Default Out With the Old, In With the New

I just replaced my 2004 Cub RZT 50 with a 1999 Dixie Chopper x2002, not a cub, but certainly higher quality.

The RZT is kinda tough for what it is, mowing your and your friends yard once a week. But it wont hold up to doing 5 to 8 acres a week, like so many try to use them for. YOull like the heavier deck on the chopper. If I was going to buy a cub zturn it would be the zforce. Heavier deck and trannys.

I worked on a big Simplicity the other day, that was the cats butt! It had shocks on it and FAST! Such a smooth ride. I also work on my neighbors hustler with a 32 hp Kaw on it, its fast too but not like that Simp was.

The RZT was a nice starter zero turn, but when you work for a dealer that sells Cubs, Gravelys, Dixies, and Scags, it seems you can never have something too nice.

For a dedicated mower I would like a cub cadet TANK or a kubota ZD331(diesel)

The Dixie choppers are nice machines,you must get your yard done in no time!

any manufacturer that sells a zero turn with a caterpillar diesel engine is pretty wild.

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.
