THE STRENGTH OF VERSATILITY.
Dial up the versatility of your rider by adding hard-working attachments that let you tackle your
landscape with confidence and ease, year after year.
CUB CADET HAULER:
Featuring four collapsible sides, the Hauler
can be folded flat for larger loads. Side
access allows for easy unloading, and
10 cu. ft. offers plenty of space. When
folded flat, it takes up 70% less space
than a typical cart.
LIGHT KIT:
High illumination LED’s light up your mowing path,
and provide safer mower operation in low visibility
conditions for the ability to mow in early mornings
or late evenings.

Enhance the Cub Cadet Signature Cut™ with
breakthrough bagging performance. Twin and
triple bagger options available to fit every tractor.

This 44" lawn sweeper has a brush that picks
up more while skipping less. A 25 cu. ft. hopper
to hold it all, and a dumping mechanism that
lets you easily empty even the largest loads
without leaving the tractor’s seat. With this
offset design, you can mow and sweep your
lawn both at the same time.
SNOW BLADE:
Quick-adjust 46" snow blade easily changes
from straight ahead to 25 degrees for added
versatility to clear snow and ice with ease
(fits RZT® S or Z-Force® S/SX).
SWIVEL DUMP CART:
Handles a heaping 12.5 cu. ft. load while easily
dumping thanks to its swivel dump feature. The
multi-hitch option and 18" tires allows this cart
to work with a tractor or utility vehicle.

As required by Kohler, all power levels are stated in gross horsepower at 3600 RPM per SAE J1940 as rated by engine manufacturer.
As required by Kawasaki, horsepower tested in accordance with SAE J1995 and rated in accordance with SAE J2723 and certified
by SAE International. As required by Honda, the SAE J1349 standard measures net horsepower with the manufacturer’s production
muffler and air cleaner in place and therefore more closely correlates with the power the operator will experience when using a Honda
engine powered product. The power ratings of the engines indicated in this document are the net power output tested on a production
engine for the engine model and measured in accordance with SAE J1349 at the specified rpm. Mass production engines may vary
from this value. Actual power output for the engine installed in the final machine will vary depending on numerous factors, including
the operation speed of the engine in the application, environmental conditions, maintenance and other variables.
