Q: what is the purpose of skid shoes? why choose a 3-stage over a 2-stage snowblower? Isn't an LED preferable to a halogen headlight?
by Alan Sedell from New Jersey on October 19, 2015
A: Alan,
Skid shoes are designed to allow the auger housing to “float” just above the surface that you are plowing. This comes in handy for gravel driveways, crushed rock, pavers, uneven surfaces or slightly raised areas, and soft surfaces that can get marred by the auger housing. With the auger raised slightly, you are less likely to bulldoze gravel and stones into the yard and allow you to follow the contour of the surface so the blade doesn’t catch or chatter.
The 3-stage units provide you with a third auger bit which provides up to 50% more than a 2-stage snow blower. The heavy duty steel auger gathers and moves snow to the center where the new induction accelerator chops up and pushes snow to the high performance 4-blade impeller which throws snow out discharge chute.
In regards to the headlights, this is a user preference opinion but many want much more light than what the halogen bulb can give us, as well as better reliability than a halogen bulb. The search for something brighter and more reliable ends with the LED light. LED's (Light Emitting Diode) are extremely efficient, very bright, and have thousands of hours of reliable use.

Not Pleased Considering Cub Cadet Is A Strong Brand
We purchased our Cub Cadet three years ago for $799.00. For the past two winters, it ran great. We also winterized it properly. In 2016, the coil broke and the starter went out on it.
A cool $300 later, and we are up and running again. If I were to buy another snow thrower, we are going with Toro as Cub Cadet does not stand up to the competition.

 No Snow Yet, But A Fun Read
I purchased a Cub Cadet 24HP to replace my 47 year old Gilson 24”, 5 horse, snow blower, a very well built machine with chain drive. The blower worked perfectly, but the 5 HP B&S engine was shot.
It arrived on October 5th and I thought I’d take it for a test drive. Going through the instruction manual, I noticed you have to check out whether the controls are working properly. I checked the engine for oil and found it to be full. One thing I noticed, not only do you have to check the oil on a level surface, but the engine has to be level also. By raising the rear of the machine 2-5/8”, as measured by a level on the crankcase casting, it allowed the dipstick to be accurate. Blower worked fine and drive worked fine.
Before my test drive, I checked tire pressure, as I noticed the right tire to be completely flat when I received it. I filled the tires to 17 PSI and went through the forward and reverse shift ranges. Everything checked out OK. The next day, I wanted to put it the barn as that’s where it will be, ready for use. I again, checked the tire pressure and found the right tire to be 6 PSI low. I emailed Snow Blowers Direct and told them of the situation. The only thing I got back was “it’s past the 30 day limit and we won’t do anything.” I called the maker (MTD) of the machine and explained the problem to them.
They suggested I take the tire to a shop that does warranty repairs. They gave me a name of the shop, one town over. The shop refused saying they don’t service warranty items for Cub Cadet. Being the problem was mine I pulled the tire and took it to Tires Plus, one town over. They surveyed the tire and told me it was a bead leak and suggested I put an inner tube in it and call it a day. I did just that and problem solved. My thoughts of having to inflate the tire, every time I wanted to use the blower weren’t in the cards. The inner tube and mounting the tire cost me $31.61. It should have been under warranty, but I couldn’t see running all over looking for a shop that would do it. Kudos to Tires Plus.
The drive system, consisting of a spinning motor disk and rubber drive wheel, leaves me skeptical as I had an AMF riding lawnmower, with friction drive, about 40 years ago. Friction drives will equal lots of wrench time. My thoughts on that are still out. I have two other Cub Cadet machines, and am very happy with both. That’s why I stayed with Cub Cadet.

Cub Cadet First Impressions
Snowblower was delivered by tractor trailer on 11/23, two days after a 24" snowfall. Driver was very helpful. It was packaged on a skid and needed some assembly which was straightforward except for the adjustment of the shift rod as outlined in steps 7, 8 and 9 on page 12 of the Owner's Manual. The upper end of the shift rod on my model does not have a washer but an offset ferrule that has to be at a 90 degree angle to the hole to be removed. I installed the recommended oil and when I checked the tire pressure, the right tire had separated from the rim and would not hold air.
I called customer support and followed their recommendation to wrap a tie down around the circumference to expand it and then add air. This worked. I purchased 91 octane ethanol free gas, added Sta-bil and poured some in the gas tank. It started on the first pull and while initially running put out a lot of blue smoke. It cleared up after 5 minutes or so. I then used the snowblower to clear some of the remaining snowfall.
It was the first time I ever used one - it certainly moved the snow and was fun to use. The steering trigger system is a great feature. I have started it several times since - by hand on the first pull and have not yet used the electric start. There has been some blue smoke each time at the start. I don't know if this is typical of a new engine or is a sign of something else. The machine looks and feels good and I hope to get many years of use out of it.
