I bought a huge 2024 (March 13) Troy-Bilt Super Bronco 50K XP, serie 7000 Kohler, 24 HP (725 cc) black and dark grey three weeks ago and honestly, excluding some 3-4 things, both tractors look the same, just their designs and colors change. I think that is just a question of personal choice and personality because since MTD ownes (almost) all riding mowers (troybilt, craftsman, cub cadet, etc), replacement parts (atlas, mtd, cc, tb etc) look all the same in every catalogs so it's easy to change x part to another... PS note : I called Cub Cadet "Bee" and my Troy-Bilt... "Black Widow" "(^ . ^)"... I am very satisfied of my tractor and I love it... it goes with the girl I am !

Hi! You made a nice video. I have an MTD tractor, also a two-cylinder, but with a Thorx engine. I am still satisfied after two years of use, but you have to think about lubricating all moving parts, and the seller did not recommend rinsing the knives with water. When water and cut grass come into contact, acid escapes, which eats away at the mowing device. I always clean it with a plastic scraper and once a year I take the scythe outside and coat everything.

It looks to me that it was not properly seated in the block form the factory, as the first couple threads in the block are stripped and will not accept the male end of the drain plug. Other than that, I'm very happy with the performance.

It’s a MTD with Cub Cadet color and badging. Stamped decks are horrible, the spindles are garbage. You can’t grease them unless you put a grease fittings in them. The best thing you have is the Kohler 7000 model engine and it’s not great. Maintenance is key. Be gentle and do preventative maintenance constantly and it will last you. If you don’t keep the blades sharp you’ll be replacing blades, belts and spindles. Good luck.
