Cub Cadet CLT-542
Hello all!
Anyone know the maximum width of a Cub Cadet CLT-542 (has a 42" deck) ? Not sure if that 42" is cutting width or actual deck width. :confused:
I have to borrow a trailer to take my Cub outta storage and the possible loaner trailer is only 46" wide. Knowing this width would save me a 2 hour trip rather than drag the trailer and come up too narrow. Searched on the 'net and came up empty; hope to find an answer here.

Thanks in advance.

42" is the actual cut swath width. With the extra deck shell metal/exhaust, prolly another 6 inches wider. Very tight fit in 46 " wide trailer - if at all. Deflector adds even more, but can be turned up out of the way, even tho spring-loaded.
Other fallback option could be to drop deck from tractor and then load longways separately on trailer....? Might have to be stood on side and lashed down as loaded tractor footprint width will also be right at 42".

Thanks for the quick reply.
Guess I'll bring the tools and tie downs with me just in case I can make it fit.
It would fit in my old trailer that was just shy of 48" wide (rail to rail) but i had to sell it when the mini-van came along...too heavy duty for it to haul. The borrowed hauler will have to do.

Thanks again,
