Cub Cadet launches three-stage walk-behind snow thrower

The new Cub Cadet 3X clears deep snowfall up to 50-percent faster than a traditional 2X two-stage snow thrower.


The 3X three-stage snow thrower easily cuts through 18 inches of heavy, wet snow, including that annoying wall of winter the snowplow leaves at the end of the driveway.


Big snow days won’t hold Cub Cadet 3X operators back this winter. 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 the operator in complete control of speed and maneuverability.


A host of innovative features ensures that the Cub Cadet 3X combines the power to plow through a wall of snow with easy handling and comfortable control.


Features include:

The only walk-behind snow thrower with three-stage power
Push-button electric start for starting convenience
Trigger-controlled power steering that allows for excellent control, effortless turning and one-hand operation
COOL BLUE skid shoes that glide along surfaces for better maneuverability and won’t rust or damage driveways or garage floors
By letting operators easily shift to a faster speed, the 3X lets them set a pace that feels best for them, so they can clear more snow faster and get out of the cold quicker.
Three-year limited residential warranty; one-year limited commercial warranty; plus a five-year limited warranty on the 3X auger gearbox, giving operators peace of mind winter after winter.

“The 3X three-stage snow thrower is the latest example of Cub Cadet’s advanced innovation that separates the brand from others,” said Jeff Salamon, Cub Cadet’s director of marketing. “Only Cub Cadet offers snow throwers with single-, two- and three-stage power, including the 1X, 2X and impressive new 3X so you can choose the level of snow-throwing power to match your winter weather needs.”


The 3X builds on the success of the Consumers Digest Best Buy award-winning 1X single-stage (221 LHP) and 2X two-stage (526 SWE/528 SWE) snow throwers. To make the point, the Cub Cadet X SERIES is recognized as the official snow throwers of the 2014 X Games Aspen.
