Mixed Results Cub 5252
Model Year: 2003
We also have the front end loader and the 48" snowblower. We used to have a mower deck, which was terrible, breaking something almost every season. The belts were *extremely* tight, impossible to assemble at home. Very unhappy with the mower deck. We lost the transmission; I suspect the oil level was set wrong in the shop. The sight glass is easy to misread. The snowblower is our major use (1/4 mile driveway), it has absorbed a lot of punishment from rocks. The loader works fine. We should have bought a 4wd tractor, but were already way over budget.
Pros: Easy to change accessories, powerful.
Cons: Uncertain reliability, hard to get parts.
