Why???
How could you you sleep at night knowing how petty you are by omitting the hour meter? I bet you didn’t save $5 per mower by shorting the hour meter. You inserted a cover plate and even attached the wire harness to it.
How shortsighted could your bean counters be?
The hour meter is perfect. It also monitors the voltage and oil pressure, an ability you also inadvertently removed in your quest to save your bottom line approximately $5. Max.
Congratulations

Worth the buy to know your hours.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ultima ZT1 is the first zero turn I have ever purchased, and man is it awesome. This hour meter will help me keep up with estimated maintenance intervals. Also the installation was super easy as the instructions were very informative. No splicing or fabricating needed as there is already a wiring harness and mounting hole already in place on the mower. Couldn't have made it easier if you tried.

Hour Meter kit 490-900-CO75
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Recently purchased a ZT1 only to fine out there is no "Hour Meter" installed. On further investigation, I find a part number for a Hour Meter Kit (You Tube has the install instructions). Why would you sell a machine whose warranty/maintenance schedule is directly tied to a hour meter reading, and not install a Hour Meter. Ratings would be higher if all parts were installed (Hour Meters)

My Cub Cadet ZT1 2022 model
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like how easy the meter was to install. As everyone else who writes a review, I think that the meter should come as standard equipment, especially since the warranty depends on hours of operation. Make no mistake, I love my Cub Cadet and am very excited about owning one, but not including the meter? Come on friends, was that a bean counter's decision?

Cub Cadet Hour Meter Kit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This item should be standard equipment on a 3600 dollar mower. It is necessary for the conscientious owner to keep track of maintenance intervals. The item arrived in a lightly padded envelope and it was loose from the box within. It was easy to install and the wiring plug for it was already present. Shame on Cub for not including it on their high end mowers.

Hour-Meter /not included with the ZT1 mowers
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the new hour-meter in good condition and it took about 5 minutes to install it. The wires are already in the proper location and just plug in, snap the meter into the space already in the steel panel. Put the new(included) stick-on label over the stock one and you are ready to mow. Now I can moniter the useage to do maintenance at the right time.

Hour Meter
I purchased 2023 zt1 50 mower and am very disappointed that there is not a hour meter attached. I previously owned 2006 zero turn Cub Cadet mower and low and behold it had an hour meter on it. Why have you cut corners and eliminated this feature when you have to service at a certain hour of use? Please advise that I can expect one from Cub Cadet at no charge. Thank you and waiting on your respond.

really like my new ZT1 46.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used a LT 1022 from new, for 20 years on my one acre rough yard. The hour meter had already rolled over back to zero.
At first I was going to replace it with a LT46. I decided to upgrade to ZT1 46. That was a great choice. I really like my new ZT1 46. My mowing time is now half of what it used to be and the fun factor is much greater.

ZT1 Hour Meter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ZT1 Hour Meter was an easy addition, and just a plug in as the wiring and opening were already there. My only complaint is that the ZT! with the Kawaski engine came with the hour meter and mine with the Kohler engine did not. You would think that when all of the maintenance intervals are in hours of use it would be a standard feature.

Hour Meter - Fantastic Product and Easy Install.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the hour meter for my lawn tractor. Purchase process was very easy and I received it in a few days. The amazing process was how easy it was to install. The wiring harness was already behind the panel. All I had to do was plug it in. I wish all wiring was this easy. Great job on this product. Thank you Cub Cadet.

Hour meter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All though this hour meter should have been installed at factory and came with the mower at purchase it was extremely easy to install and with a heat gun the original sticker decal was easy to remove and install the new decal. I gave a 5 star for ease of purchase and installation. Quick shipping. Took about 15 min to install.

Hour Meter Great - Should be included with mower
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased a ZT1 54P mower expecting that the hour meter would be included since that's the measurement used in doing regular maintenance. While the mower and hour meter are great, we would have expected this to be a part of the unit in the first place. Disappointed that Cub Cadet doesn't include this with the mower.

Very easy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The hour meter was easy to install. The plug used to connect it is already set up by the factory. It's just a matter of inserting the meter in the pre-drilled slot, applying the new sticker, reinstall the key switch and the pull knob, then plug the wire to the new meter. It's a process that takes maybe 10 minutes.

Basic maintenance life cycle device NOT standard
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very mad that this device it was not part of the product originally. Considering the machine is significantly priced, but does not have a basic maintenance life cycle tracking device. Very cheap business strategy to get you to spend more afterwards. They would recommend to change oil but no way to track usage.

