Not my favorite.
At far as design goes, half I lean towards my 12 yo DYT 4000. Pros of this Cub Cadet are: Ease to remove three pins to take the deck off. Cool looking. The deck shoot does spread the cut grass evenly.
Cons: Have had this machine for two weeks and have yet to completely mow the whole yard with two attempts. Belt came off the PTO. Bent blades. Maybe my bad, but then again, should they be better protected?
I'm sure it's a government regulation, but the addition of turning on the reverse while mowing light in addition to turning back the switch is a pain. The seat doesn't seem to be full and when repositioning myself, the blades stop, but the tractor keeps running. Have to back up and restart the blades to cover what was driven over. PTO switch isn't in an ideal location for a quick shut off (E-stop). Headlights are always on. LED is cool, but a wider pattern for turns would be nice. Maybe what I'm used to, but I would rather have the battery under the hood and a larger tank under the seat. Also would rather have a better designed foot drive control system or just a fender control without having to lock the speed in place. Also a safety hazard as you have to either speed up or tap the brake to unlock the speed setting. Trying reverse or lifting the speed lock doesn't work - ooops. Also a hard stop when taking the speed lock off. Also not crazy about the plastic hood. The cool looking yellow color attracts those summer gnats in my area. The cream colored wheels now seem dorky.
You may buy a similar tractor under a different brand and price. To me, Cub Cadet was a farmer's mowing machine. It's been awhile, but it has lost that tough tractor attitude and high quality of several decades ago. Go to an antique tractor show. Look at the old Cub Cadets.
On the second attempt to mow, I got a little used to the foot speed control as a constant control. It's not meant to be a toggle as I would hope for. The

First tractor, very pleased
This is the first tractor I have ever owned, I read reviews on a lot of brands and decided on the RTX46. I have been very pleased so far. Cuts great, very easy to work on, (maintenance), and my grandsons have a blast riding with me. I purchased from Cub Cadet dealer in Yorktown, Va. and received the best service ever. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic purchase
I had no idea how much lawn tractors had changed from my Craftsman LT2000 I've had for about 14 years. Night and day. I went from a 42" deck with 17hp to a 46" deck with 24hp. I mow about 1-1/2 uneven acres and the comfort and time saved are tremendous. Because of the wet weather in Maine and New England for the last month, I went without mowing for about 2 weeks. The extra 7 hp is worth the money alone. It never once bogged down or for that matter even slowed down in high wet grass. It was amazing. I've had the mower about a month and half and I obviously can't comment on the long term, but I fully expect it to perform as well given what seems to be a high build quality. I'm more than pleased with my purchase.

Great mower
After 30 years of Snapper rear engine mowers it was time for a change. Bought the XT2 LX46 in July and love it. The Kohler engine is smooth and quiet.
The steering response is amazing. Although the mower is quick and responsive it does have a bit of a rough bouncy ride. My 14 year old granddaughter was helping
in the yard last week and it bounced her around enough to disengage the blade a couple of times.
As far as accessories, I purchased the bagger and mulching blade because I have so many leaves in the fall. The mulching blade does such a good job I haven't needed to use the bagger.
The cons, needs sealed headlights. Love the led but they get dusty on the inside. Also needs a headlight switch.
The pros, quiet engine, responsive steering, great cut, and fun to ride. Wish my yard was larger so I could spend more time on it.

Sleek and game changing design
After dealing with old second hand tractors my wife and I decided to buy a brand new tractor. For the money, the XT2 LX46 has the best balance of features that I could find. Ours has the Kohler 24 hp engine and stamped standard deck. Features which influenced my decision were the modern styling (it is a smart looking mower), high hp engine, and electric PTO. I didn't need a 46" deck, a 42 would have been fine but So far I am glad I chose to get the electric PTO and don't mind the larger deck. Just looking at the tires they do look better quality than the XT1. The steering on this tractor is really reason enough to choose an XT series. I don't know whom engineered it but it's phenomenal, with an even effort at any steering angle.
If I had a few nit picks it would be the rough ride and the seat frame. I am 165 lbs soaking wet and the seat mounting just feels flimsy, really flimsy. I suppose this is better than having the body tub crack at the mounting holes to have the seat frame flex a bit. I think it contributes to the rough ride though, things get bouncy fast.

Excellent Mower
I looked at riding mowers for a couple of years as my Simplicity aged. I went from the XT1-42 to the XT2-42 and finally to the XT2-46. It is fast and does an outstanding job of cutting. I went to the XT2-46 to take advantage of the better bearings drive system and electric PTO. I first hesitated based upon a long past experience with MTD but have discovered the product to be excellent.

This is a nice machine! Does everything great!
Bought the XT 2 LX46 in June of 2015. Has a 21.5hp Kawasaki engine. Have 1.5 acres to mow, gradual slopes, otherwise flat. Cuts and rides beautifully. Live in one of the snow capitals of world Munising, Michigan, so I purchased the snow blower attachment. First time out, I got into 8" of heavy wet snow, did a great job and it really threw the snow, shouldn't have to worry about banks this year.I got greedy and went too fast , heard the belt driving the blower squeal. My advice just take it slow and let it chew. It'll take on just about anything. So far this a beast, hope it lasts.
