New 2011 Cub Cadet Garden Tractor!!

[VinceSMTA]

After reading this thread I stopped by my friend's shop to see if he knew anything about the 50th Anniversary. He didn't have too many details about it, but did give me a sneak peak of a picture that he had received via email. I asked him to forward it to me but he wasn't sure if he was allowed to. Anyway, its a model GTX2150LE. The paint scheme is a lot like the 40th anniversary 3000 series. Physically it looks a little like the GTX1054 but heavier duty (think 2500 series). Fabricated deck with what looked like some type of suspension seat and a rather large front bumper to go with a front bumper that is off the 3000 series. In my opinion the old school cub enthusiasts will be disappointed, especially if they were hoping for some type of throwback cub as I was. Anyway, I only saw one pic and am looking forward to some more detailed pics.

ok, im really disappointed in that. looks like they put a 2500 series hood on a 3k

ehh.. I could get over the looks if the features and price are right. It does look BIG and comfortable. Lots of room between the seat and controls. Man that is a shallow looking fab'd deck though. Could be problems with clogging and clumping.

Looks Great!!! They finally got rid of the 2000 series hood that they had trouble with!! Deck is Nice!! Same Mower deck they put on the Z-Force Commercial!!

Doesn't look too bad....hydraulics? PS? Engine?

I would guess it is closer to the 2500 than the 3200 in how heavy duty it is?I hope this is not the case.I hope the true GT is not over with CC.

Cub Cadet Hit A Home Run!!! I Love This New Tractor!!

The 3000 Series was a Great tractor but It was just too expensive to sell very many!! Cub Cadet also said that the 3000 Series would have had to had a Price increase because of the Dropping numbers.

im disappointed in how much the same it looks like the current lineup. as far as less expensive goes, you get what you pay for. you cant make something less expensive without skimping somewhere, and we know a corporation isnt letting their profit margin shrink.

is the locking diff still available? is the deck still shaft or is it the mule drive? is tilt available on all the 2500 models? and the electric lift? hp ratings on motors? this is what we want to know, im sure.
