But, it only lasted 0.3 hours. My new Cub Cadet 1046VT now has a severely bent blade, the result of hitting a tree root that my Cub Cadet 147 had kept shaved down. The blade bent so far that the tip contacted the ground, dug up dirt and stones. The impact knocked the bagger chute off the mount and it dropped into the blade cavity, making contact with the side of the blade that wasn't bent.
I shut it down immediately. After I discovered the damage, I drove it back to the barn, removed the deck (which is really easy to do) and loaded it into the truck to drop it off at the dealer's on my way to work, tomorrow.
One of the reasons I bought a new tractor was that I was sick and tired of having to repair the CC 147 every time I wanted to use it.
