First off, thank you Messick for setting up a Cub Cadet forum.
I own a 5234D with 60" MMM and I like it alot but I have had some problems with it (read my review and others in the review section). I have a great dealer who has taken care of everything. I have just under 100 hours on it in a little over 1 year of ownership. I just switched over to Rotella T Synthetic motor oil.
I have a Woods PHD25, GTC40 tiller, 5' rear blade and 5' landscape rake...King Kutter 6' rear blade (for snow), 4' box blade and carry all.
