As a Cub Cadet fan of the older machines (Circa 1990-2010 - or 1800 to 2500 series) these were great machines along with Jhon Deere 300 and 500 series. If you can find a good low hour Cub 1800-2500 or JD 318-400-500 series for $2K or less these are better options.

The new XT series are good, but $ for $ today, the Husky appears to be the better choice.
