Has been a good strong running mower for me. I have gotten atleast 4 years of use out of it and When I say that I don't mean just me. Friends borrow it and use it to.
Weaknesses having trouble finding the parts. The engine is a briggs but I can't seem to easily find the parts online. The handle grip design.
Overall Great lawn mower and I would buy another. Although I did get this one for free from my nighbors who only had it a short time. They couldn't start it and come to find out it was only because the had like a vehicle spark plug in it. about $5.00 later and I had a great mower.

Strengths PPowerful motor - even if you cannot adjust the throttle.. Does not get choked on grass. Easy to turn.
Weaknesses Head gasket cracked. Known flaw. Mine lasted 3 years which was a comparative miracle. Cost me $100 to fix a known problem. Metal on plastic overall bad design. Cannot adjust throttle down.
Overall Will not buy another Cub Cadet. Overall design bad. Powerful engine in a cheap shell.

Strengths Noen
Weaknesses Blown head gasklet year 1 under warranty, broken handles year 2 $40.00, replace rear wheels year 3 $41.00, broken wheel adjuster year 3 will not fix. Clutch has never properly disengaged. This is the worst mower I have ever had. $459.00 of pure crap. I will never buy anything from MTD, who is the manufacturer of CC. Very dissatisfied buyer.

Strengths Cuts and mulches OK when it is running.
Weaknesses After a year and one half of use the mower blew the head gasket. After it was repaired under warranty it was not only difficult to pull the starting cord it would also kick and almost rip your arm off. Moreover, nuts and bolts were constantly falling off while mowing.
Overall After paying $500 I thought this machine was a good investment. However, it turned out to be junk. I just bought a new TORO to replace it for $350.

Implements :
Purchased From : Tractor Supply
Strengths NONE - looks goood maybe
Weaknesses EVERY SINGLE compenent on the tractor is GARBAGE - 106 hours on a 2900 tractor and I have to toss it - The dash panel is 1/8 inch thick plastic - the steering shaft goes thrugh the dash panel with no bushing - no gromet - nothing - Metal on plastic - worde the hole oblong and now the steering gear strips in a couple of months.
Overall Piss poor design - a total piece of garbage with no parts availability. Three grand wasted - CUB CADET should re -badge their tractors MTD - their other line - TOTAL JUNK - my 900 hours John Deere is still going strong. CUB CADET IS PATHETIC
