with all the mower talk, i thought i d put in my 2cents.
I have a 2006 LT1050 Cub Cadet made my MTD. It has a 50" deck, three blades, 26 horse kohler and hydro.
355 hours. I mow 3.5 acres with it.
seems like I have to put 300 bucks into to it every 55 hours or so. Mostly deck parts, idler bearings and spindles. Trans drive bearings, and the steering pinion gear bronze bushing.
The cut is terrible, streaks and doesn't chop the grass as it should. and boggs down in thick stuff.
I bought the bagger attachment, doesn't even work right. doesn't get the grass into the 3 baggger system (i have all the right stuff for it, blades) and cloggs when it does manage to fill the first bag and not the other two. took it off and left it off.
bought the 42" snow thrower, took it off after one season of use (5 hrs) cause it looked like the front axle was gunna have kittens if i kept using it. Motor really worked well with it.
Engine runs great, uses 3.5 gallons to mow the 3.5 acres. hydro is slow at times when hot
I don't think id buy another one, but for 2000, you get what you pay for.
been thinking of a diesel jd, but those arm plus leg.
the way its going, the unit will be shot at 700 hours.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
