Weaknesses This is my first cub cadet. My grandfather had one so I thought it had a good reputation, but I must agree that this model is not what I expected.
The battery goes dead every few months. (It seems to suck the life out of every battery I buy. Every three years I need to replace all the belts. Finally, I agree with the other reviewers it doesn't cut very well. I admit I have a rought and hilly yard, but it always looks like a bad haircut. When you take a turn the mowing deck never stays level (I have adjusted it several times). I leaves terrible high spots.
I bought it at LOwes and the sales person promised they would have parts in the future. Well the next year they dropped carrying cub cadets and I have a terrible time finding belts.
Overall Overally, I would think twice about buying another cub cadet. Its not my grandfathers lawn mower, and I waiting for something big to break so I can get something different.

Strengths It is pretty until the paint flakes off.
Weaknesses If you can think of it, it is weak.
Overall Waste of money. Think the manager of the service department, Bill at 330-225-2600 Ext. 7295 is completely nuts. Must be related to the owner of the company or something because I can't figure out any other reason why he should be permitted to speak with anyone, let alone customers.

Weaknesses Everytime you move the pedal to reverse the mower shuts off. I understand that they're a newer model that has a by pass on the key switch. (Which I had bought that model.
Overall Not a bad unit. About average. Probably wouldn't fight you if you tried to buy it from me.

Strengths Good strong enhine. Smooth Hydrostatic Transmission. Comfortable to ride.
Weaknesses Can't get the mower deck to cut evenly. Leaves grass standing (as if the blades aren't sharp) but it has brand new blades. Gouges grass when turning. Nothing seems to make a difference. Adjusted the deck like the manufacture says to do but the same thing keeps happening.
Overall Nice mower, reliable, just wish the damned thing would cut evenly..

Strengths Mows well even in very high grass. 18.5 hp motor equal to mowing tall grass up steep banks. Does not leave unmowed strip down middle when cutting very tall grass. I mow 5 acres and this is the best mower I have owned. Consumes very little gas.
Weaknesses I am short and the drive pedal is hard to operate. If you move seat forward enough to reach the pedals it rocks easily and shuts off the blades. Need a drive pedal extension!
Overall Had to replace belts after 2 years and found previous owner had replaced with inferior (much narrower and thinner) belts. Replaced with OEM belts and works just fine.
