My new XT3 GSX
I picked up my new GSX last Friday. I opted to save a little money and install the mulch kit on the 48 inch fabricated deck myself. Installation was easy , change out some factory baffles , change out the blades and remove the chute. Reinstall the deck. Easy job.
Took some photos Saturday morning before my 1882 left for a quick side by side line up of size. I have to say. I love the new one. Everything on it seems very well made. The dash panel items feel much more solid than the deere I looked at. so far I've only mowed with it but the 25 hp engine feels like it has power for days. I have to get used to having saftey switches that the 1882 didn't have in use but that's just something I have to get used to vs something I don't like. So far the deck cuts great. Didn't have any scalping issues. The electronic power steering feels responsive and worked great. The electronic deck lift worked great also. I do have to say that I love the exhaust note this thing has. Very strong sounding. I'll update with videos and other stuff soon. Got busy going other projects but so far I totally love it. Yes I know I could have "restored" by 1882 with the money spent on the new one and have money left over but hey you only live once and I got a new one.

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.
