The mowing season starts in the spring for most of the country, so it’s best to begin your research well before then. While the timing may vary depending on where you live, allow yourself enough time to compare model and test drive options at your local Cub Cadet dealer before the mowing season begins.

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.

Riding lawn mowers are great for larger properties, but because Cub Cadet lawn tractors can accept a variety of lawn mower attachments, there’s no one-size-fits-all model. The ideal lawn mower is the one that is catered most closely to your yard’s needs. First, consider the size of the area you need to mow, the type of terrain and the features you want. Our lawn mower product finder guides you step-by-step through all of these considerations to help narrow down your search.
