I just bought a 2018 Cub Cadet XT2 LX42. I am so disappointed in it. It drives very slow and hardly goes backward. Its like it doesn’t have enough power. I am in tears thinking that I spent all of my money on this brand name tractor that doesn’t go forward or backwards very fast.
Something is wrong. I have the same tractor and has great speed both forward and reverse. Mine is equipped with Kohler s 22hp engine. Great tractor.