As described, easy to install, good directions.
Easy to install. Good directions. Only complaint is that they didn't install it at the factory... I find the app to be a bit of a pain so I'd rather have an hours meter.
Make sure you install it with the plug outlet shifted to the INSIDE (toward the mower body) so that the hours do not read upside down. I found a good YouTube video that helped out.

Read me! Honest review.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very simple instructions to install The hour meter. It took only five minutes to install. The hour meter in my opinion should have already been installed by the manufacturer or by the dealer when selling The zero turn mower. Very inexpensive product to include with the mower at the time of purchase.

Great Price and Super Important for Maintenance
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wouldn't want to operate my ZT1 50 without this. I want my purchase to outlive me, and proper planned maintenance (ie: OIL CHANGES) are hyper-important. This inexpensive little meter keeps me on top of hours run, and was already installed by the local dealer when I picked it up. Thanks, guys!

Your maintenance reminder by the hour
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] hour meter is a needed item to determine maintenance for cub cadet. It was very easy to install. This should have been installed by manufacture prior to putting mower on market for sale. It is as important as having a battery. Why but why did they not have already installed as a standard item?

Super easy! It should already be on the mower.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super easy to install. It makes me wonder why this isnt part of the mower?
The new sticker is easy to put on. The wiring harness is ready for the meter to be installed. This is the one to get. It wouldnt be worth it to get the real cheap meter. Get this one. Youll be done in about 10 minutes.

hour meter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Why not charge some more money and install the hour meter during manufacture prior to selling it? Same goes with the wash out spout that's not on the mower either. I like my ZT1 mower but not including these essential items makes me think twice about buying another club cadet product.

A Must-Have for Any Ultima Mower Owner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Ultima Hour Meter Kit for my Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1 50 zero-turn mower, and I am so glad I did. This kit is a must-have for any Ultima mower owner who wants to keep their mower running in top condition.
The hour meter is easy to install and it tracks the run time of your mower accurately. This information is essential for knowing when to change the oil, spark plugs, and other maintenance items. The hour meter also helps you to track the overall wear and tear on your mower, so you can catch any potential problems early on.
I am very happy with the quality of the hour meter. It is made of durable materials and it is well-made. The display is easy to read.
Overall, I highly recommend the Ultima Hour Meter Kit to any Ultima mower owner. It is a great way to keep your mower running in top condition and it is a valuable tool for tracking the overall wear and tear on your mower

Hourmeter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not too much to say about an hour meter, but it works as it should, and should last a long time. I gave it only four stars, only because it should be standard on all mowers. It was easy to install, and comes with a new decal that covers the area around the key, And PTO. Looks factory.

Easy install, does what it’s suppose to do
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super easy install - be careful and take your time with the “sticker.” It’s very tacky and can be a challenge to move. Like a few others have mentioned it would have been nice if this item was pre installed on the mower. Not the end of the world as it’s a quick easy upgrade.

Hour meter for zero turn mower.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to install, but since I didnt have it when I bought the mower, there are several unaccounted for hours on the mower without this hour meter to log it. Little parts like this or the mulching kit i think should be included when you are purchasing such an expensive mower.

Should be standard. Shame on Cub Cadet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works fine but Cub Cadet should refund everyone who had to purchase one of these because it didnt come as standard equipment. An hour meter is crucial to standard maintenance. No idea why they decided to stop putting them on these expensive machines other than a money grab.

Terrible shipping speed.
I ordered this item on July 11th and it is now July 24th. I can't even say this item was a good invement because it still hasn't arrived. I paid $13.98 for faster shipping and still nothing. Find a dealer that had it in stock because ordering from the website is terrible and tracking your shipment gives no updates at all.

Should have been included from factory
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My brother owns one, both my sons own one , my son in law brought one because my brother recommended it. I shouldn’t have to buy one but I will . This is my one of 3 mowers I use to keep out 10 acres mowed. But as I replace the others they will be with the ZT1 60 inch.

Hour Meter Kit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought the hour meter kit to keep track of usage for maintenance intervals. Wish the meter came standard as many other brands offer but, I love the quality of Cub Cadet.
Wasn't going to let a minor part make me choose another brand. Installation was quick and simple.

Important maintenance reminders for your engine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Must have for your engine life and maintenance, in my opinion the engine hour timer is one of the best way to remind you when to change your oil and periodically check your components. Preventive maintenance is the key to longevity of your engine and the whole mower.

A breeze to install
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] You can peel back and replace the sticker that comes with the kit or just carefully cut the existing sticker. I just cut the square sticker space out. Took less than 10 minutes to install and works like a charm. Way better then me manually tracking oil change times.
