Like selling anything that new, you're gonna take a hit. New MSRP is ~$2600? You should be able to get around $1800 for it I would guess. Why are u unloading so soon? Maybe you should trade up?

Thanks for the reply. That is exactly what I had in mind to sell it for. To answer your question... I just moved in to a new house and we have a very small yard. The 54" deck does it in about 15 minutes. I thought I might sell the Cub and get something smaller and have quite a bit of cash left over. It is just a real tough decision because the SLT1554 is soooooo nice! The only prob I ever had with it was starting trouble.. and that turned out to be old gas!! Against my better judgment after trying everything else.. I took some advice and dumped $10.00 worth of gas out of the tank and put in fresh. It started right up and ran great. Now I just run a little gas preserver in it and never fill it past half a tank and it is great.
I'll take opinions if anyone wants to offer them!!
Should I sell it and pocket some cash or just keep it and love having an incredible tractor for 15 minutes every week?

Assuming a replacement will run about $1200 before taxes, I'd say it isn't worth it. You've had no problems with your current tractor, so why run the risk of purchasing something that becomes a nightmare?
Unless you have a real need for the money, I'd say stick with what you've got.

Why not just keep the SLT1554?
I have one too and I love it. I put 30 hours on mine last summer and have 4 this year. Hasn't given me a single problem except when the mice chewed through my wiring on the starter.
If it only takes 15 minutes to mow, that is a good thing. More time to do other things.
Who is to say that you won't move to a place with a big yard in a couple of years? Then you will be looking for a big tractor again.
If you put only 15 mins a week on the SLT1554, it should last you a long, long time.
Keep it.
