We bought a new XT2 from tractor supply in 2019. Used it for one season and then the trouble began. 1st the front tire began to lose air, next the starter solenoid quit working after buying a new battery! Now the rear tire loses air and the motor won't stay running, after using ethanol free gas it's entire life! I never thought these mowers were such junk, then I realized that MTD bought the name and used their [censored]ty quality standards, thus ending the reputation of a trusted company! Never again will I buy or recommend a cub cadet product!!
