Well, as far as I know the Troy Built and the Cub Cadet are of the same lineage, and the cheaper Cubs don't have shaft drive in em. Since you already have the Troy Built (do I understand correctly?)I would stick with it if you like it. The only difference you would see with the Cub is the Kohler motor which I would personally prefer, but maybe the v-twin briggs will be fine. Myself I bought a John Deere L110 last year. I shopped the Troy Built, Cubs, Sears, Husqvarna, etc...and decided that I liked the dealer support and design of the JD the best. It has a 17.5 hp Kohler, 42 inch deck, hydro shift, and I couldn't be happier for what I paid for it ($1700 I think)...heck if I had bought a more substantial tractor would have had to make payments and I think this will last me 10 years at least. I wouldn't pay more for a deck cleanout nozzle...those things don't work near as well as getting the tractor up on ramps and hosing it down with a pressure washer. Good luck and enjoy whatever you end up with.
