Looking at upgrading from an old Cub 1641 to the new XT3 GSX. Any bad news about this new CUB?
I believe it's basically the same as my GTX 2000 I bought last year(at least that's what dealer told me). Keep your old 1641 and fix it up. The new Cubs nowadays are plastic Chinese/USA POS machines.I bought mine to replace an early Kubota GR series mower that tranny went south in,and boy,do I regret ever selling the Kubota. I wish I would've put $3k into the Kubota than selling it and buying this POS Cub last year. I have the 48" fab deck,and still clogs miserably,which was a big complaint of mine on 2 previous Cubs I owned that I purchased new(a 2165 in 1994 and a 3204 in 2002). I have a thread on my mower also. I can't wait to be rid of it.

The only time I ever had a mower deck clog I was mowing wet grass. Did not mow wet grass again and never had the clogging problem again.

enuff already.I mowed my lawn Weds.,cleaned deck,then mowed again yesterday,still was clogging. If the grass is green,this deck will clog. ****,the one time I used a Dixie Chopper(started to rain) and grass wasn't clumping.I've also used a JD X740,and my old kubota GR, decks didn't clog w/ same conditions. My belief is they only put the washouts on decks they can't design properly....Kubota and JD didn't have deck wash ports. I hope the OP has better luck w/ their Cub.......
Why??? I'm just stating my conditions when I mow,IF my grass was wet,I'd deal with it-but when you mow a dry lawn,taking less than an inch of grass off,no mower deck should clog up underneath. ALWAYS a problem with the 3 Cubs I've owned,not with other mowers I've had,so if you don't like my stating my experiences with these Cubs,well,tough.......enuff already.
