Now I ain't gonna drag race a riding mower, but speed is important to me on the flat straight lawn I have. Getting ready to buy a new machine and really like the looks of Cub, but, I see the factory specs only 5.2 mph top speed, regardless of model. That seems slow to me. The high end Toro's run ~7 mph, but they are also priced several thousand more. My current machine is an ageing manual shift with a Brigs twin, it cooks right along pretty good, but I have no idea how fast its really going since I have no way to clock such low speeds. Any suggestione here? Or what about that 5.2 mph, does that seem slow?
I see where HD has Cubs with a $200 rebate, but they won't take em back once they've been fueled and run, so it could be an expensive gamble if I find I need more ground speed.
