Cub Cadet LT46 (46") 22HP Kohler Lawn Tractor

I am NOT a 'small engine mechanic' or even very mechanically inclined so I cannot give a very 'technical' review but...I've been using an old rear engine riding mower the last 8 years, so of course this was a huge upgrade but, it really exceeded my expectations. The mower was fully assembled and crated expertly. I just added some gas and it cranked right up. It was easy to get off the pallet by just pulling out the trans disengage lever and pushing it off slowly.

The engine is powerful and it's very easy to operate, runs fairly quite, it's smooth riding, and has a small turn radius. The steering is great, the seat has a high back and is comfortable. This is a sweet mower. The only thing I don't really care for is the 'mow in reverse' feature that requires you to turn the key back to a reverse setting, and then pushing a rubberized warning button and waiting a second for a red light or you can disengage the blades and push the 'reverse' accelerator and then engage the blades again to resume mowing.

Mowers Direct was an awesome shopping experience. It was easy to navigate and compare mowers and reviews. They even had some financing options. The shipping was easier than expected and the lift service was worth it because of where I live. SAIA, the transport company that delivered my mower, communicated very well with me and it was easy to set up a delivery time. They even arranged a smaller truck that would fit my driveway entrance. The driver was helpful and pleasant and also very accommodating. A VERY VERY GOOD experience and an awesome Cub Cadet mower.

This mower is easy to start, easy to use, and worth every penny so far. Mowers Direct was fast to ship it, it was packed well, and the shipping company folks were also very nice. It couldn't have been a better experience getting it to the house.

Mowers Direct had the cheapest price on the mower, even if it was just by a dollar. I did buy the bagger from home depot because that was cheaper there, but it's also a great addition.

As with my cub cadet push mower it seems to blow leaves to the right, even with the bag attached so I run in a circle such that the right side of the mower is facing inward. With each the area or leaves tightens and with a few extra passes at the end everything is cleaned up nicely.

Mowing this lawn would take me about two hours before. 40 minutes of raking would clear maybe a quarter or one third of the yard depending how bad it was. In 40 minutes I had the entire thing more or less cleaned up with this tractor and I didn't break a sweat at all. It is a very welcome addition.

I chose this model because it had a Kohler motor to cut about 2 acres of grass. It was ready to go right out of the box.
I came close to buying the next size up for another $200 but eventually decided that this was enough tractor for the job.
This is a nice little mower and I like the fact that the piston liners are cast iron.

I have three lots. Been mowing with a 21" push mower. Took about five hours to now. Now with my Cub Cadet ONE HOUR TEN MINUTES. To me that is AMAZING!

Powerful and simple to use. My wife says it's the easiest mower to operate that she has ever used. Starts instantly, runs very smoothly and does a great job on the lawn. We mow approximately 1-1/2 acres and can finish in about an hour.
Note * mower was delivered with TOO MUCH engine oil and within the first 15 minutes of operation, I had about 1/2 quart of engine oil all over the engine, deck and my feet. I was quite displeased with this situation and want to feed back to the supplier.

I have two acres to mow and maintain. The cub with its hydro-static transmission is fast and very controllable, makes it easy to go slow in rough areas and speed up in the smooth areas all by foot controls. Also has ignition key setting which allows the operator to mow wile backing up.

This mower has cut mowing time by 30% when compared to 60 inch brush hog finishing mower pulled with Mahendra tractor. I have had the Cub Cadet for almost three months and have mowed my property three times and the Cub has performed flawlessly. Makes a very clean cut.

Do your research, I almost bought a John Deere d130 and read too many bad reviews about it glad I didn't. The cub cadet has exceeded my expectations it arrived on a crate and packaged well. After getting it uncrated I added gas to it and cranked right up. The 22hp Kohler is quiet and very powerful. I have 10 hours on it and it cuts great so far I have no complaints. If you're thinking about getting this unit don't hesitate to buy it.

First off, let's start with Mowers Direct. What an easy-to-navigate website, with simple formatting and easy to read unbiased reviews. The purchasing options are great, and certainly appreciated! The delivery of my LT46 was nothing short of flawless. The crate, packaging, and weather protection were just as I hoped for, with a brand spankin new Cub Cadet underneath the wooden skeletal system.

Now for the tractor! I absolutely love this machine! I have quite steep incline prone property to mow. Mowing it with my past 'rider' was a nightmare. This machine can handle the downward of the property, with ease. The transmission really keeps this thing in check as it fine cuts it's way down. There isn't any need to brake or feeling of control loss as I make my way to the bottom. Uphill is strong and reliable with zero slippage. It makes a superb cut with nary a blade missed. The steering is tighter than my last mower which helps getting around the trees and shrubs, and lessens the need for getting out the weed eater. All-in-all this (as I was told) is the Cadillac of riders. I can't agree more. I mow more often now, and feel comfortable and confident in the power this machine provides. Starting is fast! Mowing is fast! Grabbing a cold one after a days worth of work, even faster, thanks to my new Cub Cadet! If you're on the fence about this machine, get off and get to cuttin! It's just that simple.

Love it so far! We have only had it a week, but it seems to be great.

Bought this to handle 3 acres on a newly acquired property, which had been bush hogged. I cut this once a month, so it is high each time I cut, and there are a couple of very good slopes. Machine handles it, frankly am using it to the limit, but it has not failed me yet. Really like the reverse mow feature that you can leave on, not have to mess with every time you want to back up.

Did a lot of checking to see who had liked or disliked this tractor, and I checked on brands and value. Cub Cadet came up as what I needed for mowing a good size lot.

My daughter and husband want to add the plow for the winter snow. This is in Pleasant Vally N.Y. It snows, the driveway is long, and you need to plow it.
