Cub Cadet xt1 lt42b opinions?
Own an older LT1046, would never recommend anything MTD. It's just all around poor quality. If it was me, in the past, I would have recommended a Deere 300 series. But a few months back, my neighbor just purchased a Huskvana TS248XD, and I was impressed. Welded vs stamped deck, and a Kawasaki 23hp engine and a Tuff Torque transaxel. As for me , the Cub is getting retired for a Gravely ZTHD zero-turn. More on reddit.com

September 27, 2023Cub Cadet XT1 LT42B vs XT2 LX42
I recently was at this decision crossroad and went with the xt1 LT50 ($2750 at home depot and even less with military/veteran discount). 24HP kholer, 50" fabricated deck, k46 trans, electric PTO (blade engage). The only difference between the xt1 lt50 and the xt2 lx46 is the lx46 xt2 has a 1" rear axle vs the lt50 being 3/4". xt2 lx46 also has armrests and front bumper. edit: also the xt2 lx46 has bearings on the front wheels. LT50 has bushings. More on reddit.com

Kohler, Briggs, then Chinese. But being a former Cub owner now, Ariens, I would tell you to find a non-MTD brand and go with a Kawasaki engine. More on reddit.com

What riding lawn mower can fit through a gate?
Cub Cadet small riding lawn mowers, with their 30-in. deck size, are ideal for smaller properties because of their compact size. If you’re tight on storage space or have a smaller gate you need to regularly maneuver through, this model might be ideal for your needs as it’s designed to fit through most gates. Cub Cadet offers two types of small riding lawn mowers: the gas CC30H and the electric CC30E.

September 27, 2023 -
Looking to get first brand new riding mower. I've been looking around and lurking here and the lawn mower subreddit. I've read alot to avoid the k46 hydrostatic and best to buy from dealer and not chain store if able.
I came across the cub cadet xt1 lt42b at a local dealer. I have less than half are, typical Florida residential lot. 42" is perfect no major inclines.
Any glaring issues with this model? I'm open for other recommendations if you'd like. Lawn tractor is ideal.

You will get half the life of a x300 series Deere, or buy the cub and plan on using it few seasons and dump it and move up in quality, the cubs just flimsy if you wanna buy one machine and have it last 10 yrs I'd go.x300 series Deere or get a Gravely zthd 6k.market. The smaller Gravleys under the zt hd use cheap hydros, Deere's z4xx series kind don't hold up either till you spend 5-6k on one even at the postage stamp stuff mowers. Cubs zts are stupid cheap hydros, you have to buy something that's 8-9k to get decent longevity.

June 16, 2023 -
Hello,
I am new here. I am looking to purchase a new lawn tractor, but there are so many options that I am unable to determine if certain features are worth the extra costs. I have read many posts across this forum and the Cub Cadet forum, but I cannot make a decision because some of the details are not completely up to date. I am looking for some advice/opinions on lawn tractors.
I only have about .5 of an acre to mow. I used to use a push mower, but due to having knee surgery last year, I am unable to continue doing so. My property is mostly flat with a small gradual incline in my front yard. It is such a small incline, that I would not consider it a hill. I will not be using it to tow nor pull anything, including attachments. Due to living in a subdivision, I am only able to fit a mower with a 42" deck into my backyard due to fences/gates between the houses.
The two options that I am currently looking at are the Cub Cadet XT1 LT42B and the Cub Cadet XT2 LX42. The differences between the two that I have found in my research is as follows:
Cub Cadet XT1 LT42B - $2150
-19HP Single Cylinder Briggs and Stratton EX1900 Durable engine
-Tuff Torq TL-200 Transmission
-12 gauge stamped deck
-Bushing for the wheels
-No Arm Rest/Bumper
Cub Cadet XT2 LX42 - $3250
-20HP Twin Cylinder Kohler KT715 engine
-Tuff Torq K46 Transmission
-11 gauge fabricated deck
-Bearings for the wheels
-Arm Rest/Bumper included
I am trying to determine if the $1100 (~50%) increase is worth the cost of the extra features for my light use. I do not mind paying more for quality, but I have little to no experience with lawn tractors and do not know if the quality/durability is there for the extra cost. I know many would recommend a garden tractor over a lawn tractor for durability, but due to the previously mentioned restrictions, that is not possible at this time.
I am open to other brands/options, but there are not many options available in my area.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Iomcamaro

Idk. I’m sure the fabricated deck is better but I have the LT 46 with kohler engine and it’s been awesome. No issues
