Need Buying Advice: 42' deck - Cub vs Husky

[davey1108]

Hi everyone,

I'm down to a decision between the YTH22v42 Husqvarna and the XT2 42 inch by Cub Cadet.

As of now, it seems like a toss up.

The Husky seems to have a better deck (since it's reinforced) and the Cub Cadet seems to be more user-friendly in terms of routine maintenance (something I'd like to start doing on my own to save $. The cost of both is identical.

Thoughts or opinions?

Suggestion: read reviews for both.

Most times I would say get the cub cadet.
But out of these two I say. Sit on them and act like you are cutting the yard.
Get the one that feels the best. They are both very good mowers. The cub in my opinion will give a better cut.
