A childhood memory
I am a fan of Cub Cadet garden tractor. My grandfather had an International Cub Cadet from around 1965 and have found memories of him using it to blow snow into large mounds for us kids to play on; and pulling us around in a trailer (mid 1970s so different times) around the neighborhood in a rural town in MN; and me using it to mow the lawn at the cottage. It still runs to this day but another family member has it. I now live in NE Florida and am 55 years old - the time of pushing a mower around in 95 degree heat has come to an end. So when I decided to buy a riding mower I just had to buy a Cub Cadet. I do wish the mower deck had rear anti-scraping wheels though. I also wish the motor would continue to run when I get off of it to empty the bags. I can understand the blades disengaging, but do not understand why the engine has to shut off. This is a bad design (safety feature) as the engine keeps having to shut off and start up. Please fix this issue; I see no reason for the engine to shut off when not sitting on it. Put it in neutral and engage parking brake should be sufficient safety.
