Possible Causes

Worn drive wheel tread, a wet or muddy lawn, excessive slope beyond specifications, or incorrect weight distribution due to accessories.

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Stop the mower and turn OFF power before lifting.

  • Inspect wheel tread: Check for smooth or cracked rubber on the drive wheels. Replace worn Cub Cadet drive wheels.
  • Adjust mowing time: Avoid mowing immediately after rain or irrigation when the lawn is very wet.
  • Modify working area: Exclude steep or very soft soil areas from the mowing zone using boundary wire.
  • Clean wheels: Remove mud and grass from the wheel lugs to restore grip.
