The Cub Cadet 3X PRO Series uses a patented 3-stage system to plow through snow up to 50 percent faster than a traditional Cub Cadet 2X 2-stage snow thrower. The 3X PRO performance is boosted by 14-inch augers, 14-inch impellers, steel ball bearings and 12-gauge steel side panels. These heavy-duty features provide the strength to cut through winter's most extreme conditions. In addition, the 3X PRO also offers an optional hydrostatic transmission, providing infinite speed settings to move through the snow at entirely the right speed every time. "When you're faced with the toughest winter conditions, you need specialized equipment for the best results," said Andrew Ziemba, product marketing manager for Cub Cadet. "The Cub Cadet 3X PRO combines the proven power of the 3-stage technology with top-of-the-line features to create the most capable snow thrower on the market." The 3X PRO line includes 30- and 34-inch clearing widths with 23- inch intake height. Both are available with hydrostatic transmissions. The unit also includes an integrated LED light bar, heavy-duty steel chute, cool blue skid shoes, sealed ball bearing designs on augers and wheel shafts, and trigger-controlled power steering. It also includes heated handgrips and a Cub Cadet 420-cc OHV engine with electric start for an even better user experience. The line features a premium 1-year limited commercial warranty, a 3-year residential warranty and a 5-year auger gearbox warranty.
