I got mine a few weeks ago. So far, so good. I use premium lead free or "Super" (actually contains about 1.5% ethanol, which is not an issue), but here in Australia, we mow all year round. It has the Powermore Cub Cadet engine, but also a 6 year warranty. Cost me AUD $5200, which is a great price down under. And the design STILL hasn't changed, which suggests they got it right and are sticking with it. Just check the connectors all the way back to the battery to fix those lights. Most likely just debris in a connector.

The problem with the headlights is probably the white connector. Take a small flat blade screwdriver and twist is between the female pin and the plastic body to squeeze the round pin down smaller. This will make a better connection.

I purchased a new 2016 XT2 LX42 KH (22hp) in May 2017 which is similar to CC in video, mow 2-acres. Currently has 325-hours (8th season) and has original spindles, battery, and non-ripped seat (don't use battery tender in winter). Warranty should have fixed headlight problem that started at 6-months. Manual lists maintenance items. I wouldn’t slam a plastic cracked hood myself 12:40 .

Great vid. I just got the same one a couple weeks ago. Love it so far. What type of fuel have you been using? My friend recommend ethanol free fuel. I ended up getting just premium for my first tank. But I wonder if I should go ethanol free from now on

Just go with what the manufacturing suggest. I have a kohler motor on my and 10% max is fine.

Maybe a loose ground wire?

I got the XT1 LT42B with Briggs & Stratton 19HP (EX 1900) a little over a month ago. Great to see Four Years for you so far. I avoided the electronics like lntelliPower, but great to see it’s not a problem.

[@nicktrepasso6126]

Anyone hear which is better between the lt42 or lt42b? I know the 42b is a Briggs engine and the 42 is a “cub cadet” engine but not sure who the manufacturer is and any other differences

[@gjepoli4399]

xt42 has a chinese made engine. i dont recall the exact name but something like power ??? . it has good reviews. a small engine with a lot of power and very dependable according to my research. approximately 15hp. it works for me and my city lot. the b +s engine is my first choice since my child hood , but for my circumstances , the xt42 is fine

[@MarkMeadows90]

There's two versions of the LT42. One has an Intellipower single cylinder engine that is Chinese made, 547cc displacement. The LT42B is the Briggs & Stratton variant with a 540cc single cylinder engine. Pretty much the same lawnmower cosmetically, but with different engines.

@project Auto get one of these to fix your hood...kzbin.info/www/bejne/r56vg2eArpede68si=GShstnypc-PqkY_z&t=930 (tool link) below the video of this lady fixing a chainsaw with it.

[@V200DIESEL]

As a follow up, with about 1 hour on it and an oil leak. More of a nuisance than anything else. Only when running and a drip, drip, drip. By two hours I found it leaking underneath, but engine removal would be needed. Dealer took it in and fixed it (of course under warranty) and it was a cracked sump. I now have it back a look forward to many years.

Crazy but heard not to use hose to clean...bad for electronics? Just bought one...great video
