Let may say first that I am not very knowledgeable about lawn tractors. The only one I have ever owned is a 2006 TSC SuperHuskee SLT4200 (MTD?) 42" with an 18.5 hp B&S Intek engine. It has done the job over the years and I've only had to replace blades, belts, batteries and one set of spindles. It is not a comfortable machine, the steering is sloppy, the deck is hard to keep level, and the cut is not smooth when moving anything over slow. It's time for a new machine.
I (or my wife) mow about 2 acres of bumpy yard with some slope, several trees, parked farm equipment, a pond bank and a couple of drainage ditches. I don't think a Zero Turn would work for us. I have been doing some research on the internet and think I have narrowed it down to either a Husqvarna YT48XLS ($2800) or a Cub Cadet XT2 LX46 FAB ($2500). The Husq has a 26 hp Kohler 7000 series engine, while the Cub comes with either a 24 hp Kohler 7000 series or an 18 hp Kawasaki engine (same price). Both have fabricated decks, diff locks and comfortable seats (i have sat on the Cub but have yet to find the Husq, but it looks good). I think they have the same transmission.
I would appreciate any advice or opinion regarding either machine or perhaps about a better choice given my situation. I would also appreciate any advice on the engine choice for the Cub (6 hp difference sounds like a lot, but maybe not?). Thanks in advance for your time - Steve.
