ENGINE OIL

The Cub Cadet 7252 tractor has a relatively modest oil capacity of 2.1 quarts (2.0 liters), which facilitates easier oil changes but may require more frequent monitoring of oil levels. With an oil change interval of 100 hours, ensure timely maintenance to prevent engine wear and maintain optimal performance. Frequent oil changes can be a pro for maintaining engine health but may represent a drawback in terms of routine upkeep and operational downtime.

CUB CADET 7252 ENGINE

The Cub Cadet 7252, powered by a 0.7L Kawasaki 2-cylinder gasoline engine, offers efficient power delivery and reliability for various agricultural tasks. Its compact engine size provides a favorable power-to-weight ratio, enhancing maneuverability in tighter spaces. However, limited displacement may result in lower torque output compared to larger engines, which could affect performance in heavy-duty applications like plowing or hauling.

TRANSMISSION

The Cub Cadet 7252 features a hydrostatic transmission with an infinite number of speeds, allowing for precise control in both forward and reverse; however, range shifting requires stopping the tractor, which may hinder efficiency in certain tasks. With a robust oil capacity of 24 quarts, it supports longer operational periods before maintenance is needed, critical for demanding agricultural jobs. Overall, its two-range system enhances versatility, although the need to stop for range transitions could challenge continuous workflow in time-sensitive tasks.

Gears	infinite (2-range) forward and reverse
Oil capacity	24qts / 22.7L / Cab Cadet Hy-Trans Fluid
Description	Hydrostatic transmission with forward-reverse tredle pedal and high-low range shift. Tractor must be stopped to shift range.

MECHANICAL

The Cub Cadet 7252 features a 4x2 2WD chassis with a mechanical rear differential lock, enhancing traction in challenging terrains but limiting its performance in heavily sloped or muddy conditions. Its hydrostatic power steering offers ease of maneuverability, while the dry shoe brakes provide reliable stopping power, though they may require more maintenance compared to wet brakes. The two-post foldable ROPS enhances operator safety without compromising visibility, making it a practical choice for small to mid-sized agricultural tasks.
