Greetings from Illinois!
Greetings from Illinois! I live in the northwest suburbs of Chicagoland about 35 miles from the Loop. One house up from the Fox River which flows down from Green Bay and eventually lands in the Mississippi River. Have 1.5 acres of lawn, thus the interest in mowing tractors. Have gone the lightweight route with three Craftsman tractors in the past, but tired of having to buy a new one every six years or so. This time around leaning toward a dealer purchased Cub Cadet LTX 1046KW. Seeing so many Cub Cadet enthusiasts is exciting and reinforces the decision to go with a Cub Cadet. Since you guys are experienced with and experts on the products, any wisdom you have on the below would be valued.
- Is reliability of recent products an issue in your minds? - Inputs about the Kawasaki engines versus Kohler engines? - Thoughts about Cub Cadet versus John Deere? The Select Series 300 from a local dealer is the only other option I am considering at this point. - Is it unreasonable to expect 10-15 years of life from a well maintained Cub Cadet? - What makes you a fan of Cub Cadet products?

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
