This is an excellent video. Really deserves more views. This is how you do a product review. Easy to understand, went over everything in depth, kept your camera steady, no cheesy jokes.

This is a very sturdy and well built mower. I thought I wouldn't like the foot operated speed control but after one use kzfaq.infoUgkxTZSPVwJFBv2hORqhQamtxi-tAe5K2EtC , I can't believe I ever had one without it. It drives like a car with an automatic transmission. Easy to adjust mowing speed according to grass depth/thickness. I have yet to get used to the long throw of the blade engagement lever but kind of get why it is that way. It allows you to hold mowing for short moments if you need. The engine seems very substantial and the frame has very little flex, both adding up to an impressive package. All my previous tractors were 18 to21 hp with 42in decks. This one is 23/46. I mow about 1.5 acres about every 5 days here in Alaska and that mowing time has been reduced by about 20%, partly due to the very tight turning radius. No loop arounds lol. Hour meter, cruise control, reverse mowing capability,deck cleanout and easy assembly all add up to a very well thought out tractor.

Thanks for going over the mower so well. I just had mine delivered today, and you made it easy to understand how it operates. Thank you!

I was disappointed that this video was taken down recently due to copyright claims. The original posting of this video was June 2018. All of a sudden it's back minus the 11,000 plus views and a multitude of posted comments. I purchased the Cub Cadet CC 30H this month and this video contributed to that decision. The copyright issue was probably the music soundtrack at the end of the video which is not included now. I imagine your Snapper review from a few years ago suffered the same fate because it also had the same music soundtrack at the end. I subscribed to your channel this time and will be following your exploits. Thank you.

I bought the CC30H in 2016. Good rider, does the job. Maintenance is key….oil and filter changes, air filter cleaning/ changes and new spark plug every 3 years, sharpen the blade spring and fall. With the trees I have in my yard the auto trans is a must for maneuvering.

One of the best reviews on the Cub Cadet I've seen. Thank you so much. I'll be buying when this Covid 19 calms down a bit.

Your video is one of the most thorough and educational overviews! Thank you. Well done.

Using wife's blog. This is her husband cliff. Great video, best explaining and pointing out features of this mower. In peticular the bagging system, which it seemed, lacked in other video's. Planning on getting this mower. I'm 66, augusta Area heat, walking mower on 90 degree days, about had it. Figure about 1/4 acre in grass to cut. Took me solid hour to cut with self propelled walk behind 22 inch mower.

Thank you for this. My mom who is in her 70s bought one and was a big skittish on how to use it. I sent her your video and it helped her out immensely.

I had just been delivered my Cub Cadet 30cch riding mower yesterday and I ha e been waiting 6months since my order. I was told they were on backorder because of the covid-19 virus stopping all production and shipments. Thanks for the through explanation of how to operate my new lawnmower, it is very helpful.

You did a great job going over the mower.Thank you sir.

Thank you, sir! Finally, a thorough overview of all the controls and features.

Yes, it’s the pin....I wish I could snap a pic to show you. The pin was pulled out so I pulled it in. Just waiting a few minutes to try it, don’t want to wake the neighbors. I appreciate your input so very much!!!

Just had to say, this is an EXCELLENT review! Nice job, I wish more people could make product reviews like this, with actual useful information. You have made my riding mower purchase decision much easier, thank you.

Good to know it can drive up a ramp into a trailer or the box of a truck! Great video. I'm looking at a used one for our residential yard.

I got a cc30h in 2020 for my 1/2 acre yard with live oaks in coastal SC I haven't looked back since to the days of push mowing and hand raking. Great machine for the money vacuums lawn like a Kirby does to carpet

Awesome job on Video. If my lawn ends up being mostly flat there is no doubt this will be on my own Xmas list. I like the size for the garage! I agree with 99% of everyone this is going to be my training video on how to do a review! thanks for taking the time to help so many people.

Oil drain tube extension is a great idea!

Excellent review! Just want to mention that it will mow forward even if it is set to allow reverse so I just leave in on yellow with the reverse button pressed for convenience the entire time.

