Cub cadet
Bought it a month ago and I had to find bolts for the ones that were missing and had to go to the store twice to finally get missing part off another new mower

I call it my Cadillac
I bought this knowing it would be a great mower. My wife used it first and she thinks it's great, like driving a car. I fully expect to have years and years of mowing with this mower.

My 42” cub
I got this about 4 months ago. I cut an acer lot mostly flat. It cuts very well. I found out that the blade deck was lower than that I set it to on the adjuster. Read the manual on how to level the deck. After that I had no issues. The only thing is that the manual paper is very thin and easy to get torn up. I really like the mower. I would recommend this to everyone that has a lot of grass and the price is good.

LOVE my XT1 LT42!
I purchased the XT1 LT42 a few weeks ago and so far I LOVE it! This is my first Cub Cadet and as long as it continues to work like it does now, I'll never own anything else but a Cadet! I also purchased the bagger for it. LOVE that thing too!
I'd recommend the mower and bagger to anyone! At this point, I couldn't be happier. I'm a yard person so my yard is manicured...the one thing I did do was I leveled the mowing deck with the front bolt and my yard looks AMAZING.

Deck spindle bearing froze!
I bought this as the seventh lawn tractor, and expected it to last. It's just over three years old. The engine blew on my last one! The tractor is fine, but the bearing on the deck spindle of the mowing deck - completely fused and failed yesterday while cutting the lawn. I'm 75 years old, and have had at least six lawn tractors over the years of different brands. This is my first Cub Cadet.
I wrote them and am waiting to see if the company will quickly send me a new deck spindle fee of charge, as my grass needs cut NOW! I've never had a deck on any of the others where a bearing failed?

Very Disappointed
First off, I'm not a person that leaves reviews, good or bad. But my disappointment with this mower pushed me over the edge, so here it is. I bought my mower at Home Depot in March of this year and started using it in April. I really wanted to like this mower, but it's been a giant let down. For starters it's lacking the power that it advertised. I'm cutting average length grass with the blades as high as they go and it's constantly bogging down and sounds like it's going to die and leaving large grass clumps everywhere. The blades were like 2 butter knives after only 8 hrs of use. I took them off and sharpened them, I understand that's how it goes but 8 hrs seemed pretty quick. Every time I cut the yard it looks like I just mowed a hay field, again average length with blades all the way up. Bought a mulching kit thinking that would help, but it's the same end result. Basically I paid a good deal of money to have my yard look like terrible on a weekly basis. I'm extremely frustrated with the performance of this mower. I'll ride it out until winter, list it on the neighborhood list serve and buy something else next year. I bought it at the recommendation of a friend, maybe mine's just a lemon. I know there's plenty of great reviews on it, and I really wish mine could be one of them too. It's a solid mower, starts up every time, just won't cut well.

Best lawn tractor I've ever owned
I really love mowing with this tractor. I get done in 3/4 of the time with the hydro drive and cruise, and it's much more comfortable with the higher back seat. I can mow at higher speed with the larger Kohler 18 hp engine. The quality of cut is very good with the mulch kit.
My one kvetch is that Home Depot did not have the product set up properly for delivery. When I installed the mulch kit, I found they had the standard blades installed wrong side up. They also had more than twice the correct psi in all the tires. I'm glad I checked everything myself before using the product. It started instantly the first time when I put a little gas in it to drive it up on my trailer and take it home.
