2011 Cub Cadet Volunteer™ 4x4 D

Please club me in the head with a blunt object if I ever waste my money on a cub cadet product again. I wasted three thousand on a mower that stalls if you have grass over and inch and it looks like I had blind goats eating my grass. Then in a moment of stupidity due to a flexible pay plan I bought ... a volunteer. This thing rides and drives like a tank Every time it goes to the dealer he charges me over a hundred dollars in repairs and many of them are just poor design flaws that cause things to brake like a hose rubbing against a fly wheel. With the snow blade and bed coating I paid over 10,000 for this and was told that I can now get about 5,000 out of it. Well as Forrest said stupid is as stupid does and this stupid is done with all thing cadet.

don not buy these glorified golf carts. I have had 2 of these in a matter of 10 months. One gas and one diesel. They are both junk. had the gas one for 7 months was in the shop 6 times so cub cadet told me they would trade me for the diesel one so i did (I was without a machine for 6 weeks). Now ... i have had the diesel for 2 months and it has been in the shop 2 times. It has multiple things wrong with it. Im asking for a refund from cub cadet cause these side by sides are not for anyone who goes in the woods or uses it for work. there in the shop more than there in your yard.

If you are considering one of these I would urge you to take your time and investigate befor you buy. I wish that I had. I was totally unfamiliar with this unit when I started looking.I looked at all of the other major brands and the one thing that I knew that I wanted was diesel for its economy ... .I will say that it is economical. I have over 21 hrs on it and haven't filled the second time.The noise is the problem. If you enjoy rattly diesel noise this unit is sure to please. It is almost unbearable. The other problem is the price of accessories.The price of one door for the cab (you don't buy a cab, you have to buy the components individually)is in excess of $1600.00.No, that is not a misprint, sixteen hundred dollars.The piece of plexiglass that you can buy at Menards for $70.00 is $375.00 at the acessory store.It comes with no tail lights and you will need them and signals if you are to ride in gated communites the price for the light set is over$350.00.As you can see if you need these you need to bargain for them at thee dealer so that you can see the total cost before you buy. The good name brands (Polaris--John Deere---Arctic Cat --Kawasaki)come with many of these things already on the units.CHECK OUT THE TOTAL COST BEFORE YOU BUY.

A great machine that works hard and plays hard. Had the machine over a month dose everything I want it to do. Engine has plenty of power and I have 20 hours on the machine and haven't filled up yet. All my friends love it
