Review Posted 08/30/2018
As a 3-in-1 chipper, shredder, vacuum, the Cub Cadet CSV050 is the ultimate multi-tasking tool for a pristine looking yard.

Cub's CSV050 turns undesirable yard debris into rich, nourishing mulch that not only supports healthy soil but also helps prevents soil erosion with its onboard chipper shredder capable of processing branches and twigs up to 1-1/2" in diameter.

Emptying the CSV050 is a breeze. The wide-mouth, 2-bushel collection bag has a fairly large capacity and is easily detachable, requiring less downtime. The on-board hose features on this Cub is not found standard on every chipper shredder vacuum (but should be) because it makes clean up in hard to reach areas easier than ever.

The price, features, and large capacity bag make the Cub Cadet CSV050 a great tool to keep your yard and landscapes looking picture perfect. You will enjoy professional results without paying professional prices with the Cub Cadet CSV050.

Good Piece Of Gear
By Randy B.

Purchased 04/20/2020 | 
Review Posted 05/14/2020 
This is excellent on leaves, a little weak on pine needles. This chipper is well built. Ever thought of putting quick brakes on it so during single person use it doesn’t roll around, especially on hills. Overall, it does a great job for the price.

It's a great machine so far (two weeks). It works exactly as advertised. There's a large bag capacity. It's easy to empty. the Chipper vacuum starts every time. Just watch out for wet leaves that get caught when using the hose.

I love this thing, the only thing about it that I am a little upset over is the hose part doesn't work without maneuvering it around a little, but I'd buy it again.

I use this for a lawn/landscaping business. For dry leaves it is amazing. With damp leaves, it still did well but did not shred them as well. The only thing I don’t like is the hose. It works well, but the connectors slide out of the hose often, even though I have adjusted the clasp several times. I usually keep it off the machine until I decide to use it.

May Be A Game Changer For Lawn Maintenance
By Rebecca K. 
Erie, Pennsylvania
Purchased 11/23/2019 | 
Review Posted 12/19/2019 
I got this after I had raked all my leaves into a pile, so I'm looking forward to next year. With this, I think I will be able to do the leaves as they fall, instead of waiting till they have all dropped, being able to keep the yard clear. I will be able to do the leaves in short chunks of time rather than all-day projects.

I can't comment too much on the pros or cons yet, other than it's much easier to start than my older model leaf mulcher.

Review Posted 10/30/2019 
I had a similar unit years ago from Craftsman & sold it when we moved out of state. I regretted that decision almost right away. I tried to replace it with Sears, but couldn't, so I searched online for something compatible. The Cub Cadet Chipper Shredder is awesome! It is exactly what I needed, great quality, & the order came the very week I ordered it by freight. I am very satisfied.

Definitely worth the money the only problem I’ve run into is the leaf bag threading is already coming out and I’ve only used 3 times on a small front yard for leafs. Will be looking at a way to reinforce the stitching to keep the bag from coming apart.

Works For Me
By Gregory D. 
Orange, Texas
Purchased 03/26/2019 | 
Review Posted 04/18/2019 
I bought this in spite of the bad reviews here and everywhere else I read reviews about it. It starts every time on the first pull, so far. (I do not recommend using ethanol fuel in this or any other small engine). I have a small back yard with a lot of raised beds, and I have 7 large live oak trees. The leaf blower just wasn't the way to go for me, so this looked to be promising, and as it turns out, it works pretty well. I've seen that a lot of people have problems with the bag hanging system, but I'm not having that experience. As long as I empty the bag when the front wheels start feeling a little light, it seems to be holding up just fine. It looks like there was supposed to be some sort of handle attached to the hose, but it seems to have broken off during packaging, and was not in the box. That's okay with me, as I prefer to leave the hose in the garage, and just get it out when I need it.
