The 2130 is equipped with the Cub Cadet Auto Gear System, a shaft-driven gear transmission providing six forward and six reverse speeds. Control is managed via foot pedals for forward and reverse movement. It is important to note that the pedals should be fully depressed to engage the gears, as using them for speed modulation can lead to premature clutch wear.
