Love my (real) Cub Cadet. I have the LXT4500 and it's been great. I'm very hard on it too. Pulled small landscape bush stumps by jerking them out. Haven't had any issues at all. I broke the blade drive belt once but that was 3 years old and I was mowing 6" tall rough with it. They recommend changing the drive belt with the oil every 50 hours. My mower is now about 8 years old and I'm still on the 2nd belt.

Oh, and I haven't raked leaves once since I got it. I blow them into a pile them run the pile over several times with the mulching cover on the mower deck, then switch to the vacuum bag and suck them up. Takes me about an 2 hours to de-leaf my .75 ached lawn. I do it two or three times each fall while having a few beers and listening to the pats game.
