Have you had to switch mower brand temporarily?
Has anyone experienced similar scenarios.
Recently while mowing with GT2186 the pro belt broke and had to finish 2ac with a GT Craftsman. WOW!! What a difference. I didn't realize what a chore it was to mow with compared to the cub. The craftsman is fine for pulling a wagon around, but mowing is the pits. It's not a bad tractor with a 22hp Kolher Pro & loaded rear tires. BUT, the deck is flimsy, 8 speeds that is either too slow or too fast, aprox. Hard to turn 38" turn radius,& tippy with the 46" deck.
The Cub is fast fwd & rev., 18" easy turn radius, HD stable 54" deck with better traction stock. I actually like it a little better than my 3205 with pwr steer, hdy 60" deck that I have at another location for mowing.
