What tranny you have on your XT1? If it's the crappy Tuff Torque K46 I hope your land is perfectly flat and it takes under one hour to mow your land because after that they start overheating and since they are none serviceable you need to drop the tranny to change the oil other wise you end up with a toasted tranny before 250hr.
There is a drill/drain plug solution available to avoid the dropping session, just Google K46 troubles shooting. Cub Cadet used to offer the Tuff torque K58 as a option on the XT1 who is a more reliable tranny but I don't know if they have the drain plug already there.
Sorry to blow your bubble.
