Strengths The LT 1050 is a great deal for the money. The John Deere is about $500 more for the same features. The deck is heavy duty and mows great. I have used Grasshopper and Bad Boy zero turning and the Cub mows just as good if don't have alot of turns to make. This mower is also very powerful with the Kohler engine. I would buy this mower again.
Weaknesses I haven't found one yet and I have 60+ hours on it.
Overall Great mower for the price and cuts very well.

Strengths It is a great tractor...it runs well and mows great.
Weaknesses The hour meter works when it wants to; the reverse override works when it wants to; the plugs both fouled after only 31.4 hours; took it back to the dealer and they replaced the plugs but couldn't figure out why the reverse overdrive didn't work and the hour meter.
Overall Great tractor and would buy it again

Strengths SO much for the money...Love the 50" deck, and the ease of operation and hydrostatic transmission. Better warranty than the competitors (3 years). Very Happy so far, 1 season and no issues thus far.
Weaknesses Only weakness was the hitch point which bent. Could be better reinforced. I made a custom hitch and attached it over the existing area. Now it's heavy duty!
Overall Overall a great machine and get the job done fast and gives a great cut too!

Years of Use : 1-2 Years Use
Implements : NOne
Purchased From : Lowes
Strengths Deck, Turning, pulling
Weaknesses Cutting, power decreases over time. Has problems with leaving strips. Once that starts it is very hard to correct. Cub Cadet is really no help when it comes to problems. Blades are not cheap.
Overall Would not purchase again.

Price Paid : $2,500.00
Years of Use : 1-2 Years Use
Implements : Mower deck, trailers
Purchased From : Lowes
Strengths Manages steep hills like a goat, reliable, durable deck, maneuverable, 26hp Kohler Command engine powerful and quiet.(no longer available, switched to lower grade Courage engines) Good controls, ok seat, good handholds for working on slopes.
Weaknesses Traction could be improved with larger tires or by adding weights. Hitch plate bent where trailer hits when turning too far in reverse, could benefit from reinforcement. Top speed too low. Removing transmission linkage limiter/brake throttle lockout helps! After mod, under heavy load tranny belt drive chatters. Broke a deck spindle but hit a small stump, failed due to abuse. Replacement was straight forward.
Overall Very good mower with good deck, good controls, excellent usability. Hauls my log splitter, trailer or chipper with ease.

Strengths Mows well when it runs. Quieter than previous Cub mower
Weaknesses I have less than 10 hours on it and it has been back to the dealer 5 times. There is a spring that comes off somewhere in the drive train and then neither forward or reverse works. I have yet to mow my yard one time without it breaking down.
Overall Buy something else!

Strengths Have accumulated 50 hnours of mowing without a glitch. Mower has plenty of power and does a fine job of mowing. Deck flush system works well. Kohler engine performs great.
Weaknesses none....so far! Had te replace one headlight bulb. I can live with that!
Overall I have read other reviews and I am amazed of the problems some owners are experiencing. With the results I have enjoyed I think this mower is a great deal for the price.

Strengths Engine horsepower, and wide cutting deck.
Weaknesses I just turned 12 hours on my tractor yesterday. In those 12 hours I have had the tractor back to the shop 3 times. There is a tensioner spring that keeps coming off of the drive, so it won't go forward, or back. Cub Cadet does not want to hear from the end consumer, all of the numbers for them are automated, and will only refer you to a dealer. The dealer keeps saying the problem is with Cub Cadet. At this point I just want to get my money back.
Overall I should have bought a John Deere!!!!
