ZT1 54 and I am blown away! My house lot took 20 min down from the hour it normally took on my old lawn tractor (it will get fast as I am still getting use to the steering). My big lot took 58 min down from 4+ hrs. I also saved gas too. It usually takes me 8+ gals of gas to mow both yards with to old lawn tractor. I might have used a little over 2 gal to do both yards today. Man, I'm impressed! This is time I get back that I can spend with my family and friends! I had wanted one of these mowers for years. Now, I just wish I had done it sooner!
The Cub Cadet ZT1 54 is a great lawnmower; so easy to use both my husband, and myself, can use it. The control levers adjust easily for any size driver; the control panel is slightly elevated and slanted toward driver for easy access; and the mower deck raises easily with the foot pedal and lowers back to same cutting position. To lock the blade in any position, raise with foot pedal, put the dial in desired position, and you're through. This mower easily mows our bumpy, hilly, tree covered three acre yard in a very short time. Cub Cadet has scored a home run with this machine.
This is the best mower I've ever ridden, it has great features, cuts smooth and it's hard to bog it down. I especially love that you can spray the blades off with water to keep them clean and sharp. Would definitely recommend!
I bought this mower to replace an older Cub Cadet 42” ZTR with a 17 HP engine and the transition was seamless. Crawling under my old mower to pop the belt back on is a thing of the past with the access panel! The panel also makes it easy to keep the top of the deck clean of grass and debris. Pre-installed lights for if the sun goes down a little too fast for you to finish your yard. The square frame makes this mower solid! Smooth acceleration and flawless cuts with the ability to mow in reverse as well! Amazing mower! Felt like Christmas opening my crate!
I got a Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1 54' zero turn lawn mower and just let me say this "I LOVE IT!!!!" I will never go back to the tractor type lawn mowers. I am a 50 year old woman who has always loved mowing the yard and being outside and I really didn't think I would be able to use a zero turn lawn mower or that I would even like it but boy was I wrong. It takes some getting used to but its so easy to maneuver that it makes my old lawn mower seem like some kind of ancient relic that shouldn't even be around any longer. Also a big PRO point for this lawn mower is my husband is disabled (back problems, leg problems, just in general can't really get around good) but he was able to mow the yard for the 1st time in over 10 years on this mower. It didn't hurt him getting on or off and riding was smooth and didn't upset his back and legs. He was like a kid on a new bike. I now have unwanted help with my yard mowing but that's OK, I can share. Another PRO point- I get my yard done in a little over half the time (1.2 acres) but this deck is much bigger than my previous. Another PRO point- I have mowed twice (and played a couple times) and still have well over a half tank of gas so it doesn't seem to be using nearly as much gas as the old clunker did. So what I have learned is these lawn mowers are not just for professional landscapers or people who mow yards as a side job - they are for all of us! I will never go back to the regular tractor lawn mower because I am having way too much fun with this one. So anyone out there who is questioning whether or not to get one - go ahead - you going to love this thing! More PROS: easy to crank, easy to control your deck height, push button to turn on the blades, comfortable seat, zero turn really means zero turn, I could go on and on and on.
Before this mower I had a John deer. This is my first zero turn and there was a bit of a learning curve but I can tell you it's one awesome machine! It cuts your time on mowing in half! We have trees that line our driveway that we had to push mow but not anymore this thing zips right around them. It's much more fun to drive too cub cadet you rock! This thing has a lot of pros but I can't think of any cons, I love it and I know you will too!
