Now I just have to figure out what to do with the GTX 2100. Last night, the wife said if we keep it, we can have "His & Hers" mowers? Of course, when she said His, she pointed to the GTX. And "Hers", she pointed to the XT3! Things could be alot worse, I guess! Both are pretty nice!
Time to clean the GTX up nicer than the XT3

No cost!
Other than testing the diff/lock, occasionally. I really don't use it on my XT3 GSX. It just nice to know it's there if I ever do need it
Having the GTX 2100 and XT3 GSX sitting side by side in the garage, there are only a few differences. The XT3 has the differential lock, the big tube grille protector, a 25hp motor compared to a 23hp in the GTX, and a better heat shield around the muffler. That helps keep the plastic hood from melting!Other than testing the diff/lock, occasionally. I really don't use it on my XT3 GSX. It just nice to know it's there if I ever do need it
I have 3 Garden and 1 Compact tractor with diff/lock. At our Current home, I have never had to use the feature. Our Vacation Home if a different story. But most of the time we our out there, I barrow My Neighbor's Simplicity Legacy XL or His JD 5E or 5R Utility Tractors. Only my previous JD X485 and Current JD X748, JD 2025R & Cub SX54 have been brought out there which is about 2.5 hrs west of here. His 4WD Simplicity legacy XL was in 4WD, and I had to use diff/lock on top of that to get unstuck one day after we have torn down the Beaver ***. That title wave of water inundated the area the Tractor was in and turned the dirt on our makeshift Berm into soupy mud, I bet a 2WD with Just diff Lock would have been stuck on that berm But there our also some grass slopes on our 18 acre vacation property where I do use diff/lock on the Legacy XL Because I don't want to Mow In 4WD. Terrible turn radius. The diff/lock really does help you climb those slopes. But My XT3 GSX has never been used off our current home property, which is fairly flat except for one small gradual slope
looks great what motor has she got ?
It's a Kohler CH740 25hp. I really haven't used it much yet. Waiting on the grass to grow! But, I've been reading about others on here that do impressive things with their XT3's.
Mow a different angle to get that "manicured" look on the lawn, see no problem getting back that extra seat time! 😁
Invest In a 42-inch deck 42" Deck Attachment (Black) - XT3 Garden Tractor - 19B40012100 | Cub Cadet US a Local Cub dealer can find out when the supposed date it is supposed to be available again
I used to be that way. But since I mow twice a week when we are not in drought conditions, I would rather be faster, so that is why I mow with a zero turn. So I can use my tractors for projects and not have to constantly mount or unmount a mowing deck.
I understand, but my lawn is not even close to smooth enough to fly over it on a zero turn. Since I've retired, mowing the lawn has taken on new meaning and not just something I had to do after work. I have a dedicated mowing Cub, a 3208 and with it's suspension seat I can actually enjoy the ride.I used to be that way.

My lawn is not smooth either; I wish it was. I was reminded this afternoon that the front yard is Leach Field, and it sunk where all the Leach Field pipes are. The front will finally be a project for next year.
