The Cub Cadet CC 46 ES Self-Propelled Lawn Mower is a front-wheel drive lawn mower with variable speed control that lets you adjust the speed of the lawn mower to your pace or to the conditions you are dealing with. The Cub Cadet 46ES Lawn Mower comes with a 21-inch steel deck. You can make quick work of most urban lawns and choose between one of three cutting options.

Collect the grass clippings in the rear bag 2.3-bushel bagger, mulch them, or spread them on the lawn with the side discharge. Note that if you let your lawn get too long, mulching does not work as well as you might expect. If this happens, cut and bag your grass clippings and run over the lawn again with the mulching option. Cut your lawn often so it does not get too long for mulching.

Operators can adjust the height from 1 inch to 3.75 inches, allowing you to cut your lawn to the desired height. These features and others we will discuss later in this post make this a great lawn mower.

Description of the Cub Cadet 46ES Lawn Mower

Front-wheel-drive lawnmowers are easy to maneuver. You need to lean on the handles to raise the front wheels, disengage them from the ground, and turn in your desired direction to change direction. Once you drop the front wheels, they grab the ground, and away you go.

You can also adjust the height of the cut with a single leaf to one of nine positions to cut your grass to the exact height you need. This comes in handy if your grass ends up being a little longer because you forgot to cut it or if you want the grass to grow longer during dryer seasons to protect the roots.

This Cub Cadet 46ES Lawn Mower also comes with an electric start, making it easy for anyone to start the engine and cut the grass. Of course, there are the usual safety bars to stop the engine if you let go of the handle. Never adjust the lawn mower without first stopping the engine to avoid injury.

Delivery: Most lawnmowers can be picked up in the store; however, if you do not have the means to take them home, delivery can usually be arranged for a delivery charge. You may consider borrowing a trailer or a van to bring home your lawn mower and avoid the delivery charge. Some vendors, such as Home Depot, Lowes, and others, will rent a van to you by the hour to transport items purchased at their stores. The rates are quite reasonable.

Safety & Operation

All lawnmowers should be treated with respect. They are powerful machines, and they can cause a lot of damage in the wrong hands. Start by reading the manual and following all of its safety guidelines. Never work on the lawn mower without ensuring the engine is turned off.

While cutting the lawn and using the side discharge, never allow anyone to stand beside the discharge or point the discharge at something that could be damaged by high-speed flying objects ejected from the lawn mower.

Always check the engine to make sure that there is sufficient oil before starting each day. Top up if necessary. Fill the fuel tank while the engine is cool. A good time to do this is before you start cutting the lawn. Fuel spills can sometimes cause fires. If you spill any fuel, wait until it evaporates before starting the engine to avoid any chance of fire. Always fill the fuel tank outdoors.

Shut the engine off before removing the rear bag to empty it of grass or making other adjustments to the lawn mower.

Maintenance:

Maintenance of the lawn mower is pretty straightforward. Read the guidelines in the manual and follow them. Arrange to have your engine tuned up once a year and the oil changed simultaneously. This applies to most consumer applications where you cut your lawn once a week. If you use the lawn mower for commercial applications, you may need to change the oil more often.

Keep the housing free of debris to avoid the acid from the grass causing the housing to deteriorate. Also, keep grass from building up around the muffler to avoid the possibility of fire. Check the spark plug to ensure that it is not corroded and dirty. Replace if it is pitted. Always use clean, fresh gasoline for your lawn mower. Following these tips and others in the manual will ensure your lawn mower lasts many years.
