Cub Cadet CC 30 Rider

[teetertotter]

I visited our nearest Cub Cadet dealership that was 1/2 hour drive, having full service capabilities, 4 days ago. We have a large city corner lot and is flat with few obstacles. The 30 inch rider, w 11.5hp, has more than enough power for my needs and of the right size. I did not buy the hydromatic model, as I did not want to spend the extra $200.00 more or $1399.00. They would not give me free delivery...DANG..and was $25.00. I liked the fact it has bumper to bumper warranty with their own proprietary engine and assembled in Ohio. They delivered the machine 2 days ago and sure it will work just fine. It was built 2-20-16 with latest revisions.
I am looking for many years of operation in this CC 30 as did my 17 year old, 24 inch Toro, I sold 3 years ago. It will be nice to get back on a rider mower in a couple of days.
