I’ve used this for about a month now. Love the look and it’s performance so far. I have about an acre with some obstacles. It’s much faster than my old JD conventional rider. The reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because cub cadet doesn’t include the hour meter. I had to buy one from their site. Very easy to install but just a little annoying that it’s not included.

Okay I just bought the best mower ever and now I’m really enjoy cutting grass. It’s fast and easy to use.

Learning to drive it took about 5 minutes. My lawn has never looked better!
by James
Hard to review because I have not had it very long; I have only cut about 1/4 of an acre. I have no complaints with anything. Ordered online, was ready to run when I pick it up. Cranked right up and cut great. I would recommend this to others.
by Reggie
Extremely satisfied with my purchase. This is the best zero turn I have used. So easy to handle and my yard looks great!
by Tina
Super satisfied with this mower ! That Kawasaki motor runs smooth and has plenty of power . This thing is a mowing machine ! Just wish it had an hour meter on it. That sure would make it easier to keep track of oil change time.
by Ricardo
So far no issues. Engine is powerful and blades cut evenly. I mow 2 acres every week and as I said, no issues so far. Good machine.
