@@daveerrington5166 just did the same thing last weekend. Same trail too lol.

@@John_Fx luckily, it comes with a built in cup holder 😂😂😂

@@IOSALive thank you so much! We appreciate your support and hope you find value in the content.

@@jamiemccann3754 I’ve had it over 2 years now. Runs great. Have had 0 issues. Original battery as well. People are having engine troubles or issues with the tractors themselves? I’ve not paid any attention due to my personal experience

@@vafafarzaneh4815 a weak battery wouldn’t even be a thought when purchasing but that is a bummer about the trans. Which model do you have? I picked this specific one in part for the transmission in it.

@@doubleahomestead7794 It was XT1 enduro 50” with Fab deck , by now i have replace the AGM battery 2 different time

@@vafafarzaneh4815 that’s a bummer. I don’t have the enduro series. Maybe there is a difference. I’ve had this for two years now. Never hooked to a tender and I’m in Michigan where we get some cold winters. Original battery. I’ll hook to tender this year

@@doubleahomestead7794 My old Cub cadet lasted me 14 years, and still did well, they get cheaper every year, they even say some of the transmission used to be made out aluminum but they are plastic now, I hope urs is the good once, good luck, the AGM battery is so small, u cant even use a regular size batter due to lack of space, but u have been very luck, take care

@@leo959 if I don’t get this brush hog rebuilt for my tractor then I will next year. Our property gets so wet I have to wait until the weeds are this tall to mow trails through my hunting area. I could easily run the drone and setup a go pro on the lawn tractor. 2 years of this, I could use some new blades now lol.

@@aronp713 they have them at a lot of stores. Mine came from tractor supply. But I always liked Home Depot. The one in the video is still going strong. Could probably use some new blades as I basically use it as a brush hog also 😂

@@doubleahomestead7794 just ordered a Continental replacement battery. I’m cranking one up this weekend. I purchased it from my cousin. It’s not a brand new one, but it’s used and hopefully this thing is amazing. Thank you so much for your response.

@@MySvestka thank you very much for the kind words and information.

@@jerryrigsit5400 thank you so much. We put our heart and soul into it.

@@PainterD54 good suggestion. I’ll have to get some measurements and do that. I have enough wood to get us through this next winter also so I’ll be splitting more in spring 2025.

Right now. Our selves. We are trying to find someone that will do it in our area though, really don’t have time to do it plus no plucker yet.

@@doubleahomestead7794 Closest butcher that we have used is Smokin Butcher in Decatur. We have a plucker and have done our own as well, but it does take a lot of time.

@@aaronscovill5161 sound pretty local to me. If you got here from my fb then send me a message on there and you can come take a look at the tractor your self and test it out if you’d like to.

I have a video I did on it also. I think it’s titled how did we get this TYm tractor so cheap. So far I’m happy with it. 120 hours on it. Need to do another update video on it soon. I liked the 474 because it’s popular so parts availability should be long term and of course its ability for the price point.

@@KrayZJoy Thank you! We appreciate that. Andrew worked really hard to give our ladies such an amazing place to live.

@@francescohen8666 this was before I learned people show gardening videos on CZcams so my pronunciation of DE is way off lol. But thank you for watching one of our original videos, glad it helped

@@graciemcclellan6875 every single duck is super happy right now enjoying their pool time. 0 injuries.

@@bastardoazteca8094 good luck to you. Idk how many we had when this video was made but now there are 8 hens free ranging. 18 in the run. And there’s an additional 5 babies hatched by our buff in the run.

That’s a great point. We played again tonight. They love a good game of stay away from the big scary man when it’s bed time 😂😂 All in their coop safe and sound though. Every day is getting easier thankfully

Glad to hear you are liking it. Bummer about the plug. I suppose these things happens here and there. Always sucks to be the unfortunate one though. I was just out mowing the chest high weeds in the field yesterday. It’s so wet I can’t do it until now. It’s still going strong, I just need to throw some new blades on it. Think I’m at 80 hours of hard mowing so far

I saw someone else mention that as well. If I had a cement driveway I think I’d feel more comfortable doing that

Can’t see any snakes 🤷🏻‍♂️

What? It was at one point. Need some more context with your comment 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@doubleahomestead7794 Sorry I meant you need to make sure the deck is all the way down when using the deck wash. I have seen other you tube videos that showed it didn't work very well until the deck was dropped. Then it made a world of difference. I liked this video.. I just purchased one of these and this video helped me to decide, thank you.

@@mikebarron8702 that makes sense. I don’t have a great spot to try that at. Dropping it all the way on the gravel driveway doesn’t seem like The best option for me. But I can certainly see why that would help. Maybe I’ll have to find a way to try that. Thank you.

May have to lol.

We just stopped it. Perhaps that’s why 🤷🏻‍♂️ They are all huddle up under the heat plate so I need to make adjustments to it as the temperature drops outside. The live should be getting posted to our videos so you can go and watch all 45 minutes whenever you want to 😁

I’d say it’s perfect. Seeing some recent comments go with the 50” as it comes with the better trans

Thanks for the tip.

I really appreciate the kind words. We don’t get much out of these videos but comments like this, make it ALL worth it. Now that we have our big tractor I still wouldn’t get a zero turn. I’d buy this lawn tractor again. Thanks again. Enjoy the new purchase. You won’t be disappointed.

No warranty?

Type that into Amazon. I did a quick search. It’s $750 but the trans is a tuff torq. I’m trying to do some more research. While doing my research it did seem this is the Achilles heal of the entire mower but so far so good for me. If mine fails I have nothing to lose but to take it apart and see if I can repair it. Unless Cub wants to help me out but you know how that goes. If I find another trans I’ll let you know CUB CADET 918-07207A Transmission Assembly Enduro XT1 XT2 LT LX 42 46 50 Tractor

@@RJJackson09 luckily it's still under warranty .

You have the XT1 LT50? Just did a little bit more research. Mind has the Tuff torq k46 supposedly. Then the smaller decks may have the TL-200 which is a weaker trans. I thought I had read a couple years ago guys were putting a slightly beefier tuff torq on theirs. I hope this info helps and sorry you are having issues. Please update us if you find a solution that’s cheaper

@@doubleahomestead7794 I like to know what failed in the transmission . It shouldn't have failed at 35.8 hours .

And we have a ton of them along our driveway.

When should I expect these issues to begin?

I’ve used it a couple times. Been a while. If memory serves me correct you push down the lever you use for the parking brake while moving and it’ll hold that speed?

@doubleahomestead7794 correct! I only have 2 acres to cut but mine is 90% straight flat runs so I'll definitely be using it from now on now that I know how lol

Glad you enjoyed it. Without watching it back, I believe that’s our ground works wagon that we got at tractor supply. I believe the capacity is around 800-1000lbs if I’m not mistaken. It was super handy around the homestead before we got our big tractor. Now it’s only used during gardening season. We have a smaller gorilla wagon that’s nice as well.

Why is that? Wouldn’t you want to disengage first as you want to start up with it disengaged. I didn’t read the manual so perhaps I missed something

Interesting info. Thanks for sharing.

Honestly, I don’t have a lot to say negative. The only thing that is frustrating is your knee can bump the key ever so slightly and it will turn off the mower in reverse option. I think I may just disable the safety switch so I don’t have to worry about it cutting out. No complaints though, I just fired it up 2-3 weeks ago from storage. Left the battery in mower all winter. No battery tender hooked up. No issues. I’ll pull battery to tender this winter though being year 3

Those old machines just won’t die. Love it.
