50 reviews for Cub Cadet Enduro Series XT1 LT42

  1. Mary D.

    Flawless delivery

    Arrived in a crate, but assembly was minimal. Added gas and it was ready to cut.

  2. Sarah W.

    Fits in my shed

    I was worried about storage space, but it fits perfectly through my standard shed doors.

  3. William E.

    Smooth PTO engagement

    Engaging the blades is very smooth without jerking the engine.

  4. Daniel A.

    No more string trimming

    The deck extends far enough past the wheels that I can mow right up to my fence and garden beds.

  5. Anthony V.

    Slight vibration in steering

    When I have the throttle pushed all the way up, I feel a slight buzz in the steering wheel.

  6. Christopher J.

    Manual could be clearer

    The mower itself gets 5 stars, but the instructions for leveling the deck initially were confusing.

  7. Sandra M.

    Anti-scalp wheels work great

    My yard is far from flat, but the deck wheels prevent the blades from digging into the high spots.

  8. Matthew V.

    Saves me hours

    Upgrading to a rider gave me my weekends back. I finish my yard in record time.

  9. Patricia F.

    Perfect size for my yard

    The 42-inch deck is exactly what I needed. It easily fits through my fence gate but is wide enough to cut my mowing time in half.

  10. Karen F.

    Wish armrests were standard

    For a premium tractor, armrests really should be included instead of an optional extra.

  11. Christopher L.

    Great battery placement

    Easy access to the battery under the seat for winterizing. They really thought the design through.

  12. Thomas N.

    Rugged and durable

    I’ve put this tractor through a lot of tough mowing over the past year and it hasn’t skipped a beat.

  13. Michael L.

    Bumpy on rough terrain

    Without a suspension system, you definitely feel the bumps if your yard is uneven. The seat helps a bit.

  14. Christopher A.

    Smooth steering

    The optimized steering system makes it feel like power steering. It takes very little effort to turn the wheel.

  15. Anthony A.

    Easy deck height adjustment

    The lever is right next to the seat and is spring-assisted, making it very easy to change the cutting height on the fly.

  16. Lisa H.

    Fast ground speed

    It flies down the straight sections of my yard. The top speed is impressive for a lawn tractor.

  17. Richard P.

    Excellent bagging system

    I purchased the optional bagger and it works flawlessly. It creates a lot of suction to pick up all the fall leaves.

  18. Susan H.

    Deck is heavy to remove

    Taking the 42-inch deck off to change the blades is definitely a two-person job. Quite heavy.

  19. Mary Z.

    Highly recommended

    I did a ton of research before choosing the LT42. It exceeded all my expectations.

  20. Christopher T.

    Fantastic customer service

    The delivery was smooth and the dealer answered all my questions. Great brand support.

  21. Jessica T.

    Deck wash port is just okay

    It rinses the loose stuff, but you still have to scrape the underside manually for a deep clean.

  22. Nancy C.

    Fuel gauge is hard to read

    The clear plastic tank under the hood makes it tough to see the fuel level in bright sunlight.

  23. Christopher N.

    Beautiful stripe pattern

    The weight of the mower leaves a nice stripe on the lawn, making it look professionally maintained.

  24. James A.

    Tackles hills with ease

    I have a few slopes in my yard and the rear tires provide excellent traction. I never feel like it’s going to slip.

  25. Lisa M.

    Best mower I've owned

    I’ve had several riders over the years, and this Cub Cadet is by far the best built.

  26. Betty M.

    Starts right up

    Turn the key and it fires up instantly, even after sitting in the garage all winter. Very reliable machine.

  27. Robert Z.

    Great mower, a bit loud

    The engine has tons of power but it’s pretty noisy at full throttle. Wear ear protection.

  28. Daniel D.

    Looks great

    The styling is aggressive and modern. It looks like a premium machine sitting in my driveway.

  29. Mary J.

    Reliable Kohler engine

    The 19.5HP engine is fantastic. It starts right up every single time and powers through thick grass without bogging down.

  30. Christopher H.

    Even cut every time

    The 42-inch deck leaves a perfectly level cut. My lawn has never looked this good.

  31. John W.

    Incredible turning radius

    For a lawn tractor, the 16-inch turning radius is very impressive. I can maneuver around my trees almost like a zero-turn.

  32. Richard C.

    Quiet engine

    For a large engine, it runs surprisingly quiet and smooth. Less vibration than my old mower.

  33. Michael N.

    Easy to clean

    The deck wash port works surprisingly well for quick cleanups after mowing.

  34. Barbara N.

    Tires don't tear the turf

    Even when making tight turns, the tires are gentle on my grass. Very well balanced.

  35. Thomas D.

    Perfect residential mower

    If you have 1 to 2 acres, this is the perfect size. Not too big to store, but wide enough to be fast.

  36. Joseph R.

    Comfortable ride

    The high-back seat provides great support. I can mow for over an hour and my back doesn’t hurt at all.

  37. Anthony E.

    Crate was a hassle

    The tractor is amazing, but uncrating the wooden shipping pallet took a lot of time and tools.

  38. Daniel F.

    A joy to drive

    It actually makes yard work fun. The tractor is responsive, fast, and very comfortable.

  39. Jennifer F.

    Built to last

    The frame feels incredibly solid. You can tell Cub Cadet uses high-quality materials for these Enduro series tractors.

  40. Charles P.

    Leaves marks on soft ground

    It’s a heavy tractor, so avoid mowing right after a heavy rain or it will leave slight tire tracks.

  41. Mark K.

    Cuts wet grass well

    I was forced to mow after a light rain. The side discharge didn’t clog once and threw the clippings evenly.

  42. Barbara G.

    Smooth hydrostatic transmission

    I love the pedal-operated drive. No shifting gears, just press the pedal and go. It makes mowing around obstacles so much easier.

  43. Mary N.

    Love the cup holder

    It’s the little things! Having a nice deep cup holder for a cold drink makes summer mowing much better.

  44. Daniel N.

    Got it at a great price

    The features you get on the XT1 LT42 rival tractors that cost much more. Great bang for your buck.

  45. David E.

    Great value

    You get a lot of tractor for the money here. The 42-inch width and the Kohler engine are a great combo for homeowners.

  46. Michael D.

    Great headlights

    The LED headlights are actually bright enough to use. I can finish up my mowing at dusk with no issues.

  47. Richard Z.

    Solid 5-star tractor

    I absolutely love this machine. It does everything I need it to do with power to spare.

  48. Michael K.

    Solid front axle

    The cast iron front axle is a nice touch. It gives me confidence that the front end won’t bend if I hit a bump.

  49. Nancy C.

    Oil changes are a breeze

    The oil drain system makes routine maintenance so fast and clean. No more spilling oil all over the frame.

  50. Robert W.

    Great on gas

    It’s surprisingly fuel-efficient. I can easily mow my 1.5 acres a couple of times on a single tank.
