Default Brake System Questions
What are the advantages/disadvantages of the external vs internal brakes?
Which is preferred and why?
What is the advantage of a duel pedal brake system, used on the external brake setup?
Just wondering.
Thanks

As far as advantages/disadvantages or preferred set-up, that is a matter of opinion. The external brake is easier to change out brake pads vs. the internal due to the fact the internal pads are inside the reduction housing on the transmission which must be disassembled to remove. The advantage of a dual pedal brake is a better turning radius. You can lock the rear wheel to the inside of your turn and use it as a pivot point.

Default Internal
I have at times had problems with the internal brake system piston leaking around the o-ring. Also the piston can be frozen from rust. I know the internal system is used by the pullers with their custom rims.

I would take external over internal as with external you have two big disks wich gives you alot more braking power than the little 4 inch disk on the internal brake.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
