Happy New Mower!
They are one of the few remaining manufacturers who actually make their own stuff. I think Airens and Toro are most of the rest.
Almost everything else (at least short of commercial and big Zero Turns) are made by MTD. Nothing wrong with them but no real reason to pay more for a "Craftsman" for example... get more features for less money under a different name.
I think Cub pioneered the hydrostatic transmission. Wouldn't buy anything but these days!

Thanks for starting this topic, Bruce! Now the true owner/ operators can come out of the, er... grass.
I recently bought a large Deere X360 myself. Got a Kawasaki V-twin under the long nose hood. Paid extra for the condo in back. Only the condo is just large enough to hold the grass clippings.
