CLEVELAND, June 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The winter of 2013-14 took even the US weather experts by surprise with heavy snowfall pounding much of the country. A recent University of Utah-led study suggests these harsh winters may become more common, and that moving forward "global warming may enhance the pattern so there will be more frequent or more severe winter weather extremes or both." Luckily, extreme weather is exactly what the Cub Cadet X SERIES™ snow throwers are built to handle.

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 flagship of the X SERIES, the new 3X three-stage snow thrower, stood up to the challenge of this past extreme weather, earning a 4.47 star rating (out of 5) by owners on www.CubCadet.com. The 3X clears snow up to 50 percent faster than the Cub Cadet 2X two-stage snow thrower thanks to a patented three-stage system that allows it to clear 18 inches of winter's worst with easy handling and comfortable control.

The Cub Cadet three-stage system works by first gathering snow, ice and slush and moving it toward the center. Then, Cub Cadet's 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. Additional features of the new 3X include push-button electric start, trigger-controlled power steering and standard heated hand grips – all protected by an industry-leading three year limited warranty.

New for this winter, Cub Cadet is bringing the advanced 3X technology to lawn and garden tractors by offering a 3X three-stage snow thrower attachment.

"We couldn't have asked for a better opportunity than this past winter to prove the performance of the 3X three-stage technology," said Jeff Salamon, director of marketing. "With the memory of the extreme weather still fresh in everyone's mind, the notable recognition the Cub Cadet X SERIES earned, and valuable early-season offers, anyone not wanting to get caught ill prepared for another extreme winter may want to start shopping early to secure the right X SERIES snow thrower for their needs."

Cub Cadet's complete line includes a self-propelled 2X model that can tackle winter weather on any surface and features a steel auger that collects snow in the first stage and launches snow out of the chute to complete the second stage. And the 1X model provides premium quality and high performance for tackling sidewalks, walkways and driveways. This compact and lightweight workhorse is a great choice if you need optimal maneuverability, typically get light-to-moderate snowfall and you're short on storage space.

A leading consumer publication has hailed the award-winning Cub Cadet X SERIES™ as a top performer, including listing the 2X two-stage snow thrower as the "Best Snow Blower" in their Best Emergency Gear of 2013 article. The 1X single-stage (221 LHP) and 2X two-stage (526 SWE/528 SWE) snow throwers, which complement the 3X and its advanced innovation, have been named Consumers Digest Best Buys. Additionally, the series was featured at the 2014 X Games Aspen and utilized on site as the official snow throwers of the games. With so many remarkable products and the industry's best warranty, it's easy to find the right Cub Cadet for your needs. To make your purchase even easier, Cub Cadet will be offering several early-season, high-value Snow Days sales events.
