Cub Cadet LT42 (42") 18HP Kohler Lawn Tractor

We've had two other brands of riding mowers and this cub cadet has two real great features that neither of the others had. One great feature is the forward control and reverse on the right foot pedal instead of a stick. I've been raked off many times from low hanging limbs with my hand forward control because I was steering with my hand which is sorta essential. Another good feature is the small wheels on the deck that float across the lawn preventing scalping and streaks.
It's still new but we really like it a lot and tons of power.

We compared all the available riding lawn mowers and this one seemed to meet our needs the best for the price. Had a cub cadet years ago and it lasted a very long time so we felt we had a good idea of what to expect. We are very happy with it. Cuts evenly, has a nice turn radius and is a smooth ride. The 42" cutting width makes mowing much faster. We also purchased the mulching blades and the double-bragger which we have already used. We were not sure what to expect from an online purchase of this size but it was a very smooth process, no hitches or problems at all.

Very solid. Great quality. Very good mechanics. Great cut and easy to make adjustments when needed. Plenty of power. The hydrostatic drive is a real time saver. Two thumbs up. Well done!

This tractor has everything I needed: power, sliding seat, wide back tires,42" deck, forward & backward speeds - it has everything you need. It even lets you spray water for under the deck cleaning!!!

WOW!!! It has an LCD meter that tells you when to change oil. It has an oil filter, air filter, powerful battery and an alert when your battery is low. Awesome mower for the price, folks. Enjoy!

Price was cheaper than lowes. Ordered online even used the affrim financing delivered without issue. Just add gas and go.

Good grass mowing machine right out of the crate. Nothing to assemble, dump some gas into it, hook up the battery and you're off! If mowing the grass is all you are concerned with then this 18 horse Kohler appears to fit the bill. I can't see why, with proper maintenance, this rig shouldn't be mowing the dandelions 10 years from now. Ultimately you be the judge and buy based on your needs. I feel I have the right machine resting in my garage.

Cuts grass like a beast, my ONLY complaint is the attachment for bagger isn't of the highest quality. It had an air leak and leaves and grass dust flew. No problem I just put a self tapping screw in there and it's fine. I love this thing!

Cub did a great job on these! Simple to use, runs smoothly, and powerfully. Transmission has great power, and is very smooth. Steering is easy, and best of all, it mows great. You wont find a better mower for the money.

This mower was delivered carefully crated and ready to go. It started without hesitation and functions perfectly. Steering is light and tight. My only issue is its sensitivity. It has a tendency to launch if care isn't exercised and throttle speed is too high when brake is disengaged. This is not unique to this or other tractors, but note worthy. Overall quality is first rate.

My Cub Cadet arrived within a week as promised, was easy to assemble once I managed to get it out of the crate it was delivered in.

The controls are easy to understand and so far it works perfectly. It is so dry at the moment and we have not had a chance to really put it to use, but it will rain again I hope.

Received mower in good condition. Driver helped to put mower into garage.
