"Coming right off a Hustler Super-Z 60 and a fast track 42 (my former employers mowers) on to the Cub was not as big of a change as I thought it would be. The controls on the cub are a little stiffer (due to true hydro vs. hydro over wheel motors) but the cut is beautiful, ride is nice! With anything, once your on it for 10 mins you're really getting the feel of it and by the time your 1/2 way finished you've really got the hang of things! I love this mower I think it was a great purchase, and I even bought it right so there will be a little money to be made once I decide to make the big leap to a hustler just because in my opinion… they are the BEST."
