I saw a post where you say that you also have this machine. Mine is with the 54" fabricated deck, and I am very much not impressed.
My nearly 700 hour old Craftsman (Husqvarna) with a 54" stamped deck mows at a much higher level of quality.
It seems like the grass under the Cub gets blown downward and not sucked upright... The stamped Craftsman deck leaves a military level flat top crew cut, nearly perfection in all grass types.
I sharpen and balance the blades on the 2 mowers every 8 - 10 hours, so both are maintained the same. On thick heavy pasture grass the Cub mows equal to the Craftsman, but around the house where there is fine bladed grass the craftsman really shines while my Cub Cadet really disappoints. I have to double mow in 2 directions with the Cub to match the cut quality of the Craftsman. That really makes me tight!
So share with me your feelings on the Cub XT3 GSX.
