The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas brings together industry professionals and enthusiasts from electronics and technology every year and the agricultural community is no exception.

With their Bluetooth app Cub Connect, the first in the lawn care industry, Cub Cadet’s XT Enduro Series of lawn tractors is being hailed as one of the best Bluetooth-enabled products.

Cub Connect, a finalist in the international awards competition at the Bluetooth Breakthrough Awards event, can provide owners with real-time information when it comes to maintenance and monitoring right to their smartphone.

"Regular maintenance isn't top-of-mind for most riding mower owners. They want the process to be easy and convenient," said Emily Sword, director of brand marketing for Cub Cadet in a release. "With Cub Connect, you don't have to rely on mental reminders - your tractor communicates directly with your smartphone when maintenance is needed and makes it easy to get it done and off your mind."

The Cub Connect app currently connects to select Bluetooth enabled Cub Cadet XT Enduro Series mowers including:

XT1 LT 54 Lawn Tractor
XT1 LT54 Fabricated Lawn Tractor
XT1 GT 50 Garden Tractor
XT2 GX 54 Fabricated Garden Tractor

Cub Connect also connects to the following Bluetooth enabled Cub Cadet Zero Turn riding mowers:

RZT S 46 Fabricated Zero Turn Riding Mower
RZT S 54 Fabricated Zero Turn Riding Mower
RZT L 46 Fabricated Zero Turn Riding Mower

The winner will be announced on March 1 in Barcelona, Spain during the Mobile World Congress.
