I can get them for the same price , the craftsman has no gauges or bells and whistles like the cub cadet , also the cub has a kawaski thats v twin while the craftsman Kohler courage is single cylinder ?.

only thing i've seen negative on the cub is the bagger seems to be crap ( is that true ?)

finally which would you buy at the same price (about $1,500 after cashback)

the craftsman has 8 turn while cub cadet is 12 , does that really matter .

just looking for the better made one is all really

here they are

46 in. 20 HP Kawasaki Hydrostatic Lawn Tractor-13WG91AT056 at The Home Depot

Sears: Online department store featuring appliances, tools, fitness equipment and more

about 1 & 1/2 acre use 3 times a week , kinda hilly and slopes thanx:smile:

The Cub Cadet would be the better of the two mowers in my opinion. The Cub Cadet you need to buy from a dealer not Home Depot and I think you'll find he will match the HD price and you'll get the service as well. As far as the turning radius goes there's not enough to really matter.

I would recommend the Cub Cadet and mulching blades setup in lieu of the bagger. The 12" turning radius is a more reasonable expectation with this type rider, frequent tight turns without the proper setup arrangement will damage the lawn over time. If you are intent on using a bagger then ask the CC dealer if high lift blades are available.
