Hi all,
New Cub Owner here!!! And I am in love. I have only owned 3 riding mowers in my life but I have a feel for most things. And after only mowing 2.7 hours (which is a normal routine once a week) This is the most solid mower I have owned. I mow 3 acres aprox. dunno exact amount but near 3 acres. And the terrarain is varied I have flat areas slopes hills and wooded areas and the 1050 LT handled it all gracefully. The mower I traded in for this one was a toro timecutter, that mower was great for tight spots, but that was about it, the cut quality was horrible the weight of the mower was poor and overall maintinece was a pain. Before that I had a mtd traditional tractor 46" cut(dont remember model wasnt important, the mower was all green if that helps) which actually I liked alot but the trans went out and I traded it for the driveway I have right now (dont ask lol). But anyway I am a new cub owner and I Love my cub 1050. (and yeah I already know its not a gt! blah,blah,blah) dont need a gt have a real tractor (ford 640 which is more than I need). All I want is a good quality mower and I have finally found it. I think my point of this whole rant is the fact that when I first sat in the seat of the cub it just felt solid and when I mowed, it only confirmed my first impression.
I mowed my lawn in according to cubs hour meter in 2.7 hours, which would have taken me close to 4 hours with my zero turn 42" mower. (and if you are asking how is that possible I asked myself the same question) and the conclusion I came too was that the 50" deck outperforms the manuverability of the 42" zero turn. Also I found that with the reverse mowing (revtek) the manuverability was not as big a diff as it was with my first mower (in which I had too disengage the pto and then put it in reverse and then move and then reverse the order). yeah I know I am ranting. I am just very pleased with cub and want to share my experiance, I hope veterans and newbies like me can take something positive from this post.
