XT1 Enduro LT 46 in. 22 HP V-Twin Kohler 7000 Series Engine Hydrostatic Drive Gas Riding Lawn Mower

Had it about 6 months, used it on my 1.5 acres lot.... so far so good, engine start within first kick even at one point it sat for 4 weeks in the garage, seat is ok comfort, assembling is minimal to nothing, as they arrives in a crate pallet, the only pain is removing it out the crate, one side of the 2 wheels was stuck into the pallet wood, you can’t push or pull, I have to use saw to cut removed wood pieces and have my neighbors help able to free the mower out off the crate pallet, so plan on have additional help for your mower removal. Also lately I noticing my front wheel alignment getting off probably need some tuning under the hood.

I bought a new husqvarna in 2018. I bought a new John Deere x330 in 2019. I also bought a new xt1 cub in 2019. I bought another xt1 for my son in law. They are so far ahead if every other mower ice owned its amazing. It turns a lot sharper than other mowers. Led lights are standard on the cub. The kohler 5400 engine is a winner to. Buy one. You'll like it.

The Cub Cadet XT1 Enduro LT46 is a well designed and made lawn tractor. The 22hp V-Twin Kholer engine model is strong and has a sturdy chasis that can turn in a tight radius. Cutting your 2 acre or less lawn will be a breeze. The Hydrostatic transmission is decent and is basically an automatic as there is no manual shifting between gears. It's strong enough to mow wet grass, in reverse and on hilly lanscapes. Several accessories can be added to this tractor, such as; a plough, mulch cover , metal bumber, hand rests, bagger and more. I like that the mow deck has a nozzle to connect a garden hose to wash grass clippings from under the deck and the gas tank is easily accessed from up front without having to the lift hood or seat. If you order delivery to your home, be prepared to uncrate it, but you will get a brand new unit from the warehouse. Setup is fairly easy; seat, steering wheel, grass discharger and connect battery. If you order for pickup at HD they can set it up for you, however you will need to arrange pickup and delivery to your house. You can buy in store and possibly negotiate a lower price, but it may have been sat on and played with by customers and may be a little dusty. Overall a great riding mower for the price, could be a little pricey, but you do get what you pay for with these items.

So far the lawnmower is amazing. Starts right up and mows great. Very simple to drive around the yard. I can't wait to get a bagger for it.

Assembled seat (2 bolts) , attached steering wheel, snapped hood and dash cover in place, connected battery (2 blots), checked deck height, and checked engine oil. Added Motorsport team stickers :) Installed accessory Bumper and arm rest. Added non ethanol gasoline, started right up; cut 3 acres. No hesitation performed great! love it! Neighbor with Green machine envious over features such as lift off hood, ease of access for maintenance, fab deck

I bought this online because my local store had none. I was told that i could have it shipped to the house and one week later i had it. It was crated and mostly assembled. The seat, steering wheel and cover of the engine cowling had to be attached. The battery had to be hooked up. These things were reasonably easy. Getting it off the pallot was the hardest thing and i would say nearly impossible without a reciperarting saw a hammer drill pry bar and cross cut saw. It was a battle and unless you are ready to do battle with all these tools do not have this drop shipped to your house. On top of that i had a flat tire as a result of a staple being shot into a rear tire when the crate was assembled. The solution to that is to long a story for this but it was solved. The mower started instantly and it ran like a dream. Lesson learned let homedepot take delivery set it up and then pick it up from them or pay them to deliver.

Online ordering was EZ, delivered in good shape in a crate on the paved road that my gravel road turns off of, an 18 wheeler will deliver it so it will be dropped off the best place for them. EZ assembling of the seat ,hood,steering wheel, dash.only negative is it did not have zerk fitting in the deck spindles and there were no grease in the spindles, after buying 3 zerk fitting and a grease gun 2 tubes of high speed grease it took over a tub of grease also, a little oil and fuel, I was ready to mow. check the engine oil also mine was low.

Purchased this product to replace the craftsman 21 HP 42 Inch mower we had been using for 7 years. We have a "Yard" and not a lawn. One of my concerns while reasearching mowers was that it would be able to handle the inclines (not really hills) and the ditch out front. Many specs indicate that mowers are for flat use only. I don't know what the incline is on our property, but this mower can go in and out of the ditch (PLEASE DON'T TIP YOURS OVER OK!) and will mow our yards with the inclines without problem. We also have horses and use this to pull the poop-drag (approx 50 pounds of chain link fence attached to 4x4's) in the pasture without problem. I really like the larger (46 inch) deck which is no problem for us due to the fact that all our gates can accomodate a truck. You might want to check your gate sizes especially when taking into account the exhaust discharge chute. The high rpms and the massive blades do a good job of chopping and ejecting grass. The grass comes out in nice sliced pieces which disperse more readily in my yard. No piles of debris to deal with. You have to avoid the temptation to step on the deck when gettin off/on. The deck sticks out a bit from the mower floor. Our yard is bumpy and this mower is not really well suited to that type of yard. I hope the seat springs will soften up a bit over use. I like the location of the fill tank. It is easy to pour from a spouted gas can without needing a funnel. I changed the oil/filter after 10 hours and had to use a screw driver to get the filter off. I presume a person with massive arms tightened it. Changing the blades is a little more involved than our last mower. There are more clips and a belt guard needs to be removed in order to detach drive belt from the motor pulley. The blades are held with a 15/16" (Not sure what that is in communist) socket required to unbolt/rebolt the blades. I think the same person with massive arms tightened these at the factory. Overall it is zippy going forward. The reverse pedal is a bit touchy and doesn't seem to make full use of the power. I've been very careful to go slowly when making tight turns. The linkage 'feels' like it could be easily damaged if not done properly. Steering is easy and pushing the mower (make sure to disengage the transmission) is quite easy as well. I contacted both Cub Cadet and HD after delivery due to two items that have not been addressed. They seem like little things but their lack of concern may be somehting you need to keep in mind when making your purchase decsion. 1) the hose fitting for cleaning the deck was not there. I mean C'mon. 2) The logo cap in the middle of the steering wheel (covered up by a sticker that didn't belong there when it was delivered) is scratched badly on the reverse side. See Photo. Every time I get on the mower that is the first thing I see and then I recall how this was ignored. Every. Single. Time. So far I have about 20 hours use and so far so good.

I love my new Cub Cadet...replaced our first one and very happy with it. The guy at Home Depot was especially helpful, as well, making this a win/win situation, for sure! We have hills and rough patches, as well as lakeshore...so we need a tractor that can cover it all and we got it with Cub Cadet. We miss it when we put it away for the winter!

buyer beware. Check everything on these before you buy it. Make sure you check the blades and all the body parts. Even the wheels. I went to cut my grass and butchered it. One blade was bent. When I got checking it all over. The front fender was broke and the deck wheel is bent. The hour meter had 5.2 on it. Now how can this be on a brand new mower. This is not a review on shipping. This is the condition of the mowers at the homedepot stores.