Also, you are correct. This is a nice little mower. Glad I purchased it. I love it! One thing that people should know. The battery is hard to connect if you have big hands like mine without taking the body off, it's not connected when you buy it.

I was looking for a small riding mower and bought this one, It was under powered for my lawn and would bog down to the point that it would almost stall out, I would have to left the deck to keep it from stalling out completely. I returned it and got the Cub Cadet XT1 42" deck, no issue with the power now.

The first change that I would suggest is to replace the 3-in-1 blade with a high lift blade. The 3-in-1 doesn't do anything well. Finding a high lift blade is a challenge in itself. The six point spindle will also fit a 3 opening blade and a rectangular center hole. I found 29 and 7/8 to 30 and 1/16 blade lengths, all lengths fit the deck. Another option would be to use a smooth center hole and file in the star pattern. I have had mine for several months and find it extremely handy between trees and the street where my larger mower will not fit. Mine has a "Good Vibrations" Hitchin' Post" so that it will tote our yard trailer and tow behind yard tools.

Beautiful lawn you have....

Thank you for taking the time to make a review of this mower. The video solidified my decision to purchase that mower. Well done!

You convinced me to get this mower. Love how you explained everything about it! Thank you

EXCELLENT walk-through and review. I just ordered mine today and can't wait to get it!!

Great review! I am considering the 2020 version of this and you have helped me very much. Thank you!

I installed thr drain hose on my CC30H, only problem is that it drains very slow now. The other thing that I used was a half pipe of sheet metal found in the duct work section of my local big box store that works really well to not make a mess while draining the oil. Iv owned mine/ w bagger for 5 years now and overall like it. The chute will get clogged up if cutting longer/wet grass. I kinda have to be selective on when to cut my lawn. I can't cut first thing in morning if its on the longer side cause it will keep getting clogged.

First rate review. Plain and to the point. Kudos.

Great review, I do plan on getting this for my 8 year old sister as a mower to help me out with my business, just to help me out and for a start.

Nice informative video. I am thinking about getting one of these. However, it would have been nice to see you start it up.

just bought one of these, partially based on your wonderful video. now watching it again to see how the blaimed thing works. 1st rider. thanks

great review!!! thanks for the detailed review. . . . I am in cle elum and think i will be getting myself one! very much appreciated!

just bought one and waiting for them to deliver in now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thank you i bought one today hydro the way to go thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Great review! Very thorough and to the point. Thank you!

Excellent video, thank you! Now I can go cut grass like a fool. 😂

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

This video helped me when you mentioned the transmission latch in the back. My cub is cutting unevenly and I have tried to find how to level this particular model. If you could find time to do a video on this I would be very grateful.

Great informative video. Thanks so much!

Good Review, Looking to get one for myself, I am getting tired of pushing my Mower around

I have the 420CC Craftsman 4yrs now. Almost a twin except it's 6speed. When it comes to changing oil (5hrs first, 25 after) may I recommend never remove that drain plug. Way too messy even with the adapter drain. Go get a fluid extractor and pump it out through the oil fill tube. You'll be reaching the same level as the drain plug. I put mine with the right side wheels on 2x4's to give it a little tilt. Get your oil filters online and if you pay more than 10 it's your fault. It's a great motor, even if it's China. Never bogs down on me and the rest is still as good as the day I brought it home.

great job, great pointers good and simple to understand video

They made that after the Troybilts mower , ,just a few things different , but all the same

You’re so wholesome 🤧

Well thought out little machine.

Im new to riding mowers, Im probably purchasing this one this week, my confusion with it is, why does the key have to be in a special position to be able to reverse? Why cant it just reverse when the key is in the on position?

Change the oil without mess?

Just bought one of these I wish someone would have mentioned somewhere that this thing is an absolute wimp on hills. I have to return it. I did like your review however but it's just odd to me that I didn't read one negative thing about this thing being bad with hills.

Really good mower I prefer the mulching kit

Thank you for a great video. Must have missed the part on where you check your oil. Didn't see it...

Great video! Thank you very much for the information.

Well done! Thank you

Very thorough video, thank you. 2 questions, how’s the mower after using a couple seasons and about the bagger... does it fill pretty evenly allowing to fill well and u find the shoot clogs at all or much (dry grass)?

a great walk-around review. thanks.

