Cub Cadet LT50 (50") 24HP Kohler Lawn Tractor

I bought mine at Home Depot but wish I had bought it here. Everything else I need will be bought from here. I have recently bought the bagger system and a snow blower from these guys and I'm shopping for a generator for my new house. The price and service has been excellent.

Only issue with this tractor is that the mow deck may be uneven on a hill that requires a shift in weight distribution when you turn but it is solved by mowing at 2-1/2 that sets all support wheels on the ground.

I also have learned that goat head weeds aka Puncturevine are evil and will pop your tires quickly and easily. I have since learned to plug holes in tires.

This tractor is easy to operate and reliable. I've had mine 4 months. Still I believe it was the best choice and if you check consumer reports, it rates very well. Also be sure to check Youtube videos on it as well.

Great mower so far. Used it twice and it performed perfectly.

I bought this to replace an 11 year old Cub Cadet of the same model. The quality exceeded my expectations from my older model. Steering is remarkably easy and feels like power steering even though it's not.

Bought this for my wife, loves gardening. Great value, no hassles, delivered as agreed, easy to uncrate, basically put together, started without a hitch!! Great turning radius, nice power, awesome cut!!

Our property has a slope and is also rolling - with smaller wheel base I find it a challenge but my spouse has no problem due to her smaller frame.

I have bragged about my experience! People cant believe I bought this online and with my experience... also read the owners manual... many reviews had some minor issues, but we experienced none!!!

I like the unit. Steering is great. The ease of lifting the deck is nice. It dose a good job mowing. Rear tires are too small, so the ride is pretty rough. No lawn mower or garden tractor should have anything smaller than a 23" or bigger tire on the rear to go over all the small holes in your yard.

I don't like having headlights on to mow in reverse. Sometimes companies over-think safety. I've been a mechanic for 42 years. They try to take the common sense away from the people who drive these cars, trucks, mowers and all kinds of equipment. Whatever to keep it simple stupid (KISS). Other than rough ride, it's great.

I purchased this mower 04/2015. The deck belt jumped off the first day I cut grass. The tensioner on the deck was bad from the factory. After taking the mower to the service center and waiting a week or so the mower was fixed. It lasted the rest of the season. This year I've cut grass once and the transmission went out. The transmission is on back order.

Cub, Shame on you for selling a product with a warranty you can't back! Cub Cadet needs to improve on quality control and warranty services. $2000 for a mower plus $600 in lost wages taking time out of work to transport this P.O.S. to and from service centers and I still can't cut grass!!! Cub, If you can't provide parts in a timely manner you should replace my mower!!!!!

I only have 2 hours on this mower since just received 3 days ago, but I'm very impressed. It is a very comfortable and down right a luxurious mower to sit on. The turning radius is great for a tractor and the power of the 24 HP engine is definitely noticeable with cutting my thick lawn. I have some small hills and my backyard and pasture are sloped and this mower doesn't miss a beat. I compared this with the Husqvarna 48" and John Deere D140, and really all are very similar with features at the same price point, but this mower edges them out with the 50" deck and quality seat, steering wheel, and multiple cup holders. Mowers Direct shipped it on Monday and by Friday evening I was mowing my yard. Just make sure you let some air out of the tires before using it, as they come with 2x the psi recommend due to shipping. You won't regret buying this one!

After retiring my 10 yr old 18hp clutch type tractor mower and doing some research then giving this Cub Cadet a try I'd have to say it exceeds my expectations. Mowing is a whole new experience, a pretty good one. Love the hydrostatic and the smooth ride and power it has to zip effortlessly up some tricky inclines on my property, but best of all are two things: one, it mulches and spreads the cut grass exceptionally well so I don't get the clumpy stripes I used to, and two, it doesn't leave obvious tire grooves. The finished lawn looks even, almost like velvet. I'm extremely happy with this mower.

Smooth riding even cutting, quite, fast and handles my inclines and hills with ease. Great machine. Jose was right. PED delivered as advertised.

I chose Cub Cadet for its reputation for reliability and longevity. What a mistake. I have a 2015 XT1 50" which I purchased from Home Depot (a mistake in itself, but not part of this review.) To be fair, the mower runs well, cuts well, is reasonably comfortable and has enough power to handle the terrain of our 0.75 acre lawn.

HOWEVER, I haven't been able to use it for five weeks now. It is sitting at the local authorized dealer, awaiting a new transmission, which is not expected from Cub Cadet for another two to three weeks! It will miss half the mowing season. The mower has 61 hours on it, and the transmission has failed completely. That's a sealed unit, no maintenance possible. It should last 1,000 hours of just mowing, which is how it's been used. ONE season, and it's dead. That is beyond unacceptable, especially since Cub Cadet can't be bothered to get parts to the dealer. The new transmission was ordered the first of July, and MAY be delivered to the dealer by the end of July. Surely they make transmissions every day, and warranty replacement should be a high priority. But it's clear where customers rate for Cub Cadet.

We will be selling this machine once it's running again. I am very disappointed that it broke so early, but had they managed to get it fixed timely they might have saved me as a customer. With their "who cares" attitude, I am lost forever and will be sure to share my story as far as I can, on sites like this and other social media.

horrible I expected a much nicer mower than I got. I was shocked that it was basically plastic, I did not know that cub cadet had lowered their standards so dramatically. This was my third cub cadet and I was disappointed. I have already went to my local dealership and got me a real cub cadet. I will never order online again, you can't see how shoddy the product is if not in person.

I called customer service and the person argued with me about my concerns. I know more about lawnmowers than the person I spoke to, hydrostatic term is used more to confuse the average consumer. As you can read I am not a returning customer.
