I bought two enduro xt1,s this year. One for me and one for my son in law. We both love em. Best turning radios of any lawn tractor. What a shame they didn't have cub cadet hats.
Been running an XT2 w/Kawasaki now since these new models came out 3-4 years ago. I really can't complain. From what I hear they are light years better than previous models....the total redesign was well worth it.
I have the XT1 with the 18HP Kohler, 2 years on it so far no problems at all, and runs my 42" snow blower just fine. Much better than the Craftsman YT4000 Briggs & Stratton engine I had previously....that thing had several issues so bad it would randomly shut itself down while mowing and couldn't get it started for several hours afterwards. Eventually I'd like to step up to the XT3 garden tractor, but I'm in hopes by then that they've redesigned them to have a PTO like the old Cub Cadet garden tractors had.
I just bought a XT1 and would have bought a XT2 or 3 if they had one in stock. The XT 1 is the very best tractor I have ever had a pleasure to drive. The cut is amazing the ease of how well it cuts. From the engine to the seat everything is perfect. Thank you Cub Cadet for the quality and that it's MADE IN America! I love it. idaho.
This is a good general overview of the Cub Cadet XT Enduro. It would be nice to see video about the electric mowers that includes the level of detail that is in this video.
We have a Tractor Supply in town that sells Cub Cadet lawn tractors and walk behind mowers...I think you need to look into giving Tractor Supply dealer rights, give them everything Cub Cadet as well as the UTV's and let them sell it all, we don't have a tractor dealer or ATV/UTV dealer here in town so stuff like that would sell well I think. I'm pretty sure my local Tractor Supply has sold at least a couple dozen XT's so far this spring, outselling the Huskie machines sitting next to them, and they've sold a few of the Cub Cadet Zero Turns too. Just bought an XT1 42" with the 18HP Kohler...so far I can say its much better than the 8 year old Craftsman POS it replaced. How about bringing back your Compact Utility Tractors too they'd really sell here too.
@Jim Marcum I have the XT1 42" 18HP model, does a great job mowing my lawn, I mow about an acre. I ordered the 42" 3 stage snow blower last year and only got to use it once on 8" of snow but it did great, initial install was time consuming but installation this fall shouldn't take nearly as long. Loving my Cub Cadet...only wish I was able to afford the XT3 garden tractor but the XT1 will have to do for now.
I bought the Cub Cadet XT1 Enduro with the 547cc engine. It is a really nice lawn tractor. However, I wish now that I had bought the XT2 with the fabricated deck. I am considering drilling some "drain holes" for the stamped deck where the outer edge is rolled up, which holds water after washing, and spraying the holes with a protective coating (or rust preventative paint) to keep the drilled metal from rusting.
I bought a Cub in 2015. It still looks great. It doesn't run anymore, but it looks great. The Kohler Courage died after 60 hours. Kohler doesn't make the engine anymore and says I should " just buy a new mower".
just bought the XT2 42 inch deck, i even canceled the green and yellow one, before delivery from a big box store, i wanted to give my money to a local business instead of a chain.better mower also cause the XT2 are dealer only models
I have 27 hours on my xt1 it still looks new. Really liked the way it ran and cut but I'm already having issues with the safety or electrical system. Mine has the push in plastic magnetic key with the hour meter and bluetooth module. The digital readout on the hour meter shows the hours when you push the key in and any saftey warnings such as seat, brake or pto, and will not let you make a unsafe start. When I push my key in the readout screen has rE on it and will not start. I called cub cadet and asked what this code was and they had no clue. They just told me to take it to a dealership that could scan it. Of course I've had it just long enough for the warranty to be out by a few months. I was trying to decide between this mower and a husqvarna and decided on the cub cadet. Wishing I had went with the husqvarna now. Last mower I had was a husqvarna and I had no problems at all with it until I lost it in a bad flood. It ran for years with no issues at all.
Mike Leibhart I've got an older 1045. Tired of trying to keep it fixed, gonna put it up against the fence and buy a new mower but what to buy, they are all made by MTD.
never owned a Cub. my John Deere had axles replaced, had deck pullies replaced and paint started peeling off Of course after warranty was gone. going to try Cub.
They don't make em like they used to. My JD still has original deck spindles from '96. That tractor spent years mowing very thick PA farm turf and I just had the deck(48c) welded because of cracks. Ask me about the JD cart that my dad and I hauled tons of rocks in. I don't know but it was white in color for some reason, and even without the back in place it was very servicable. Compare that with the plastic stuff nowadays; of course it would be expensive but what hell if it got your kid to brag about it 40 yrs later on YT I say money well spent. I was at JD dealer a few yrs ago and wasn't impressed.
The only one is the XT3 which is based on the old 2500 series which had plows, tillers, rollers, arrerators, dethatchers, and any sleeve hitch attachment you could ever want! As well as a snow plow and snowblower. So the XT3 can most certainly use ground engaging implements, it uses the BDU10L which is made by hydro gear, also happens to be there top of the line hydro pump, the XT3 has a transmission that is equivalent to the k72 in the john deere x500 series.
Cub Cadet should come out with a pro series Garden Tractor. Basically its the XT3 but with some improvements. The frame, and hydro are the same as they are perfect for this build! The hydro is ground engaging. They should have a steel hood, stay with the electric lift and power steering, but have electrical connections at the front for a snowblower, plow, front broom, bucket. They should come out with a electric sleeve hitch with 2 different 30 inch tiller options, one hydraulic and one mechanical. They should have 2 engine options, the Kohler Command Pro series 25, 28, 31 hp as well as a efi option in the command line, as well as a Kohler agies liquid cooled 25, 28, 31, 35 hp options. The mower decks would be fabricated and stamped from 42 to 60 in both lines. A front brush guard standard. A moldboard plow, disk harrow, chisel plow and seeder. As well as a cultivator. They would also have a diff lock. And the seat would be electric adjust, and lumbar, as well as angle, with arm rests, it would be an air ride seat. As well as being heated or cooled by the press of a button. They would be called the XT4 line. The normal XT4 would have the kohler command engines, while the XT4L would have the kohler agies liquid cooled engine. They would retail for around $8500 for the XT4 line and for the XT4L line they would start at $9000.
As a new comer to riding mowers I wish that Cub Cadet could publish a clear, in color, operator manual. The instructions that come with it is very generic and small print that does not give a clear step by step operator procedure. The five minute instruction I got when it was delivered went in one ear and out the other assuming the written operation would be clear.
After you start the mower you turn the key back a position and push a button. After that you can go from forward to reverse by just touching the pedals. It’s a good feature.
@@mallboss1219 yea our old lt1042 or 1052 can't remember the exact model but its belt nearly comes off in stuff that's shorter than most lawns have anyway, and the engine boys down doing literally nothing. But other than that for a 15 year old mower it's pretty good.
They use too long belts, twisting too much. Shorter simpler pulley systems would last longer but to conform to safety regulations to stop blades quick adds insane compexity and reduces durability. Deck belts on my old 12 MTD 38" deck was 5/8 so they can do better.
My neighbor gave me an XT1. Needs work, ripped the hood off it, the deck is a mess needs leveled at least, think it has over 500 hours. Ran it without the air cleaner. So this is probably only a 3 year old rider? I have a 2005 LT2180. 675hrs. Glad to see the XT has the new belt guide system.
Wrong, its completely serviceable. Contact the manufacturer on instructions regarding servicing the Tuff Torq transaxle...most of these have a K46, I believe the XT3 series has a K62, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the K46 is more of the entry level model found in most lawn tractors using a hydrostatic transaxle. The K62's I believe is what is used in the larger models with the diff-lock. At least the XT2's have the K62 transaxle...maybe different on the XT3's since they are shaft driven.
I bought a cub cadet xt3 . With a three stage snow blower. Never again will I buy that model. It couldn't get through snow , almost five thousand and change. And I will never buy again. Very disappointed.
Vary sad to say pos worse waist of money i ever spent put mine in scrap yard at 3 years old warenty ranout with about a hour on it i can say the oil stayed clear tell junk yard. With a hour use on it blad just keeps coming off dangerious dont buy one o i never hit any thing if its what any one wonders

