Cub Cadet XT2 LX42 Enduro Series 42 in. 20 HP Riding Lawn Mower

The Cub Cadet XT2 LX42 from the Enduro Series is a 42-inch, 20 HP riding lawn mower equipped with an AeroForce fabricated deck, designed to deliver a premium cut with few clumps and stragglers, fine clippings and an even finish. Its hydrostatic transmission helps provide smooth operation, and the adjustable cut-and-sew 15-inch high-back seat is designed to keep you comfortable while you mow.

Kohler twin-cylinder power

A 20 HP / 747cc twin-cylinder Kohler 7000 Series HD engine is designed to deliver reliable power to take on your yard. It starts with an electric starter and ignition key, and uses fully pressurized lubrication with an oil filter.

AeroForce fabricated cutting deck

The 42-inch deck is fabricated from 11-gauge steel. Cub Cadet tested this AeroForce cutting system to deliver a cut with fewer clumps and finer clippings. Twelve height positions cover a 1 to 4 inch range, and two gauge wheels help prevent scalping. A deck wash port makes cleaning easier.

Smooth hydrostatic drive

The Tuff Torq K46 hydrostatic transmission uses a robust transaxle with smooth response, making it easy to drive at consistent speeds of up to 5.5 MPH (8.6 km/h). Speed is controlled with a foot pedal, and cruise control is included.

Comfort, steering and protection

The 15-inch cut-and-sew seat has armrests, a 10-degree incline and slide slope. Automotive-inspired steering gives a 16-inch turning radius, and ball bearings on the front wheels allow friction-free rotation. A heavy-duty steel tube bumper protects the front end, and dual LED headlights help you see in low-visibility conditions.
