Cub Cadet three-stage walk-behind snow thrower Cub Cadet's new 3X, the flagship of Cub Cadet's X Series extreme line of snow throwers, clears snow up to 50 percent faster than the 2X two-stage snow thrower. The 3X three-stage snow thrower easily cuts through 18 inches of heavy, wet snow. The patent-pending three-stage system works by first gathering snow, ice and slush and moving it toward the center. Then Cub Cadet's new high-volume accelerator cuts and chops through winter's worst, accelerating it into the high-performance discharge impeller, where it's thrown up and out of the high-impact chute. These three stages work together to move more snow faster while putting you in complete control of speed and maneuverability. Features include: push-button electric-start, trigger-controlled power steering, Cool Blue skid shoes that glide along surfaces for better maneuverability, three-year limited residential warranty, one-year limited commercial warranty, plus a five-year limited warranty on the 3X auger gearbox.
