Q: Is the Cub Cadet CC760ES ready to use when delivered ? Blade sharpening not necessary, just add gas and go? by Joe M. from North Carolina on July 04, 2016
A: Joe,
When this unit is delivered there will be minor set up that will need to be done. You will need to remove the shipping brace, unfold the handle, attach the shift lever, attach the negative battery cable, and then add the gas and oil to proper levels. You will not need to sharpen the blade upon delivery as this will have already been done. by Jose, Product Expert
Q: Can the forward speed be changed without stopping, i.e. is it like a snow blower transmission where you select the speed and stop to change speed? by John P from Minnesota on May 10, 2016
A: John - no, you cannot change speeds "on the fly". You must release the drive control lever (mounted on the left handle) before you change the speed of the mower up or down. Failing to do this could cause damage to the transmission of the mower. by Jose, Product Expert
Q: What is the maximum forward speed? by Mike G from Michigan on April 17, 2016
A: Mike - the max forward speed of the Cub Cadet CC760ES mower is approximately 4 mph. by Jose, Product Expert
Q: Can you use attachments that allow you to stand on it i think it called a sculy by Kenneth from Virginia on April 01, 2016
A: Kenneth - the Cub Cadet CC760ES is not compatible for use with a sulkie. by Jose, Product Expert
Q: Jose, How do you adjust the height of the blades? And it does have two blades, right? One lever or multiple levers? thanks Carmen by Carmen Cicalese from New Jersey on May 10, 2015
A: Carmen - there is a lever on the left side of the mower just in front of the left rear tire that you slide forward and back to adjust the cutting height of the mower deck. If you look closely at the image of this mower, you can see this lever just to the left side of the engine. And yes, this model has a twin blade mower deck. by Jose, Product Expert
Q: What's the minimum width my fence gate can be to fit the mower through? by Michael from New Jersey on April 09, 2015
A: Michael - the Cub Cadet CC760ES mower measures 36" wide with the side discharge chute cover in the "up" position, and 48" wide with the side discharge cover in the "down" position. by Jose, Product Expert
Q: Is the handle on this unit adjustable at all for varying heights of an operator? by Dave S. from Illinois on July 15, 2014
A: Dave - the handle height on the Cub Cadet CC760ES mower is adjustable. The upper handle is secured to two support bars that can be adjusted to raise or lower the handle height. Full instructions on how to adjust the handle height can be found on page 21 of the owners manual (which you can view in the "specs" tab on our web page). by Jose, Product Expert
Q: How does it turn. physically or with motor by Roger from Georgia on April 25, 2014
A: Roger - the Cub Cadet CC760ES mower does not have any type of steering assist system. The front swivel wheels will help turn and maneuver this mower more easily, but it will still be the operator who is supplying the movement to turn the mower. by Jose, Product Expert
Q: What company makes the engine on this mower? You give the cc's what is the horse power rating on this engine? by George Sluder from North Carolina on July 05, 2013
A: George - Cub Cadet still builds their own engines in their own factory. It's a Cub Cadet brand engine. There is no true conversion from cc's to HP, but a 420cc engine would be roughly equal to 12.5 HP. by Jose, Product Expert
Q: Does this mower have mulching capability? by Larry Riens from Nebraska on May 23, 2013
A: This mower does come with the ability to mulch and side discharge out of the box. There will be a baffle which comes with the mower. The bagger would be additional for this mower. by Jose, Product Expert
Q: Jose,
Looking at the Cub Cadet electric start walk behind model CC 760 ES.
DOES THIS HAVE BOTH ELECTRIC AND MANUAL START CAPABILITY? by Neil Hibler from Massachusetts on May 19, 2013
A: Neil - the Cub Cadet CC760ES does NOT have a recoil starter on the engine. This mower only has an electric start option. by Jose, Product Expert
Q: Can I connect a sulky to this mower?? by Kareem from New Jersey on May 09, 2013
A: Kareem - sorry, but this mower cannot be used with a sulky attachment. by Jose, Product Expert
Q: Can a sulky/velke be used with this mower...adequately. I weigh about 250lbs. Personal lawn use only. by Dean from Kentucky on April 21, 2013
A: Dean - the Cub Cadet wide area walk mowers are NOT set-up to be used with a sulky. by Jose, Product Expert
The Cub Cadet CC 760 ES wide area mower is one of the most popular models that Cub Cadet produces, and it's easy to see why once you use one. This mower combines lots of power and top-end performance.
The Cub Cadet CC 760 ES is powered by a 420cc Cub Cadet engine. This engine is equivalent to roughly 13HP (there is no true conversion from cc's to HP).

