Strengths I love this thing. I have had JD for many years and always had the turning radius of a Mack Truck! Now I can go around my trees with ease.

Weaknesses Mowing in wet grass up to my knees after vacation I broke a belt. Replaced with OEM belt and no more problems. I have made this mistake before, it may even happen again.

Overall Great tractor, great value, great dealer! Belt was 44.99 he gave me 10% off!

Strengths Bought lawnmower on 4/8/09 have 9.1 hours of use on engine. Cut on deck is great love turning radius great ride for money spent.

Weaknesses With 9.1 hours of use pto belt broke. Was cutting on a sunday could not find a replacment belt called dealer on monday was told belt was not warranty. Is a wear item. Only has a 30 warranty. Belt broke on 8/16/09

Overall Not pleased with belt broke. Unable to contact cubcadet and talk with anybody for help.No help from dealer when even purchased from dealer and had to buy aftermarket belt.

Strengths The cut is very clean and even. The adjustable seat is a plus. The turning radius is excellent. It also sits low enough for hills.

Weaknesses The engine is noisier than the Briggs on my toro but has much more hp. The grass blows out from under the deck. Why not a switch to turn off the headlight.

Overall So far I like it it cuts well a decent speed. Comfortable and easy to mow around things
