Cub Cadet LTX1050

    3 Reviews

    The Cub Cadet LTX1050 lawnmower has 2 variations. As with the 3 different Cub Cadet LTX1046 lawnmowers, the 2 different LTX 1050 lawnmowers are exactly the same except for the fact that each one has a different sized engine. The Cub Cadet LTX1050 KW has a 22 hp gasoline V twin cylinder engine that is made by Kawasaki. Meanwhile the Cub Cadet LTX1050 KH lawnmower is powered by a 24 hp, V twin cylinder Courage engine that has been designed and built by Kohler. Please note that both these machines are very similar, having the same sized mower deck with a cutting width of 50 inches. This mower deck uses a really ingenious SmartJet washer system that quickly cleans the mower deck by simply attaching a hose to the right valve. It is also very accurate in how much grass it cuts as it’s height can be adjusted by increments of just 0.25 inches. It’s cutting height ranges from as low as 1.5 inches above the ground to 4 inches above the ground.

    Both Cub Cadet LTX1050 lawnmowers weigh in at 249 kg (548 lbs). They both use hydrostatic transmission boxes which make them automatic lawnmowers which have no need for a gear stick to change speeds. This transmission gives the LTX 1050 a top speed of 8.4 kph (5.2 mph).

    Probably the greatest thing about both Cub Cadet LTX1050 lawnmowers is that they both have an incredibly small turning radius of just 0.3 m (12 inches) making them highly suitable for use in gardens that have many small areas that need an agile machine to cut the grass. When you are not using the LTX 1050 to cut your lawn, you can attach a snowblower to the front of it or a front blade or numerous rear attached implements. If you are looking for a smaller machine, then you should take a look at the Cub Cadet LTX1045 lawnmower.

      I shoulda bought one a long time ago!

      Year of Manufacture: 2011
      Pros: I bought a 1050KW last spring. This thing mows!!! Tall grass, wet grass it dosn’t matter! I have had no clog ups, even in the real wet area out back by a stream. Unlike my old Yardman I replaced. I was stuck between this and a John Deere. But the Kawasaki engine pushed me in the Cub. Thanks Cub Cadet “MTD” for making a tough affordable lawn tractor!!
      Cons: She mows a little slow, but she ain’t no Dixie Chopper either. Goin into reverse is a little cumbersome..
      Modifications: Rear facing red LED running light. For mowing up near the highway!!

      Absolutely awful!

      Year of Manufacture: 9
      Pros: when it is working it cuts great
      Cons: Where to start. I have had nothing but problems from day one. I have replaced the blade belt three times in two years. The transmission drive belt has been replaced twice and broke again, only this time it threw a spring off and I cant locate exactly where it goes. It also shredded the hydrostat fan. The cost of a tune up is ridiculous I replaced the filters, oil and blades it cost me over 120 dollars. Im not sure the deck even throws grass out as it constantly plugs up. The deck wash is a joke it doesnt really remove alot of grass from the deck. When trying to find info on how to replace the transmission drive belt it says to take it to a dealer of course. I guess I learned a hard lesson in buying a lawn mower. You get what you pay for and apparently I payed for crap! Stay away from this p.o.s. unless you enjoy working on your lawn mower every week.

      Something fails every time you start a new Cub Cadet.

      Year of Manufacture: 2011
      Pros: Readily available-no waiting.Good looking and comfortable.
      Cons: Ran for 20 minutes before transmission failed and mower would not move. Dealer can and picked unit back up and I replaced with a 2011 LTX1046.Unit was delivered this morning and first the battery had to be replaced and then the carburetor had to be replaced due to flooding. The units just are not like the older Cubs that ran forever.They are junk.Mine were purchased thru a Cub Cadet Master dealer.
