Had a 2002 MTD Made Cub Cadet 2206 Traded In 2018 for an XT3 GSX, The 48-inch deck on that 2206 was in practically Immaculate condition and so was the Hydraulic Tiller. But My wife and I Both take care of our equipment. The 2206 was Her tractor. She didn't use it as Much Between My Army retirement in 2002 and 2005. But when I was re-called as a Civilian Military advisor Between 2005 and 2012 She did most of the Mowing and Garden work with the 2206 Only issue we ever had was the 1st day I brought it home she ran over a Landscape rake and 1 rear tire had to be replaced. I will say the MTD cubs do require more Maintenance, than the old IH Cub Cadets. But if you stick with it, the MTD/Cub Machines can last just as long,even these modern ones
