is coming off the ground and spinning, even on flat ground. It seems like the wheels are not all level. This is not really a problem but I’m curious if this may explain why the right side has more power than the left?
Anyone having similar issues?
I have a Cub Cadet mower I got second hand. It has been pretty decent overall. I have had some issue recently. First, when I crank it, it seems to not always want to crank, and the display screen will say low battery, even when it is a brand new battery. With a few tries, it will crank. Then, when I start the blades, the mower will sputter and die unless I have the choke all the way up. Any ideas? I will get more info such as model and engine brand tomorrow if needed.
