I stopped by my local Home Depot yesterday and they had the CC SLT1550 on sale for $1999. It's normally $2499. I thought these things never went on sale. The sign said they had 8 to get rid of. It's more tractor than I was considering but this might get me off the fence.

Sounds good - now go to a CC dealer and see if he will match it.
Better to buy from a dealer than a Big Box Store if you can.

I'm sure it's a clearance price and nobody will likely match it. None of the other CC models were marked down, at least not yet.

It wouldn't hurt to ask the dealer anyway.
The worst he can do is say no;but what if he says yes?
So it was marked down at HD then how do you know it's not marked down at the dealer also unless you ask?!

That is where the whole thing with the box stores gets confusing. Those stores don't explain that they don't do service, and the local dealers aren't obligated to do warranty service on machines they did not sell. In some areas where a BBS buyer can't find a local dealer to do service, this can make the great sounding Cub Cadet three year warranty worth about as much as the piece of paper it's printed on, and of course the buyer is responsible for transporting the tractor to and from a dealer.

Even if you buy the chepest of cheap Craftsman LT, during the initial warranty period Sears will come right to your house to fix your tractor for free. That adds an interesting twist to buyers in the LT market. That initial savings at the box store can add up to one big PIA if warranty issues should arise.

Recently started looking at new tractors as my old craftsman is on it's way out. Knew I wanted JD or CC. Local JD dealer is very nice, but local CC dealer is a d*ck, which was pushing me toward JD.

Went into Home Depot yesterday to pick up a couple things needed for around the house... Had seen both CC & JD before in HD, but really preferred to purchase from local dealer instead. HD had a deal on the SLT1550 that I couldn't pass up, however. They are clearancing the SLT1550's right now. Had it marked $1799 + I got to use a 10% off Lowes moving coupon. Brought it to $1620 + tax. :D Guess I'll deal with the need to use the dealer later... Hopefully the need won't arise.

Edit...

PS - It's way more tractor than I needed also, but at the price I got it for, it's actually cheaper than almost every other tractor (sans the LT1040).

Cub Cadets are tough units. Most never need repair. Cub Cadet has in place a "Service Locator" on it web page. It asks if you purchased the unit from HD or a dealer, you enter your zip code and it will provide a listing of service locations and their phone numbers. Also most HD's will provide the name of the service provider they use at time of purchase. I have never had a "Non Serviceing Dealer" refuse to sell me non-warranty part, filters, oil, belts and blades etc. at a cost different than they sell to someone who purchased a unit from them. HD also has one feature most dealers do not have, a "VERY - VERY LIBERAL RETURN POLICY."

Go here for the Cub Cadet site.

Search for Service Location

Enjoy your new Cub -- Happy grass cutting.
