Cub Cadet 5252 Reviews
Review By : Kim on 11/2/2009
Price Paid : $0.00
Years of Use : 1-year
Implements : Loader, 52" mower, Tiller
Purchased From : Lafleche
Strengths Couldn't offer one
Weaknesses Too many aluminum parts that keep breaking. I owned for one year and put on 66 hours, it spent a taol time of 2 months getting repaired, and waiting for parts. I have a loader and was warned by another dealer that the front end is not strong enough and I will be replacing it. I wanted to return it to the dealer/company but nobady wants anything to do with it. It has been sitting at teh dealer's for teh last year hoping he will re-sell it - yea, right!
Overall Wouldn't touch another Cub Cadet of any type!

Review By : Anonymous on 08/26/2007
Price Paid : $7,400.00
Years of Use : 1-2 Years Use
Implements : 60" deck
Purchased From : Dealer in Webster, NY
Strengths Ease of use, runs and drives well.
Weaknesses No Cruise control. Deck blade bearing assembly ripped itself out of the deck in the first season. Rear fender cracked and bent H/L control arm, both repairs made under warranty. Mouse built nest in engine around spark plug, engine overheated and ruined. Trading in for Kubota, will not buy another Cub anything ever again.
Overall Cheap tractor, handles not mounted securely and were dangerous. If used as light duty mower then probably fine, not meant for supporting a 10 acre estate with lots of needs.

Strengths Strong engine and hydraulics. Great mower. Excellent ergonomics.
Weaknesses Parts availability is not what it could be, but this hasn't been a significant problem for me.
Overall Great tractor for the money. It can do virtually anything other tractors costing 5000 more can do. Its a tank.

Review By : Bill on 04/07/2006
Price Paid : $8,800.00
Years of Use : 2+ Years
Implements : FEL, 60"MMM, Tiller, Rear Blade
Purchased From : Virginia Dealer
Strengths Very economical to buy. Relatively durable, no major mechanical problems. Most problems encountered were due to initial dealer assembly. Strong and comfortable for its size.
Weaknesses Poor support network. Parts for this model tractor seem almost never to be in stock including things like mower blades. Not all Cub dealers are carrying or supporting this model.
Overall Cub has a lot of potential but the pitiful support would lead me to purchase a different model in the future.

Strengths I like the way the tractor rides.It has a very good turning radius.It seems to have plenty of power with the 60" deck.
Weaknesses I have had this tractor back to the shop for hydraulic problems 3 times.It keeps breaking hydraulic hoses.
Overall I like the way it cuts but I'm tired of taking this tractor back to the shop.I'd like to know if anyone else has had the same problem.
