This highly-versatile garden tractor from MTD-Lawnflite brand Cub Cadet offers three cutting-modes: side-discharge; collection; & mulching. As a result, it’s equally at home on the sort of long, rough grass you’ll find in orchards & paddocks as it is on the ‘bowling green’-style formal lawn that’s so popular amongst UK gardeners (the mulch-kit can be purchased separately). Making it tick is a twin-cylinder OHV engine from esteemed Japanese manufacturers Kawasaki. Thanks to its advanced V-Twin cylinder-layout, the engine is clean-burning; smooth in operation; & exceptionally fuel-efficient. Noise levels are also significantly reduced when compared to conventional twin-cylinder units. The 107cm twin-bladed cutter-deck on the Cub Cadet CC1022KHG allows for a fast cut over very large areas & has been offset so you can mow flush against walls & fence-lines. Twin anti-scalp wheels ensure you’ll be able to achieve a smooth, gouge-free finish on undulating ground; while a wash-nozzle means you can attach a hosepipe, spin the blades & be sure all the debris has been cleared from the deck’s underside. Changing the ground-speed on a manual-shift tractor can be a complicated operation & takes up a great deal of time as you have to stop each time you want to change gear. Cub Cadet have circumvented this problem by equipping the Cub Cadet CC1022KHG Garden Tractor with a hydrostatic drive; a premium feature that provides smooth, gear-shift-free acceleration (forward & reverse) via a single foot-pedal. A cruise control function means that you can lock the ground-speed when undertaking long, unbroken passes. The Cub Cadet CC1022KHG employs MTD’s Rev TEK technology, whereby you can choose to keep the blades engaged when undertaking reversing manoeuvres (providing you’re totally sure it’s safe to do so). Comfort features include a convenient step-though frame; a deluxe high-back seat; & effortless light-touch steering.
