Cub Cadet XT2 QS117 Garden Tractor

Tame long-grass in meadows, paddocks and orchards in quick-time with this 117cm side-discharge and mulch-capable garden-tractor from Cub Cadet.

Under the bonnet is a Kawasaki FR691V engine; an advanced 726cc four-stroke OHV power-pack with a 90° V-Twin cylinder-configuration for high torque-output and quiet, low-vibration operation; and full-pressure lubrication that ensures you’ll be able to work on marked inclines without problem.

Electric key start eliminates ignition-headaches; while cast-iron cylinder-linings deliver long-term reliability.

The Cub Cadet XT2 QS117 is fitted with large-diameter, wide-profile rear-tyres, so it will take slopes, rough ground and wet conditions in its stride; and it benefits from Cub Cadet’s RevTEK™ mow-in-reverse technology, which means you can elect to back-up with the blades still engaged, should it be necessary.

A class-leader when it comes to manoeuvrability, the Cub Cadet XT2 QS117 Garden Tractor has an ultra-tight 17cm turning-circle and features an intuitive, infinitely-variable foot-pedal-operated hydrostatic transmission that gives ‘car-like’ control of the ground-speed (forward and reverse).

A fully-adjustable high-backed seat and light-touch steering via a soft-grip steering-wheel make it a pleasure to drive; while a cruise-control function means you can give your foot and ankle a rest when undertaking long, obstacle-free passes.

So as to ensure the XT2 QS117 will cope with continuous heavy-duty use, Cub Cadet have equipped it with a cast-iron front axle and have constructed it around a robotically-welded, heavy-gauge steel frame with a corrosion-preventing E-Coating. Further enhancing durability is a fabricated steel cutter-deck.

It boasts Bluetooth connectivity, so you'll be able to keep track of service intervals and status via your smartphone; and it has a cup-holder that means you can keep your refreshment of choice directly to hand.
