Cub Cadet SLT 1550 Garden Tractor Review

By Janet Ashby

Overall the Cub Cadet SLT 1550 is a good lawn tractor with good performance for large lawns and yards. The powerful 25 hp Kohler engine has twin overhead valves and there is a hydrostatic transmission system. The top forward speed is 5.2 mph and it copes with inclines well.

The deck is a large 50″ which can be adjusted for 1.5 to 4″ cutting heights. The deck is stable at all heights but the draft can cause discharges to be inconsistent handling in normal conditions is smooth and this garden tractor is suitable for light duty and medium duty tasks. The machine is quiet even when climbing uphill or when cutting through long grass and thickets.

The fuel tank is larger than some at 3 1/2 gallons so you won’t have to stop to refuel very often! The turn radius is rather large at 21″ so cutting around obstacles can be difficult. The large cutting deck and fast speed however should make up for the extra time this costs.

There are many attachments available including snow thrower and snow blades and the engine is powerful enough for efficiently dealing with snow. Other attachments available include a sprayer that is pulled behind the tractor, a bagging system and various pull carts. The Cub Cadet SLT 1550 operates smoothly with any of these attachments.

The Cub Cadet SLT 1550 is particularly suitable for large yards and is a powerful, smoothly operating garden tractor.

Advantages

Excellent power, large cutting deck, smooth handling

Disadvantages

Some inconsistency in discharging
