At the heart of the 721E is its dependable 2-stage system, which efficiently displaces snow with remarkable speed and effectiveness.

The 721E is equipped with an adjustable chute, allowing operators to change the direction of snow discharge with ease. The chute rotation lever can be operated from the control panel, enabling quick adjustments without leaving the operator's station. Additionally, the 8-inch impeller works in tandem with the chute system, facilitating an impressive throwing distance which can reach up to 30 feet.

Safety and comfort have also been prioritized in the design of the 721E. The unit features ergonomic handles with a soft-touch grip, enhancing operator comfort during prolonged use. It also integrates a headlight to illuminate the path ahead in low-light conditions, ensuring visibility during early morning or evening snow clearing sessions.

Durability is another hallmark of the Cub Cadet 721E.
