Hi, I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that the Cub and Deere models
sold at Home Depot are the bottom feeders?

Deere is available at Home
Depot, the Cub at Lowes. I'm primarily interested in durability and
reliability.

Sorry they don't go together.... for that you have to try a different
store. They are the bottom feeders of there equipment line



IMHO, as for a Cub, you need to look at 3000 series machines for truly
durable machines. I would also recommend using synthetic oils after the
break in of about 10 hours of initial use.

I also use MotorKote in my Cub 3235, but this is just a suggestion that you
may take for what it is worth.

Many others will say that synthetic oils are only marketing, but research it
and decide for yourself if a few dollars more are worth protecting your
investment.
