Mowing

Warning! To help avoid blade contact or a thrown object injury, keep bystanders, helpers, children and pets at least 75 feet from the machine

while it is in operation. Stop the machine if anyone enters the area.

The following information will be helpful when using the cutting deck with your tractor.

Warning! Plan your mowing pattern to avoid discharge of materials toward roads, sidewalks, bystanders and the like. Also, avoid discharging material against a wall or obstruction which may cause discharged material to ricochet back toward the operator.

•Do not mow at high ground speed, especially if a mulch kit or grass collector is installed.

•Do not cut the grass too short. Short grass is prone to weed growth and yellows quickly in dry weather.

•Always operate the tractor with the throttle lever in the FAST (rabbit) position while mowing.

•For best results it is recommended that the first two laps be cut with the discharge thrown towards the center. After the first two laps, reverse the direction to throw the discharge to the outside for the balance of cutting. This will give a better appearance to the lawn.

•Do NOT attempt to mow heavy brush and weeds or extremely tall grass. Your tractor is designed to mow lawns,

NOT clear brush.

•Keep the blades sharp and replace the blades when worn.

SLTX1054 specifications

The Cub Cadet SLTX1054 is a robust riding lawn mower designed for homeowners seeking power, precision, and ease of use in lawn care. With its strong build and user-friendly features, this mowing machine stands out in the crowded market of garden equipment.

One of the key features of the SLTX1054 is its powerful 26-horsepower Kohler engine. This V-twin engine ensures efficient performance, offering plenty of torque for tough mowing jobs. The engine is designed with durability in mind, allowing for consistent performance over time, even in demanding conditions.

The 54-inch cutting deck is another notable aspect of the SLTX1054. This wide deck allows for expansive coverage, making it ideal for medium to large lawns. The deck is equipped with a combination of high-performance blades that deliver a clean cut, promoting healthier grass growth. With adjustable cutting heights ranging from 1.5 inches to 4 inches, homeowners can customize their mowing experience based on their lawn's specific needs.

The Cub Cadet SLTX1054 also showcases advanced technologies that enhance usability. The hydrostatic transmission offers smooth acceleration and effortless operation. This feature enables the operator to control the mower's speed with a simple push of the pedal, eliminating the need for gear shifting, which can be cumbersome on traditional lawn tractors.

Another highlight is the tight turning radius, which allows users to maneuver easily around flower beds, trees, and other obstacles. This agility reduces the need for additional trimming and provides a cleaner finish overall. The comfortable, adjustable high-back seat ensures an enjoyable driving experience for longer mowing tasks, reducing fatigue for the operator.

The SLTX1054 is also equipped with a dash-mounted deck lift, enabling users to raise and lower the mowing deck conveniently without leaving the driver's seat. This feature simplifies transitions between different cutting heights, making it easier to adapt to changing terrains.

Durability is a hallmark of the Cub Cadet brand, and the SLTX1054 is no exception. With its reinforced steel frame and rugged construction, this mower is built to withstand the rigors of regular lawn maintenance. Its tough, powder-coated finish adds an extra layer of protection against rust and corrosion.
