Cub Cadet XT1 LT42 IntelliPower 42" Riding Lawn Mower

Precision, power, and comfort—all packed into one compact mowing machine. The Cub Cadet XT1 LT42 with IntelliPower™ technology is designed for homeowners who demand reliable performance and clean, consistent results. Its 547cc Cub Cadet engine dynamically adjusts power output to maintain blade speed in heavy conditions, giving you smoother cuts and less bog-down in thick grass.

The 42-inch stamped steel deck is engineered for airflow, durability, and top-tier bagging performance. Paired with a foot-controlled hydrostatic transmission, there’s no gear shifting—just press the pedal and go.

The XT1 LT42 was built for comfort too. A 15-inch high-back cut-and-sew seat with a 10-degree incline supports you through every ride, while the AGM battery ensures strong, season-to-season starting with virtually no maintenance.

Tight turns? No problem. A 16-inch turning radius lets you navigate around trees and garden beds with ease. The intuitive lever-controlled PTO engages the blades effortlessly, and with 12 cutting height positions, you can fine-tune your finish to match your lawn’s needs.

Need to work in the dark or during cloudy weather? LED headlights keep your path lit. Planning for year-round use? Add optional attachments like a twin bagger, mulch kit, or snow blade and turn your mower into a four-season utility machine.

With a 3-year unlimited-hour warranty and a 5-year frame warranty, the XT1 LT42 delivers more than just a clean cut—it delivers long-term value.
