Default Who Brain Storms These Things

Anyone know why in the world CC would install such a tiny battery in a 23 hp engine? I have a 2022 XT2 LX46 and the battery will not turn the engine over after it has been running for a period of time. At the end of the 2023 mowing season, I called the dealership and took the mower in for service and trouble shooting. They installed a new battery (it was 13 months old so no warranty) but it didn't help with the starting issue when the engine is warm. There is not enough push to get the engine over high compression. If you hookup a charger or jumper cables it starts fine. Anyone else have issues? Has CC gone back to installing a larger battery? I'm just curious, I'll have to live with what I have. Kind of venting I guess. I feel better now. ?

Very short time for a battery to go bad. Is it charging good?

Seems weird,

How are the battery, the cable, starter motor, and the solenoid connections?

Sounds like a voltage problem to me.

The smaller new gen AGM batteries are rated at 210 CCA. I have a '24 gx54d with the 26hp Kohler and the battery spins the engine over NO problem. Maybe the o/p has an issue with grounding or a corroded comnection. Could be something else beyond the battery.

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.