The convenient electric start feature makes the mower simple to start every time! The 33-inch steel cutting deck lets you mow about 50% more grass on each pass than a traditional walk behind mower, so the time savings is a BIG plus on this model. The easy-to-use single-lever height adjuster lets you choose the ideal cutting height in one easy step.
The Cub Cadet CC 760 ES wide area mower can cut all types of grass in all types of conditions. And the front swivel wheels will help you maneuver around trees, shrubs and other obstacles surprisingly easy considering the overall size of this mower.

Plenty Of Hp
Does a great job with grass. However, is lacking a bit when it comes to mulching leaves (or anything other than grass- comparing to a Snapper NINJA). The Snapper leaves no detectable "pieces" of debris i.e. leaves, rose petals, paper, etc. The Cub does leave quite noticeable remnants. Again though, it does a great job with grass.
It took me about four mowings to achieve the "knack" for smoothest mower operation.
Good product for the price since you jump much higher in price for the higher-tier models. Overall a good cut, it starts easy, has easy maintenance. Durability may be a problem, at least the decking and the belts.
Pros:Price, Easy To Use, Fast, Features
Cons:Low Quality

Know The Machines Limits, And Adopt - Or Move On.
I purchased this mower last spring, and wanted to give it a full year before providing feedback. Please note I'm a homeowner, and this mower is not used in a commercial application. Prior to owning / using this I had a Simplicity Pacer (if I could find another one I'd buy it in a heartbeat). That being said, the 760 ES is a compromise of a design. Yes it's belt driven. Yes, the depth of the deck is not deep at all (which leads to poor mulching performance. Yes the hand controls are non-standard, and will take time to get used to...
However, that does not make this a poor choice for a homeowner with an acre or less of land once you know the limitations. I do not mulch my grass -- it's discharged out the side 99% of the time. During the growing season twice a week, and I mow on the second highest setting as my rye/bluegrass mix prefers a high cut. It shreds the leaves in the fall, which I can blow to the side yard and use for compost. I have been able to reduce my mowing time from 90 minutes, to 45 or less depending on the amount of trimming needed. It starts everytime, provides a good cut (with nice striping), and should be able to provide a long service life.
Is it a Simplicity, Toro or eXmark? No. But for $1000, or cheaper used it's a decent bargain and provides a good fast cut that most homeowners upgrading from a push mower are looking for.

A Beast Of A Mower - Love It
I bought this new 2 weeks ago and have used it twice on my 0.4 acre yard. I used to mow this with a 21" Snapper and then graduated to a 4WD Husquarvana when the Snapper died after many years of service. Both would leave clumps of grass that I had to re-mow. I returned the Husquarvana because I got so irritated with the clumps it would leave. Both of these would take me 1 hour and 50 minutes to mow my yard plus a few more minutes to clear clumps. I kept putting off the big spend on a wide area walk behind - but finally took the plunge with the Cub Cadet. It now takes me less than an hour to mow my yard and I love this mower. I'll address the concerns I had before buying it...
1. Reviews that Said the Belts Jump Off: All I can say is that I have had no issues in my first two uses. Keep in mind that this is a lawn mower, not a field mower to clear brush. If you use it for the intended use, which is mowing a grass lawn, I wouldn't anticipate any issues.
2. Difficult to Mow Tight Places: I have some tight corners and lots of trees to maneuver around. The mower is definitely a heavy beast - but if you are a man with average strength - you should be fine. I was in fact pleasantly surprised with how tight I could actually mow against obstacles.
3. Review that said it leaves clumps: I hate clumps! While I have not used it as a mulcher, this mower has so much power that the grass clippings blowing out are spread out over a wide area - so I don't think there is a need to mulch. And the machine is so powerful, I can only imagine that the reviewer was trying to mulch grass that was too tall or too wet. This mower leaves a really nice, even cut with no clumps.
4. Too Big and Heavy: Could be... This is not a mower for a female or a male that does not have at least average to above average strength. It is a powerful beast.
5. Too Slow: I'm a fast walker. This mower allows me to walk at an average pace in 3rd speed and to speed-walk in 4th speed. 1st speed is a crawl and 2nd speed is really slow too - which you need at times for mowing around obstacles.
My only complaint about this mower is the handles/drive system. You have to squeeze down the lever on the right for blade power and squeeze down the lever on the left to engage drive. It is a tight squeeze and my hands are pretty tired after I finish mowing - engineers could have designed this better. But I hope and expect that over time they will loosen up a little as the cables stretch. Overall - this is a great mower and I am really, really glad I bought it. I give it a two thumbs up recommendation!