I first saw this guy mowing, and thought. "Party ON, Wayne!"
I purchased the XT2 today. Bigger than what I need but it was available at my local dealership so I pulled the trigger. Replaces my John Deere S120

We purchased our GT54 in 2006. It is still going strong. Very dependable with normal wear and tear. We have 2.5 acres all this time.
Picking ours up today.
hope these are better than the ltx series! but at least i learned to be a mower repairman in my spare time!

Posiadam XT2 wspaniała maszyna 🙂
We had an Enduro series XT1 or XT2. It was 3 years old and had 274 hours on it. It caight fire during use!!!
Had the same thing happen to me. Mouse had built a nest on motor and caused the fire.
Wow
Dear Sir/Madam,
How do I change the oil pump on aKawasaki FH661V ? Can an guy with basic skills attempt it?
just got the XT2 LX54.. gonna spray paint it flat black. ..just because
Hope these newer cub cadets have improved, I bought a new 1040 and had nothing but problems.
The new XT model line is light years better...total redesign.
The 1040 was, perhaps, the worst mower built by Cub Cadet. New models are vastly improved.

What about the transmission? Is it designed for ground engagement, like plowing, tilling work?
Absolutely not

Yes you can leave it on the yellow part as long as you want until you shut it off
Shear Bolts,

The five minute instruction I got when it was delivered went in one ear and out the other assuming the written operation would be clear.
My user manual was printed on brown, cheap comic book style paper. Totally unsat for this company.
I don't know who did sound mixing, but the music is way to loud! I could not hear the voice over very well, you should re-mixed and repost this video.
I know MTD is now owner of Cub cadet, are they still the same Cub quality or did MTD turn them to crap too
I've been running an MTD with Kohler engine for 10 years with no problems.
