Simple. Reliable. These words describe Cub Cadet's 1000 series tractors. These tractors start out with a 1-piece frame (not bolted together) and have added to it a cast-iron front axle with grease fittings, a lubricated-for-life hydrostatic transmission and premium Kohler Courage or Briggs & Stratton Professional Series engines. All tractors (except the LTX1040 which we don't stock) in the series feature a hydrostatic transmission with cruise control. This means the harder you press the ?Go Forward? pedal the faster you go, just like your car. And to go backwards, simply let you foot off the ?Go Forward? pedal and press on the ?Go Backwards? pedal. No shifting from forward to reverse! Have a long stretch of lawn and don't want to hold a pedal down? No problem. Engage the mechanical cruise control and relax.

Engaging the mower deck is as simple as throwing a lever (mechanical PTO) or pulling a knob (electric PTO). With Cub Cadet's RevTEK system, you can simply press a button to disable a safety system allowing the mower deck to run with the tractor moving both forward or in reverse. Competitive brands don't accomplish this as easily or as simply as the RevTEK system.

Cub Cadet's 1000 series tractors come in three cutting deck widths: 42-, 46, and 50-inch. Deck height adjustment is a breeze with the right-rear-fender mounted lever. The number of cutting height choices has doubled for 2009 allowing you to fine tune your cutting height to your conditions. Cleaning your mower deck has never been easier due to Cub Cadet's deck wash system. Simply attach the included fitting to your garden hose, plug the hose fitting into the deck fitting, turn on the water and engage your mower deck. The water is directed towards the center of the deck and the spinning blades fling air and water to help loosen any attached grass. This system works pretty well if you do it right after you mow but not at all if the grass has dried.

Need to do a more thorough cleaning, grease your spindle bearings or remove your blades? Pulling two spring-loaded pins is all that's required to remove your mower deck. Removal is literally a 30 second job and only 60 seconds to reinstall.

Maintenance is a snap on Cub's 1000 series tractors. The engine air filter, fuel filter and oil filter are easily accessed when the tilt-up hood is raised. Draining the engine oil requires no tools as all Cub Cadets are equipped with an EZ-Drain fitting. Simply flip open the dirt cover, attach the included drain hose, push in then twist the fitting and oil will begin to drain right into your bucket! No tools, no mess.

We feel the LTX1045, LTX1046VT, and LTX1050 are the best buys in Cub Cadet's 1000 series tractor lineup. The LTX1045 has a Kohler engine and a redesigned, 2-blade deck for 2009 which offers a more manicured cut and really, really good discharge. Plus it's only fifty bucks more than the LTX1042.. For slightly more money, the LTX1046VT gets you into a V-Twin engine and an electric PTO - a good value. (Tom Stannard in our sales department has owned 46? cut 1000 series for several years and is very happy with the cut quality as well as the deck's performance while bagging leaves. He is VERY picky about his lawn and recommends this tractor to anybody!) The largest of the series, the Cub Cadet LTX1050, boasts a 22 hp Kohler engine and a 50-inch cutting width. This 50? deck has the most depth to it and does great handling larger volumes of grass in the spring.

The warranty on Cub Cadet's 1000 series tractors is 3 years or 120 hrs. We recommend these tractors for yard sizes up to 1.7-2.0 acres, depending on deck size.

Bagger
Add a grass bagger to any Cub Cadet 1000 Series tractor (pictured on a previous model year machine) for added versatility. Baggers come in 2-bag configurations for 42- and 46-inch decks and 3-bag for the 50-inch deck. Either configuration attaches and detaches from your tractor in seconds with NO TOOLS! To empty the bagger simply tilt forward the hinged hood, lift the bag from the frame and dump! It's that easy!

Bagger kits are model specific and come with everything you need to install on your tractor. Some kits come with one or multiple mower blades specifically designed to improve bagging performance. Contact us for details on a bagger for your mower. Some machines do a better job than others collecting grass and we'll be happy to recommend the right mower for your application!

Snow Blades
Add a snow blade to any Cub Cadet 1000 Series tractor (pictured on a previous model year machine) to tackle mother nature. The 46" blade features a spring-trip steel moldboard, adjustable skid shoes, one straight and two angled positions and the ability to raise and lower from the operators seat.

It attaches in seconds with only two spring-loaded pins (included). For optimal performance, we recommend adding a set of tire chains and wheel weights (pictured).

At first look this blade isn't the heaviest thing that Cub Cadet makes but the price is really good and we've had ZERO problems with customers damaging them.

Snow Blowers
For the ultimate in snow removal, add a snow blower to any Cub Cadet 1000 Series tractor (pictured on a previous model year machine). This 42" wide blower features 2-stage operation, adjustable skid shoes and the ability to not only raise & lower the blower from the operator's seat but also control discharge chute rotation and pitch.

It attaches in minutes with two spring-loaded pins (included) and a pin-on power-drive subframe. For optimal performance, we recommend adding a set of tire chains and wheel weights (pictured).
