Cub Cadet mowers any good?

Good luck

yea most of the reviews ive found certainly aren't what i would consider glowing. be a much easier decision if mowers weren't priced like automobiles now.

yeah that’s a no on cub cadet. Also I’d be interested to hear why you want a wheel, the sticks are the way to go

My Dad has one and he friggin loves it

less hands-on, but mostly i need a mower that can handle an incline and the standard zero turn with caster wheels up front doesnt really do it.

Want to go with traditional john deere riding mower, but im tired of all the damn fiberglass on those things breaking. way too $$ to replace.

Zero-turn mowers typically have a rear-wheel drive and pivoting front caster wheels, which creates an imbalanced weight distribution that can lead to tipping on slopes if not managed carefully. In contrast, lawn tractors feature front-wheel steering and balanced weight distribution, providing superior traction and stability on hills and uneven terrain.
While zero-turns excel on flat, obstacle-rich lawns with their agility, they are generally less stable on inclines due to their design, often sliding before tipping. Lawn tractors are better suited for sloped or uneven ground, offering reliable grip and lower tipping risks thanks to their consistent weight distribution and front-wheel traction.

That's nice, but every lawn crew here uses zero turns and the yards here can be nutty steep. My lawn tractor can't even go straight up the hill in my yard, and the brakes aren't strong enough to stop it going down. Maybe the AI summary is about hills in LA.
