I only wish to bring to light information that may not be known.Most of the MTD built Cub Cadet shaft drive models are not apple to apple comparison of shaft drive in competing brands shaft drives. Cub uses a hollow tube of small diameter and minimal wall thickness and flanged ends with a rubber or composite connector. In my twenty years of servicing L&G product these are overlooked quite often and should be a routine maintenance item.Competitors use a true driveshaft with greaseable u-joints and slips shafts. If you fail to grease the true driveshaft you will have one heck of a repair bill on some models as a complete shaft is the only recourse. At least on the Cub it is relatively inexpenisve to replace couplers.I have seen many belt drive machines outperform shaft drive machines.However if belts are in wet or very dusty conditions I would opt for shaft drive. Good luck to you
