On the new Cub Cadet mower engines:
I e-mailed MTD and asked about the "Cub Cadet" engines that they are using
'Who is the manufacturer of the 173cc Cub Cadet engine on the CC-500 mower'
They answered
'The engine is a product of a joint venture between Cub Cadet and a major engine manufacturer. It is built to Cub Cadet specifications and is accordingly labeled as a Cub Cadet engine'
I then asked
'Is this "major engine manufacturer" Chinese?'
They answered
'Yes, the engine supplier’s manufacturing facility is located in Chongqing, China.'
I wouldn't be interested in the Chinese engine but has anyone used the CC-989 model (with Honda engine). I've read good reviews but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with these machines.
Thanks, Brian L
