Cub cadet SDL 972 mowing hillsides like flats

[@OfficialHankIII]

YOU GETTING CLOSE TO NEEDING A CID XTREME 60 INCH BRUSH CUTTER TO MOUNT TO THE FRONT OF A SKID STEER~

[@americandream_89]

For sure

[@OfficialHankIII]

You will be surprised how clean of a cut you can get with a cid 60 inch lo flow system with a perkins off in it.When cutting 5 to 8 feet brush and saplings.Gotta love when your cutter cuts grass before wheels lay it down before the blades get to it.Ive had mine on the skid steer for almost 8 years same set off blades ....For lo flo and bang for the buck it out performs mulching heads in many ways~@@americandream_89

Great video! Thanks for sharing. Did you later buy this mower for yourself? Also, what is your opinion of the cut quality?

[@americandream_89]

I’ve been impressed in many aspects with this Cub. It cuts well and has great discharge. Also laid down some pretty good stripes. I didn’t buy this unit. I personally can’t keep a straight line as well with the steering wheel. If someone had insane Hillside, though, this is the Mower for them. I also enjoyed the hydraulic deck way more than I thought it would.

[@dlmp70]

@@americandream_89I hear you about the straight lines. I’ve wondering about them myself. With power steering I wasn’t sure that it’s easy to keep a straight line and you seem to confirm my doubts.

@@dlmp70 if you’re trying to lay down, Perfect stripes or patterns, I don’t think anybody would be as happy with this Mower in comparison to lap bars

@@americandream_89 but that SurePath upgrade would give lap bar models a run for their money, won’t it?

Impressive mowers, Cub Cadet needs a diesel version, 72” deck with a gas engine has to drink the fuel !

[@americandream_89]

I’ve been really pushing this mower with the 38.5 Kawasaki and it keeps RPM so well. So far it seems decent on fuel also. Diesel will always do better though

[@paulmollise1856]

@@americandream_89 I have 27 hp Kawasaki motors in my Deere tractors great engines !!

[@dlmp70]

I agree that a diesel option would be awesome. BUT they’ve GOT to make it larger than 25 hp for it to be meaningful in terms of power and torque, and, in doing so, they will enter the DPF and associated emissions protocols. I’m not sure Cub Cadet wants to dabble in those issues.
