dgb: Remember there's Cub Cadets and there's Cub Cadets... IH made Garden Tractors with the Cub Cadet name. IH also made Lawn Tractors but they were called Cadets. After IH sold the Outdoor Products division to MTD/CCC, the company name changed to the Cub Cadet Corporation and everything they make now uses that brand name. This also includes the one you got... It's a Lawn Tractor (LT) and not a Garden Tractor. The 1000 series are usually sold at the big box stores. Even the 2000 Series are only Lawn Tractors!! To get a genuine Cub Cadet Garden Tractor, you have to go to a full line Cub Cadet Dealer (not a box store) and get a 2500, 3000, 4000 series up, etc....
Having said all that, new Cub Cadet LT's like yours perform very well at mowing, which is what they are designed to do and you will probably like it for that purpose..
