I brought the new mower home.

That yellow is a little bright for me, but the local Cub dealer was happy as heck to take my money; meanwhile, the Deere dealer, not so much.

I'm looking forward to seeing how she does; my last Cub mowed like a champ. My oldest already bummed around the property, had some fun, and then learned how to wash off the mud he was supposed to keep out of. Lol.

Congrats! May the new Cub serve you well!

Ya gotta love the smell and feel of a new machine.
Congrats looks sharp.

Thank you, gentlemen; I'm excited to get her cutting grass, it'll be nice to mow the lawn in one sitting without anything breaking lol.

Between the Cub and a new grill, I've got some sorting to do.

Nice, congrats. Happy to see you didn't fall for the green paint scam!

Keep an eye on the starting battery. I was told (by my dealer's tech) that they are now using a small AGM battery in place of the larger flooded wet cell and it don't have the cranking power of the old battery plus it has to be trickle charged slowly if low. Wonder why they did that. Seems counter productive to me or maybe it was cheaper...

I was going to ask you what the strange device was on your end loader bucket when I realized it was a Yetti type mug.

I can't fathom that AGM batteries are cheaper, at least in cost, lol; it used to be that the XT2 got a better battery that the XT1 series, but I'm looking at they're both using the 210 CCA AGM. However, if I want, I can replace it with a 230 CCA version, out of pocket lol.

I'll bring it indoors come winter, to keep it warm. The battery that is, not the mower, the wife would take issue with that.

It's not like I saved any money, lol; the Deere S240 48" and the Cub XT2 LX46 are right on the same target, cost wise.

Of course, the Cub Cadet dealer wanted my money, and the John Deere dealer didn't.
