does this model have power steering? my husband has had a stroke & has difficulty turing the wheel on our cub cadet that we have now
Cindy 
from Missouri 
May 14, 2016
Answer
Cindy - sorry, but none of the riding mowers that we sell are equipped with power steering.
+−
Is this mower assembled and ready to start.
Howard  
from Alabama 
May 14, 2016
Answer
Howard - all of the riding mowers we sell are shipped in the original factory crating, and would require some degree of minor set-up before you could use it.
+−
Does this machine have cruise control and now in reverse?
Cathy 
from Mississippi 
May 11, 2016
Answer
Cathy - yes, the Cub Cadet LT42 lawn tractor does have cruise control. This tractor will also mow in reverse, but you will need to activate an override on the ignition switch (where the key goes in) each time you wish to mow in reverse.

What's the difference between the LT and the LX?
Rick 
from Ohio 
March 18, 2016
Answer
Rick,
The only differences between these models would be that the LX tractors will have arm rests and a front bumper. Aside from these features, the LT and LX units will perform and operate the same.

Is this Kohler a twin?
Tom 
from Wisconsin 
May 04, 2015
Answer
Tom - the 18HP Kohler engine on the Cub LT42 tractor is a single cylinder engine, not a V-Twin.
+−
Is this also made with an 18 hp Kawasaki engine?
James Dunsirn 
from Wisconsin 
January 13, 2015
Answer
James - the new Cub Cadet LT42 tractor is not available with a Kawasaki engine. None of the new LT series Cub Cadet tractors have Kawasaki engines. They are all powered by Kohler engines.