Drive Belt Issues
I had a problem with the drive belt coming off whenever torque was not applied to the belt. I found that adjusting the belt tensioner cable to a tighter mode corrected that issue. The belt no longer comes off while mowing. I use this mower commercially and have over 200 hrs on this machine. No other issues during this time
Pros:Easy To Use, Quiet, Price, Exceeded Expectations, Reliable, Easy To Store
Cons:Belt

The Best Wide Area Walk Behind Mower Available
I have waited a year before submitting this review, in order to have a full season worth of operating hours and experience to report on. I can now say this mower was a GREAT PURCHASE. I would buy it again, AND I highly recommend it to others as well.
I bought it to cut down the mowing time of my very hilly yard, of over a half acre. It has indeed seriously reduced my mowing time. We get incredible amounts of Spring-time rain where I live, and the grass gets very high and thick very quickly. This mower shrugs off high grass, basically "laughs at it", and yet leaves a beautiful finish cut to boot. And it performs under these "high load" conditions while in mulching mode, no less.
I especially like the appearance of the finish cut it leaves. It resembles professional lawn service results, including a "striped" appearance.
Durability is a big concern for me, and I like the construction of this machine. The frame is fabricated using robotic welders. Thus, all the welds are very substantial, straight as an arrow and uniform. The frame and deck are both constructed of heavy gauge metals (the deck is heavier gauge than those on some riding mowers).
To prevent rust, the unit is powder coated. Plus, the included jet spray wash port in the deck WILL extend deck life, if used regularly. If handled properly (avoid stumps, rocks etc.) and cleaned and maintained according to schedule, I FULLY expect to get 15 years of use from this mower.
I also want to comment on the adverse reviews. I have had NO problems with either the power drive belt or the blade drive belt jumping off (nor any other problems of any kind, such as cables).
On my unit, both the power drive belt and blade drive belt have "belt keepers" strategically located around them to prevent them jumping off. (On my unit, you literally can't remove the belts without first removing the belt keepers.) I am speculating that some bad reviews may be for units that shipped with one or more belt keepers missing.
My suggestion:
After you purchase this mower, regardless of whether you have a problem, find an Authorized Cub Cadet Dealer. In the unlikely event you do have an issue, they will be able to quickly diagnose and address it (belt keepers are cheap to purchase and install).
In addition, many dealers also offer off-season tune-up specials, where they will pick-up the mower at your house, take it to their shop and perform all annual/seasonal maintenance (oil, oil filter, spark plug, air filter, sharpen blades, clean/lubricate chassis, etc.) and return it to your doorstep ready for the next season, for a very reasonable price.
To sum up, I did extensive research before making this purchase, and frankly there's simply no Wide Area Walk Behind Mower out there for homeowners that comes close to the Cub Cadet (and the Troy-Bilt) in terms of power, durability, usability and value.
I HIGHLY recommend this mower.

Mows Great -- When It Starts
Bought one of these, made 3 passes and the drive belt came off. Local Cub Cadet dealer came out and fixed it. After they left -- resumed mowing and 1/2 a yard later, drive belt came off again.
Local dealer brought out a new mower and took the 1st one back. Could not ask for more. Except for the fact that on 2nd use, the drive belt came off this mower too.
Called Cub Cadet -- little to no help on the topic. Act like I am the only one with this problem -- read the other reviews and you will see it is not just me.

Lots Of Belt Trouble
I have been extremely frustrated with the drive belt on this mower. I used the mower twice, it threw the belt off four times! Calling the tech people at Cub Cadet was also frustrating as I was told to just follow the manual --they did not seem to realize that this mower has three (3!!) belts, not just two! We finally took it to a shop that repairs Cub Cadets --he also got the same run around with the Cub techs -- he was told this mower only has two belts BUT there are three --the deck engagement, timing AND drive belt. I received this mower on May 8th, used it twice and it has been in the shop since then. It has plenty of power and IF we can keep the drive belt from throwing off, it may be a good mower. We will see. BUT I would not recommend this mower unless you are ready to deal with this belt issue, which not only is difficult to access, but the Cub techs are unaware of this particular belt . I feel the manual is incomplete as it does not show this drive belt, where it goes or how to replace it .THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED!! I have been thinking of returning this mower, but since it was ordered on-line, and we live in the sandhills of Nebraska it would be hard for us to do.

More Than I Expected....
I bought this mower going on 3 years ago.... I use it on 5 commercial accounts, my yard and two more residentials. It has treated me well. Only problems have been when I hit a water meter cover, I knocked the blades out of sync and broke the belt. I replaced it and it has been fine since. This has been my workhorse mower. I would get another.
