Cub Cadet 3X 30″ 420cc Three-Stage Gas Snow Blower

30-Inch Clearing Width, 420cc Power & Patented Three-Stage Snow Removal

Take down the wall of winter with the Cub Cadet 3X 30″ 420cc Gas Three-Stage Snow Blower. Designed for demanding residential snow removal, this heavy-duty machine combines a 30-inch clearing width, 23-inch intake height, powerful 420cc Cub Cadet engine, and patented three-stage technology to break down and quickly move heavy, wet, and deep snow.

The three-stage system uses a durable, center-mounted steel accelerator that spins 10 times faster than the augers, helping break apart heavy snow and move it efficiently through the system. Trigger-controlled power steering, all-wheel drive, heated hand grips, and single-hand operation provide control and comfort in challenging winter conditions.

Key Features

30-Inch Clearing Width & 23-Inch Intake Height

The wide 30-inch clearing width and 23-inch intake height are designed to handle substantial snowfall efficiently. Supplied specifications indicate the machine can power through approximately 18–23 inches of snow, depending on conditions.

Patented Three-Stage Technology

The three-stage system features a center-mounted steel accelerator that spins 10 times faster than the augers. It helps break down heavy, wet snow and move it quickly through the snow blower system.

Cub Cadet states that this patented technology can clear deep snowfall up to 50% faster than a Cub Cadet 2X, with actual results varying according to snow and weather conditions.

Powerful 420cc Engine

The 420cc 4-cycle OHV Cub Cadet engine provides the power needed for substantial residential snow-clearing jobs, including driveways accommodating 12+ parking spaces.

Trigger-Controlled Power Steering

Trigger-controlled power steering helps provide precise maneuverability and allows for single-hand operation, making it easier to navigate around obstacles and changing terrain.

All-Wheel Drive & Self-Propelled Operation

The friction-disc drive system provides all-wheel drive with six forward speeds and two reverse speeds for controlled movement through snow.

Heated Soft-Touch Grips

Push-button heated hand grips provide additional warmth and comfort during extended snow-clearing sessions in extremely cold weather.

LED Lighting System

An overhead LED light bar combines with dual LED headlights to provide improved visibility during early-morning, evening, and other low-light snow-removal conditions.

Heavy-Duty Construction

A heavy-duty cast-aluminum auger gearbox, serrated steel auger, steel chute, and heavy-duty steel shave plate are designed to withstand demanding winter use.

Remote Chute Controls

The remote overhead crank provides convenient chute rotation control, while the remote single-lever system adjusts chute pitch. The chute rotates through 200°, with the supplied information stating that a full rotation requires just 2.5 turns of the crank.

Reversible Polymer Skid Shoes

Reversible polymer skid shoes glide over surfaces to improve maneuverability while helping prevent rust and driveway marks.

Xtrac® Tires

The 16″ × 6.5″ Xtrac® tires are designed to provide traction and mobility over snow-covered surfaces.
