What should I consider before buying a riding lawn mower?

Cub Cadet® riding lawn mowers are ideal for large properties because their powerful engines and big decks allow you to finish the job faster than a walk-behind mower with a smaller deck size. Matching your lawn mower to the size of your yard is one of the most important considerations. Beyond that, consider the terrain type, obstacles, gates you need to maneuver through, and how much storage space is available. Our lawn mower buying guide goes into more depth on the differences between Cub Cadet lawn mower options.
