Comparison CXT 9500 questions

[sammynomas]

Hello everyone. We just moved into a new house with 5 acres, and my 46" 24 horse YTS 4000 seems a bit on the small side. I'm looking at new mowers, and the CXT 9500 caught my eye, but the price kinda shocked me. Any of ya'll have one? and are they worth the price over the other Craftsman 54" garden tractors?

Anyone have an opinion of the CXT 9500? Or did I miss something?

Not familiar with them at all. Only have a GT.

I do not own one but saw several reviews while I was shopping for mine. ( I ended up with a YT4500 w/26 hp Kohler )
The price is big but not bad for what you get - one of the best transaxles out there and hydraulics. But in that price
range ( maybe a little more ) John Deere and Kabota have models with diesel and 4WD. The options just don't stop.

I havent seen them either some models are not available in different locations. I have the ys4500 with the 24hp Briggs, and a 54" cut it keeps up pretty good with larger yards.

I checked, and it says 50 states but your prefix was off. They show it as a Craftsman ctx 9500
