Strengths Motor runs strong, Kohler 22 HP, Lots of power and very durable. Turns sharp and very tight.

Weaknesses Poor craftsmanship,throttle & choke cable lays on top of muffler box and coating melts off and cables will need replaced sooner than later. No gas gauge. Hoods tend to crack without any support. Zerk fittings tend to wobble loose on deck. Poor service, no setup on it when first bought. Poor cutting

Overall The best thing Cub Cadet has going for it is the Kohler Command engines. Poor craftsmanship on tractor. Warranty is not all it stands up to be. Would not buy from Kennedy Hardware again.

Strengths Few

Weaknesses Tractor has 64 hours. Steering gear broke. Tension pulley on deck broke. Starter Selonoid broke.

Overall Poor

Strengths Solid, high quality, engineered machine. Low vibration, comfortable, tight turning radius, powerful and fun to drive. Mulching deck and triple heavy-duty blades are standard. Kohler engine sounds and runs like a high-end tractor.

Weaknesses No fuel level indicator.

Overall Excellent quality and engineering design.
