Cub Cadet (Better than Zero-Turn)---Sold June 14.

Cub Cadet (Better than Zero-Turn)​

OK guys, this is my last one.
I sold my Gravely, with Mower & Blower last year, because my Cub does such a good job mowing, and I don’t have to blow snow any more, because Bear Jr plows All with his Ram & Boss V-plow.
Then I got to the point where I can’t even mow on a rider any more, so Bear Jr & his helper are doing my mowing with his Zero-Turn.
So now I’m going to put it in FB Marketplace for $1400.
However, if anyone from SMF wants it bad enough to come & get it, they can have it for $1200.
I can tell you that in 60 years of mowing, my Gravely was awesome, because Gravely tractors just Are.
However this Cub Cadet is easily the best Mower I’ve ever had. Zero-turns are outstanding, and this one has a steering wheel & it steers just like a regular 4 wheel tractor.

So here’s a little about it:

Neighbor has Cub zero, nice mowers.

I have a Cub Cadet LTX 1046 and it's a great mower...

 

[Bearcarver]

It's actually the Zero-Turn this thing has that makes it the greatest mower of all times.
I didn't want to have to get used to the two hand steering that regular "Zero-turn" mowers have. This thing does all the wheel control on it's own, and all you do is steer it with a steering wheel, just like any other mower or tractor.
And you can spin it on it's own axis. That ability cut my mowing time way down too.
So like I said, I'd put that Gravely up against any other Tractor, but when it comes to "Just plain Mowing" this Zero-turn Cub Cadet is the "Cat's Meow". (LOL Never heard that one before, huh??)

Nice mower Bear, I wish I lived closer to you, but Florida is just a little to far of a drive.

You could actually plow without chains on, or weights??
My Gravely weighed 1,000 pounds, with the engine over the back wheels, and I still needed chains & concrete blocks on the back hitch. And that was to use the Snowblower!! (Plus the 230 pound Bear in the driver's seat!)

I have the same one Dave... with a bagger ...

Before this one I had the Cub with the drive shaft instead of a belt... It was really overpriced and didn't change a thing except for the occasional idler pulley going bad ...

Bear... how long do you think it would take you to drive that to Fl. ??

I have a Cub Cadet ZT2. Love it. Best mower I ever had.

Snow blower out front weighs a lot more than a plow blade that's why chains and weights are needed. My JD with blower is worthless without them (alright ready for the other green slams )

I got wheel weights on it, inner and outer. 50lbs per wheel. No chains. Snow was light n fluffy.
Them old school cub cadets where built to last.

The one I had before this one was a Cub Cadet too, but it was their first try at Zero-turn with a steering wheel, and it was a piece of junk. I don't remember the model name, but I only kept it 3 years. I had to replace all 3 Blade Bearings more than once a year. After the first one, they were free, but a total PITA changing them every year! I guess it was worth it to them, because it helped bring this miracle machine forward. This thing is Awesome!!

This one would take forever @ about 5 MPH Max!
My old Gravely would have been a lot quicker @ 14 MPH in 3rd Gear, High Range.

Man a zero turn with a steering wheel? That engineer drank beer and smoked cigarettes! It takes talent to drink beer and smoke with two separate handles on the mower but can be done...good thing I quit smoking lol.
Sucks you had to sell it but glad you found a home for it.
