Does XT1 PTO need strong battery voltage to engage the blades?
I have a newer 2019 XT1. The mower will start. Voltage shows 12.5. PTO switch will not engage so we bought a new one. No help.
I heard that the PTO needs at least 12.7 volts to work. I tried charging the battery. The battery only charged up to 12.5. It is at least 2 years old. After charging, blades would still not engage. I have attached a few pics. There aren't any wires that seems to have been chewed. A few weeks ago a blue tarp got tangled up under the mower. We were able to remove the tarp and the blades worked then. Do you think a new battery will help?

Where are you measuring this 12.5 volts? At the PTO? Or at the battery? Need to know if PTO is getting the juice. There are are likely relays and switches that could fail.

voltage
The little screen on the mower shows 12.5 when I turn it on. The multimeter at the battery posts also said 12.5 when it was off. The battery charger showed 12.5 and said battery was fully charged.

I believe you have sufficient battery voltage to operate the PTO from the power supply. I believe you have an issue with either the PTO by itself or whether the electrical circuit is compromised between the PTO and the supply. Judging by your previous post, I don't think you have a meter reading at the PTO. You only have a reading of voltage at the battery.

Thanks for your reply. I will try to test the plug behind the switch.

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.
