Cub Cadet 33 Inch Walk-Behind Mower

So I have now had the chance to use my new Cub Cadet Mower two times now in the Maryland heat and I must say I am pretty impressed. We have about .7 acres of land to mow and it gets the job done in about 1 hour once you get the hang of it.

There are a couple of things that you have to remember about this mower though when comparing it to other large walk-behinds. The first is that this is not a true commercial mower so you should not expect it to perform like one. It does not have independent motors for each of the wheels so no power steering on this one. You will need to push it around the turns and the faster you are going, the harder it is to push. What this likely means is that wives are not going to want to use this thing to mow the lawn. The good news for guys is that it is great exercise and if you work a desk job like I do, it feels really good to go out and use this mower on the weekends.

Secondly, this mower is going to take a bit more maintenance than your average 20 inch push mower. This mower has grease ports that you will need to re-fill every 8 hours or so. You will need to check the battery occasionally since the mower has an electric starter (a awesome feature) and it will drain eventually. There are also two blades on this mower instead of one so you will need to take that into account when getting ready to replace the blades or sharpen them.

But with all of that in mind, I can't complain one bit about this piece of machinery. For anyone that really doesn't want a rider but has a lawn that needs more than a 20 inch push, this is the mower for you. Not only will it take you no time to mow your lawn but you will also look really good doing it.
