Q: Do you have chains for the back tires? by Edwatrd Duszak from Delaware on October 24, 2011
A: Edward - the Cub Cadet 524WE has 15" x 5" tires. The Toro snow blower tire chains should fit, since the Toro's and the Cub 524WE use the same tire: tire chains by Kriss, Product Expert
Q: Hi Kriss:

Finally have snow blower now waiting for that 1st snow fall
After much searching and comparing I finally pulled the trigger and ordered my Cub Cadet with power steering from PED. The snow blower arrived as stated when ordered, delivered with no issues to my garage. The hardest part was removing the shipping crate, man do they build a cone of protection around this equipment. Once I had the crate removed the setup of the snow blower was quick and easy.
The first push or the electric start button and she came to life. After an hour or so of getting acquitted with all the controls I now have a beast of a snow blower at the ready. We’ve not received any snow to speak of this year so if all I’ve accomplished with this purchase was warding off snow for this winter then its money well spent. I now have peace of mind that when that next significant snow fall does occur I'm ready to attack it with a snow eating machine instead of my back, arms and shovel.

The factory quality control stinks!!
I picked up the 524SWE the Monday before we got 9 inches of snow on Saturday Jan. 21st. I put it together per the instructions, which were very easy to follow. After putting it together I started it up to try it out. Everything seemed to work well. I only went about 20 feet turned around and put it away hoping for snow. Well I got my wish, woke up to 9 or 10 inches of snow! Went out to the garage, started the unit and when I engaged the drive gear it jumped like a rabbit . The speed control was stuck on high, and with my knee replacement I could not keep up with it, also there was no reverse gear.
I called the service place that PED told me was the closest for me and I explained to him what had happened. He said to bring it in and if the problem was because I put it together wrong, there would be a $35.00 charge for him to look at it. Well I didn't care for his attitude so I went to another place and had no "BS " at all!!
The dealer said the drive gear had no pin in it and slipped down the shaft. He repaired it and now I am again waiting for a snow fall!
I was well satisfied with PED and the people at Target O. P. E. in Lemont ILL. I'm sure the 524SWE will prove to be a great machine after I get to use it!! The bum rating is for the factory quality control people not the machine!!

Updated: Waiting on First Snow
Update: Feb 2, 2012:
LOVED IT - snow of about 9", and worked great as planned. Threw it as far as advertised, so able to 'blow faster. Glad I "practiced" in the yard. JUST WISH IT WOULD SNOW MORE!
=======================================
Shipped earlier than the back-ordered time, arrived and with my son the lift gate service brought it into the garage. I spent more time uncrating the snowblower then setting it up! Very easy to set up, added a little more gas, checked the oil, and fired it up on the second pull.
Spent the next 15 minutes "test driving" it in the driveway. The steering included with this model is just great so far - just have to wait to test it out with the first snowfall! Missed the 2 inches we got from the October snowfall.

Looks nice and steers great. Had a 1979 8 or 9 hp Toro before this and needless to say this is nice and shiny. Toro was a tank, but I will say that this snow blower is extremely quiet or I'm going deaf and seems a lot easier to maneuver. We have had Zero snow and now that I bought this we probably wont get any, but if we do I will follow up. Snow Blowers Direct was a pleasure to deal with and great pricing. Thanks....Stan

Sweet
Got mine day before 8.7" wet snow storm. Easily threw 35+'. Was concerned about how clear the pavement would be left as my driveway is on a hill. No sweat as it cleaned nearly as well as my old single stage paddle. Took me half the time.

So far - so good
I just received my new snow blower. It was pretty easy to set up. Started quickly and seems to work fine. I love the power steering feature. This is a large blower and would be difficult with this feature. Since I bought it I'm sure it will not snow so I'll update this later. But so far, I love it.

524SWE is the way to go
Snowblowersdirect is the way to go hands down. Customer Service is great, and shipping times are very reasonable. So far I am very happy with my 524SWE. From unloading off the tractor trailer, assembly and testing out in my driveway was under 30 minutes. Power steering feature works great I tested it out on my asphalt driveway, wet grass, and loose gravel, it performed great on all three surfaces. Definitely a back saver with out a doubt. Added a little bit of gas, checked the oil and the snow blower started on the second pull fresh off the shipping pallet, the electric start feature also worked perfect.
I purchased this blower to get into the tight spots that I can not get with my tractor but have a feeling I will be using the blower for the whole driveway because it is so easy and enjoyable to use. I have not had any snow to test it out in yet, but I am very confident that it will perform great. If you are looking for a very nice medium sized 2 stage snow blower I highly recommend the Cub Cadet 524SWE. Do not feel discouraged that assembly is required, it is very easy and will take a very short amount of time. Plus most dealers will charge $50+ for set up alone save your money and follow the instructions and you will be fine. I added a couple pictures to give you an idea of what to expect when yours arrives.
