Do you remove the deck after each use? How do you keep the grass clippings from accumulating on your rider? I understand you can use a blower but can't imagine that getting the clippings without deck removal? Getting a new mower so I want to take the best care possible. Thanks.

Originally Posted By: JTK I don't care for single cyl engines over ~20hp, but it's been some years since I've worked on one or followed them in general. This rider does have a Tufftorq K46 which is a great thing. They're "sealed" but you can drain and fill them with some work. I don't know much...

Maybe carry his cans back up to his house once you have used them and they have been emptied. Nice gesture, I think. Also, ask first.

Originally Posted By: Pop_Rivit Originally Posted By: 2civics If pulleys and belts are a regular replacement item, then 10 years/ 150 hours seems to be pretty good wear. Then again, if it were built better, maybe they don't have to be replaced at all? Is that what you are saying? In all the...

Originally Posted By: Ramblejam What will you being doing with it? How much are you mowing/terrain? Great questions. Thanks I mow a quarter of an acre in a residential neighborhood on mostly flat terrain. Slope toward the back of the yard but it's a small area. I won't be hauling, pulling...

The K46 transmission is hydro-static. It seems to be a common transmission in the mowers at my price point.

Cub Cadet XT2 LX46" Hey everyone! I am thinking about buying this mower. Does anyone have any thoughts that can help me with my decision? I am at the $2000 price point in my budget and am looking for something that will last me many years. The XT series, when it was upgraded from the previous...

The problem here is my price point. I'm right at $2200 for a machine. I've been told the John Deere's at the same price point are no better. The machine I own was purchased at Tractor Supply, so I didn't believe it to be any sort of great equipment. If pulleys and belts are a regular...

Is it worth going from a 22 hp mower to a 24 hp? The difference is $200. I'm a big guy, would it be less stress for a bigger engine? What I have now is a 20hp and it doesn't seem to struggle with me.

Just looking at paperwork and realizing this mower has a courage engine. That's bad, right? Lol Now I am thinking I just trade this thing in. I'd save $200 on the tuneup and probably get another $350 for the mower. That would give me $550 toward another mower that is brand new and doesn't need...

My mower is a Cub Cadet LT1045. They quoted me $80 for parts. What a ripoff. I cannot do the work myself. As I stated, I have a bad back. It makes it very difficult to crawl around on the ground or bend over for very long. Not whining, just stating a fact.

Hello all. I'm a bit down in the dumps. My mower repair place (dealer) just called and said that I have to get my pulleys and belts replaced at a cost of $200. That's on top of the charge for pickup and drop off with an oil change and blade sharpening, etc. Grand total? $375- $400 is the...

One Eye- Still want to see this civic. Even if all you do is pm me the pic.

Did it get political? I remember it but didn't check it after more replies were posted.
