Strengths Zero turn a definite plus with trees, obstacles in the yard. Saves a lot of time.
Weaknesses Mowing deck belt/pulley system is bad. Main spring holding the tension on the pulleys for the blade drive belt (only one belt on this model) keeps popping off causing the belt jump off the pulleys (from vibration I assume) sometimes ruining the belt. I have had to replace this spring three times already to keep the tension tight enough to keep the spring on. I have had to replace the belt twice.
Overall Very nice tractor other than the bad design of the mowing deck blade drive system. Had no problems with mower until after the first year of use.

Strengths I purchased mower from Home Depot with 9 hrs. on it. Took home started mowing lawn and engine started blowing white smoke out exhaust. Still doing today. Used it about four times on a smooth level yard. Turned right and something poped in front end. The front wheels point both in different directions. Could not back up or go forward. Took cover off upper control arm and steering gear broke. I am going to load mower up and take back to get refund. Had my Honda rider for 20 years and never any problems with it. The cub cadet is NO Honda riding mower. I am going to put my old mower back in service. News ones are junk.

Price Paid : $1,150.00
Years of Use : New Owner (0-1 Year)
Implements : aerator, spreader
Purchased From : Home Depot
Strengths It was a customer bring-back. Marked down from $2999. It had 3.6 hours on it. I really got lucky on this one. It runs very strong. It cranks on the coldest day. Is comfortable, and easy to use. I like it quite a lot, and, would highly recommend it.
Weaknesses None that I know of. I don't know why they don't make the transmissions so that they have a filter and drain plug on them. This is true for most lawn tractors that are hydro and made today.
Overall Remember, it is a mower, not a garden tractor. Don't try to move earth or do heavy work with it.

Strengths Zero-turn, Cuts great, bagger works great, cuts mowing time almost in half.
Weaknesses No cruise control
Overall Have put 15 hrs on it and it's the best I've owned. Being a zero-turn tractor is the best. I actually look forward to mowing the lawn! Could not go back to a traditional lawn tractor!