Thanks for the good video! What do you like more about the Cub compared to the Snapper you had? Did the Snapper not work out for you?

is that headlight worth anything? Can you actually mow at night with that? By the way, you misidentified the beer holder as a "cup holder" at 4:55. So if you notice your mowing lines are too straight and there's no scuff marks on the side of your mower, that's probably caused by insufficient use of the beer holder. Hope this helps...

Love mine!!

Pretty cool 😎

Hi When a bagger in added how munch longer it add to the mower ? More than 12 inch ?

Man it looks great. Thank you for the response. What type of grass is it? I live in Florida and the heat takes a toll on the grass.

Great Vid, most helpful. How do you get your grass so green? Thanks for the details.

How can i disable seat safety switch?

I bought one last year and one of the things I don't like is that the cut height handle sticks out beyond the wheels just enough to get caught on things and leaves a black line on a white fence. I checked online over the weekend and Home Depot stopped offering this mower.

great review!

I Geuss if you think about it you have the same engine as the bigger mowers have just a smaller deck so you still need a good battery to crank it good.

Good review. I learned some things about mine however, you showed the oil drain and the filter but, how do I check the oil? I can't find the dip stick for it?

Great video bubba!!

Where did you get your truck ramps for loading? Good video!

How has you Cub Cadet in 2020. Are you still pleased? Great video.

If you get a chance (when you do it I guess) - post about maintenance and fixing - Remove and sharpen blade - remove deck - Change tires - grease/lubricate (how to and with what) - change oil and filters - most importantly, remove and reinstall belts

Glad u like the rider i made it in willard ohio

There is an empty hole where the manual says an oil dip stick should be so how do I check and should I change the oil?

Could you please take video on the belts decks. I changed belt I put belt back on the belt not engaging. Am appreciat very much.

How did you get the counter weight attached? Drilled your own mounting holes as their is no counter weight for this mower.

any suggestions, bought a new one yesterday, got home, it will not move forward or reverse, and yes I'm using the key correctly

awesome job thank you

how easy is it to change the oil?

I bought the same model this yr. the biggest bitch I have about this model is that in order to check the air filter and pull the dip stick you have to remove the grass Shute.m it is very inconvenient.

Thank you sir

Apparently the 20 second song in the end was a no no. As you probably know, Removed it.

I wonder if it can handle slopes and an acre

Can you add a snowplow attachment? And can you run this in 20 degree weather?

Does the mulching attachment come with the mower or is it an add on?

Thanks for the good video, I've been researching these to buy one but cant find how much room is needed to complety turn 180. I know the turning radius is 18" but would you know how does that relate to total space needed to make a comlete 180 turn?

Great video, thank you. I have been researching this mower for a while, and your video helped me to decide to get this one. Does the unit come with the oil already in it? I am going to buy a drainzit extension for oil changes. Oh, and you did not cover how the steering wheel telescopes, but I suppose that is the lever at the top of the yellow housing, to the right on the steering column.

Would you please advise what each length, with, and height are with the bagging system attached? We're looking into getting a rider and space is a big constraint.

How has this unit stood up after three and a half years and how does it handle damp or wet grass. Does the discharge chute cog up?

Whats the part number on the front counterweight?

Did you ever install a drain tube/extension as far as I can tell the drain plug is 3/8 npt type tread? The oil drain & refill is nonsense on these units

Just purchased mine. Waiting on delivery. 1299 Delivery fee waived (55) 10% off also For a total of 1265 Can't wait to see the wife mow the lawn 😂😂😂

Not fun in how to put the mower in reverse. But I really like this machine.

Since you had a Snapper, how does it compare? How much of these mowers are made in the USA? Thx.

Does the mower have oil when shipped to your home?

Does it cut in reverse?

Where is the spark plug?

I was able to plug the battery, check oil, add gas, and ignite the engine; i can’t get it to move, am i missing something?

How does this compare to the Snapper Classic?

so how is it a year later?

Sir, now that you e had this mower for a few months, how would you rate it? Thanks for the thorough content and video.
