INDUSTRY-LEADING, HEAVY-DUTY  
COMMERCIAL GRADE FRAME
The 3/8" x 5" laser cut full-length steel frame features convenient tie-down 
slots for transporting. The heavy-duty frame absorbs the stress of hours of 
operation over rough terrain and the full-length frame is stronger and more 
robust than competitors with a bolt-together design. Cub Cadet supports this 
new frame technology with a limited lifetime warranty.
†
UNBEATABLE CORROSION PROTECTION AND DURABILITY 
Provides twice the protection against unforgiving environmental conditions 
while ensuring even the most complex parts are thoroughly and evenly 
coated inside and out with an electronically-applied dual layer of eCoat and 
powder. Now that’s a smart investment.
PROFESSIONAL POWER FOR UNMATCHED RESULTS
High-performance commercial-grade engines with a heavy-duty remote 
canister air filtration system deliver longer engine life, more efficient 
performance and simple maintenance across the line.
