Super mower for my needs
Why only 4 stars? Give me a minute. I switched after 18 good years with John Deere because I wanted to buy from my local independent dealer. I had a deposit on an XT1 until I saw this XT2 in the showroom and the dealer manager discussed the benefits, which are real, even at the steep premium. I'm on an acre with a seriously sloping back yard. Had it since May and the Kawasaki 2 cylinder (highly recommended by an engine buddy) feels like more HP than listed. The upgraded tires are a major plus for me when the hill is wet. Other highlights include the steering and the three gallon tank (although difficult to read the gauge). I dinged it a star because of the location of the ignition being too low and close to the knee. I'm short but still turn the key off or out of reverse by accident with my knee when backing up with my head turned. I notice the competition has moved their ignition up high. The mulching kit came in late but I'm glad I finally have it. Overall I would buy it again and highly recommend this mower, even at the upper end of pricing for its class. Love the new aesthetics!

Happy so far from
Replaced a John Deere.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Better construction than the Deere I replaced. I like the reverse mowing feature, turning radius and 2 cylinder.
Gas level viewing could be better

Great new features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had this several months now. Excellent steering, V-twin has great power and much quieter than my last Cub Cadet. The wife loves the ride.

Get the mulching blades
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mulching blades are a necessity if you do not use a bagger, otherwise it’s impossible to mow cleanly in smaller areas.

Great Machine and very reliable
I bought this machine 2 years ago from St. Andrews Power Products in Manitoba.
The machine has exceeded our expectation in operability and ease of use. Even my wife wants to cut the grass with it as it is very comfortable to operate.
The service and support over the year from the dealer has also been exceptional.
Don't hesitate to purchase this mower, you don't regret it.
P.s. we cut approx 4 acres of grass with it every week.

XT2 LX42 Purchase
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far so good, have had this for a couple of months and have been very pleased. The machine was easy to assemble, controls are easy to maneuver and strong engine to get through substantial brush. Purchased the bagger as well and has been great for leaf pickup.

Exceptionally well built, including the mowerdeck
I bought this a month ago and have used it twice since. I love the ride on this mower, and it's easier to steer with wheel bearings over bushing hubs. Bigger axles, seat & armrest over the XT1.I like the bumper, very sturdy. Very satisfied with my dealer Sudbury Small Engines.

Drought!!! But works great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought mower and have had a historic drought since. Have used it twice in two months. Those two times that I have used it have been great. Easy to use and doesn’t miss a blade of grass.

Good machine so far
Good service, so far I love this product (only used it for 5 hours...) I do find it is a gas guzzler, about half a tank for 45-60 minute usage (1 acre with lots of corners and obstacles)
