Quality is not the best
Bought this a while ago to replace another mower and it was pretty good at first but thing went downhill. The power of the mower was pretty bad honestly it felt like it never had enough power to mow a yard that was mowed weekly. The driving belt seems to be wearing out considering it no longer provides a lot of power to the drive wheels. The caster wheels were horribly engineered. They should have considered a mechanism to return the wheels to a straight position, likely with the use of a spring. The push bar has a small crack in the plastic. The exhaust covering has fallen apart. The whole pull start mechanism has fallen apart.

Awesome
This mower works great doesn't bog down in wet thick grass. Our other mowers would bog down and clumps of grass would need to be cleaned out from under it before restart it took hours to mow the yard with this mower about a half an hour.
If you have a wet or rainy season that prevents you from mowing this is the mower for you.

Awesome mower
I bought this a year ago and it is awesome. The caster wheels are the best. I love the my speed drive control. I have found that it doesn’t have the power to cut super super dense and long grass, but I wouldn’t expect it to. This thing is an amazing value. The way that the bag attaches is not the best. The whole area around where the bag meets the mower is poorly designed. That whole area gets clogged with grass clippings and I have had the bag fall off numerous times. A redesign of that and this mower would get a full 5 stars from me. Right now it’s at about a 4.

Easy to Maneuver
We purchased this mower to replace a basic self propelled unit. The front caster wheel configuration was very appealing to us for the ease of maneuvering. The variable speed control was an unexpected bonus. Unit starts like a charm, maneuvers very easily and has plenty of power for heavy grass or uphill movement. Very pleased with the product.

Great mower, average bagger
This is my second Cub Cadet mower, the first was the SRC 621 and lasted about 13 years. The new mower is very powerful and is very easy to operate. The one pull start is great and the new deck wash option is very handy. However, the bagger leaves a lot to be desired. The clippings pile on the left side of the bag and fall out when removing the bag. If not for this I would have given it an excellent rating.

Awesome machine
I bought this mower specifically for the swivel Castor wheels and it's great for your standard yard it's got Alot of plastic parts but that keeps the weight down for easy manuvering the motor has all the power you need for a basic yard saw alot of bad reviews on this but it's everything you need for a normal yard the bag holds just as much as a lot of your basic standard mowers I suggest these guys that complain about the bag filling up too fast you probably need a bigger mower I also own the CC 600 28 inch cut and it's got a bigger bag for bigger yards overall good mower real versatile and lightweight all the power you need for your basic yard

Good Mower, with a few tweaks it would be great
Light nimble mower. They greatly improved the drive system from the old model........ however, the old model had grease zerks on the front casters and the new model did not. Quickly remedied. The engine kill cable breaks off at the handle bars. A warranty issue quickly fixed. Needs to be a little more robust there. I have 3 mowers and they all broke before the end of May and my friend just lost his here in June on new mowers. So probably needs looked at.

Best ever
Zero turn expedites getting the lawn mowed. Amazing what that feature alone can do. So much quicker and mower performs just like one would hope. Am buying a second one for my son.
