Answer This Question

Hello Debra. All of our residential mowers are designed and approved to safely operate on slopes up to a maximum of 15 degrees of incline. A mower will safely handle slopes when starting at the bottom of the slope and mowing side-to side, rather than up and down. Thank you for your question.

                            Hi Reverse. If present, locate the reverse caution mode on the ignition and activate to mow in reverse. This will allow you to operate the blades while in reverse. Thank you for your question.

                                      It lastest 5 years before it slung a rod. It was well taken care of. You expect to get more than 5 years or of something this expensive. Should have bought the John Deere. I don't recommend this mower.

                                        Did they sell me a used mower as new?
                                        Bought this mower new from home depot, ni issues with the mower at all. Comfortable and runs and cuts great. The only issue I have is when I opened the packet containing the owners manual, written in red in on the font was "purchased used 5/5/25, low hours?". Did home depot really sell a used mower and "new"?

                                          Work horse and versatile lawn tractor
                                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased in May 2022 for a 3 acre lot. So far I have put 325 hours on it and had very few problems. I have replaced a couple of pulleys, throttle cable and a battery. I do the maintenance regulary including a full winter clean up. It has great turning radius and is great for uneven pastures! I have the trailer with it and tool attachments which make it a great machine for jobs around the property. Cons: Grass piles up in the pulleys on the mower deck under the safety guards and under the engine cover. It also shoots out from under the mower deck when turning. Overall it has worked better than I expected and I do run it hard.

                                            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my Cub Cadet XT1LT46 lawnmower in 2016 when we bought a home with a half acre of lawn and ten years later I can say I love it. I purchased it with the lawn bagging accessories and they are easy to install and work great for spring dethatching cleanup and fall leaf cleanup. The chopped fall leaves I collect with my XTI mulching blades are used as my garden mulch. No mechanical issues with it in 10 years of operation.

                                              Very nice mower. I went from a John Deere e140 to the Cub Cadet and it is a big upgrade. I know the e140 is an older model but, even when comparing a new equivalent of a JD, this mower rocks! Bigger deck, easier fuel access, and the seat is way more comfortable. The controls are in a more ergonomic position and the mower just feels more well-built.

                                              Mower is fine - no problem. Delivery service is TERRIBLE. Mower was delivered without keys. Called 800 number 8 times and was disconnected each time. Had to go to Home Depot to get keys. Got home and noticed mower had NO discharge cover. Had to return to Home Depot for that. No gas in mower. Mower left strapped to double pallet.

                                                Mower deck belt
                                                I bought this riding mower end of April 2025 and used it maybe ten times. This morning while mowing the grass the mover deck belt partially shredded and became unusable. I had a Craftsman riding mower for 18 years and it never shredded the mower deck belt once. After spending $3400 on a new riding mower 6 months ago I had to spend $85 on a new belt and a few hours of labor to replace it. Very disappointed on this purchase.

                                                  If used a John Deere E130 (2020), for 6 grass cutting seasons. This Cub Cadet blows the Deere out of the water! Much nicer ride, easier to handle/drive, easier operation and a much better cut.
