Cub Cadet XT1 vs Husqvarna TS275XD

I hope y'all can please help me here on some advice.I just purchased a CC XT1 with 50 in Kohler 24hp from Tractor Supply for $2999 out the door. I noticed right after I found a Husqvarna TS275XD with the tuff Kawasaki 23 hp for $4100 out the door but they have to order that one and said that if I would like I could swap out and pay the difference........Here is where my thinking is I know one is 50 inch and other is 48 in and that is really not a big deal or me. I have a left leg above knee amputee and the brake lever to push it down on the CC I have to press really hard to get it to start..............I didn't realize that the CC didn't have front wheel bearings and it has aluminum deck spindles and the Husky has Cast Iron deck spindles and has front wheel bearings. The CC has the front cast iron axle assembly with the welded front axle spindles while the Husky that you can change them out if you had to .........They both have the K46 and the Husky is a locking and CC isn't.... The hood on the Husky is all metal and CC isn't....... The Husky looks to have a nicer seat with higher back and arm rest and also it has a hour meter I think and CC doesn't.....anyway what I am asking basically is I know there is a big price jump and dont mind paying it but I am worried that the main thing is getting parts and is it easier to work on as well.The front end on both is got me,is there a reason that the CC folks made the front end where you have to buy the whole assembly if you have to replace one spindle?I know there is some more equipment the Husky has the CC doesn't but these are just off top of my head.I know on both machines that the warranty is like a lot and its not worth the paper its written on so thats why I told them I would opt out on that extra.......................I sure appreciate yalls help but being 60 I have some health issues and we did try several manufactures of zero turns but it was awkward for me getting on and off so we just gonna stay with the rider even know they are now more than the zeros--- Thank yall so so much for yalls time and patience with me on this.Kenny Morris Wade,Ms
 
For the build quality, I would go with the Husqvarna, but shop around and see if any of the area tractor dealers can give you a better deal along with service capability. Tractor Supply is just a box store vendor, and their prices have been higher than most around. Tractor supply has no service capability.
 
Thank yall so so so much-Im gonna run back over and see if I can locate a dealer and willget back on here this afternoon for sure.Bare with me.
