The design of both these machines is almost similar. While Toro uses an IronForged deck, Cub Cadet's deck is made with 11-gauge steel. Consumers using both have found Toro's decks more durable than Cub Cadets'. In terms of the engine, although Cub Cadet's engine displacement is higher, the 24.5 hp power makes Toro's zero turn mower stand out. But, the price of Toro's zero turn mower is much higher than Cub Cadets.

Its engine offers more power than the Cub Cadet mower and its fuel tank is larger than its competitor. The best part is the price, the Toro is quite a bit cheaper than the Cub.

Toro's mower comes with the SmartStow®, enabling you to fold and store it virtually anywhere. The Cub Cadet mower offers you a dual battery bay, meaning you can store another fully charged battery within the power bay. While the battery of both machines is nearly similar, what makes the Cub Cadet mower stand out is the extra-high rear wheels. While Toro offers stability with the 8" rear wheel, Cub Cadet offers better grip with the 11" rear wheel. The tire size somewhat justifies the extra $40 you pay for the Cub Cadet mower. Hence, Cub Cadet 60 Volt Max 21" Signature Cut™ Push Walk-Behind Mower emerges as the clear winner in this segment. Tractor Mower Toro does not offer tractor mowers, and so the best we can do here is attempt to compare Cub Cadet's 54-inch tractor mower with Toro's 54-inch Zero-turn mower. While both mowers will cut grass a Zero turn is associated as you know with larger law areas. These two machines are different and have a different range of skill sets. Zero turns are excellent at maneuvering and at cutting laws efficiently. A tractor mower on the other hand has the ability to collect grass, not a feature traditionally associated with a Zero turn. The tractor will be easier to master as it uses traditional pedal and steering wheel controls. The Zero may seem a little alien with large levers for left and right turn controls.

Since the blades spin at over 18,000 fpm, you can cut grass without the dreaded clumping. Cub Cadet XT2 GX54 D The Cub Cadet tractor mower sports a heavy-duty AeroForce™ deck and rear diff lock to ensure optimal performance in hostile conditions. While the Cub won't be as nimble around the lawns as the Toro, it does offer other benefits. There are a ton of accessories available for tractor mowers easily converting them from mower to workhorse. The common range of accessories include - trailers, sweepers, snowblowers, aerators, scarifiers, rollers, feeders, sprayers and the list goes on. Adding a range of accessories allows the gardener to put the tractor to multiple tasks around the yard, a tractor doesn't just cut and collect grass.
