Description of the I-series
The I-series is a revolutionary new tractor platform
introduced in the 2007 season. This platform combines
a traditional lawn tractor with zero-turning capabilities.
This is accomplished by controlling the drive of the rear
wheels independently and the use of an innovative
steering system. See Figure 1.1.
The Steering gear box operates the control link-
ages for the transmissions while turning the front
wheels. This gives the I-series zero-turning capabilities
while using a traditional steering wheel.
The I-series comes with 42”, 46” and 50” deck
options. The I-series tractors also have the Cub Cadet
Rev-Tek system.
The I-series tractor can be equipped with two
HydroGear Transmissions or an IVT transmission. The
Infinitrak full-toroidal Infinitely Variable Transmission
(IVT) was first introduced in Europe for the 2009 model
year.
