The Cub Cadet SLT1554 Garden Tractor Lawn Mower is not in current production by Cub Cadet. It’s a quality piece of machinery with a mower deck that has a 54-inch width of cut (but hopefully you already guessed this from the name). The deck of the SLT 1554 mower has 3 blades. These blades are belt driven and are engaged by an electric PTO. The mower deck has a series of anti-scaling wheels attached to the outer rim that ride across the ground making sure the deck does not scrape or gouge the ground. While the standard way to deal with grass clippings is to simply dump them out the side of the deck, you can also purchase an optional mulcher or rear bagger.
The engine that powers the deck of the Cub Cadet SLT1554 mower is a Kohler Courage model. This is a two-cylinder engine that uses a pressure lubrication system to keep everything running smoothly. The capacity of the oil tank is 1. 9 liters. The engine is key started with a 12 volt battery that supplies the engine with 235 cold cranking amps. Once the engine is running, the battery is recharged via a 15-amp alternator.
Thanks to the hydrostatic transmission, the Cub Cadet SLT1554 lawn tractor is automatic, without the need to change gear. The hydrostatic transmission allows you to reach a maximum speed of up to 8. 4 km/h moving forward. In many ways, the SLT 1554 riding mower is very similar to the Cub Cadet GT1554, as both have the same cutting width and the same maximum horsepower from their engines. The minimum turning radius of the Cub Cadet SLT 1554 is 21 inches when using the disc brakes.
