RIDING LAWN MOWER LINEUP

WHAT LAWN TRACTOR IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

When choosing a residential riding lawn mower you can consider four basic platforms: lawn tractors, garden tractors, zero-turn riders and zero turn tractors. This information will help you choose which Cub Cadet® lawn tractor is right for you. 


Lawn Tractors, such as the Cub Cadet® Series 1000 are designed for grass cutting and light duty chores. First time buyers usually choose lawn tractors. The Cub Cadet® Series 1000 lawn tractor is the most innovative and manoeuvrable lawn tractor in its category. It features a best-in-class 30cm (12") turning radius, professional-grade engines, and welded steel frames that are one of the thickest in the industry - giving you the dependability you deserve. Combine that with the premium cutting system that leaves no grass uncut, and you have a lawn tractor that can't be beat, not to mention it keeps the investment you call home looking beautiful. 


Zero turn lawn tractors, such as the Cub Cadet® RZT, make it easier and quicker for you to mow your grass. If you have a lot of obstacles and you want to save time, choose a Cub Cadet® Residential Zero Turn Lawn Tractor. Its wider cutting width and triple blades help you cut grass faster, giving you more time to relax and enjoy your lawn. 


Zero turn riders, such as the Cub Cadet® ZTT, are one of the most manoeuvrable lawn tractors in the world. Only available from Cub Cadet®, the uniquely designed ZTT gives you the attachment capability of a traditional tractor and the time-saving benefits of a zero-turn-rider. The ZTT is a zero turn lawn tractor with a steering wheel. Plus the ZTT is the only tractor engineered and built to take on hills with ease. A wide track and a low centre of gravity provide extra traction and stability to mow a straight line on hills and inclines. 


A garden tractor is a step-up from a lawn tractor. They are more powerful and offer more versatility when it comes to other lawn chores. The Cub Cadet® Series 2500 and Series 3000 garden tractors provide heavy-duty performance due to the powerful direct-drive shaft that provides a more efficient transfer of power to the rear transaxle. No belts to slip, stretch or break.
