Must have, should be a Standard feature -
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very easy to install. Comes with everything you need. I was shocked that this was not a standard feature anymore. Installation took a total of 15 minutes. This is a must have, a little upset that I had to buy this as an add-on.

Critical to all equipment
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think this should be standard on all their mowers. I had to purchase it seperatly but it was nice to have free installation prior to the dealer delivering my mower. It is critical to maintaining a good maintenance schedule.

Where is the Hour Meter?
I just got the ZT1 delivered yesterday. I can’t believe Cub Cadet does not install an hour meter on a machine that cost as much as I paid. Why do I have to pay extra for an hour meter and install myself if I want to know exactly when I should maintain this beauty of a machine?

Easy install
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good product and easy install. Wish it would have come on the mower though. Sort of a chincy to have to install after the fact when you need to know hours for maintenance schedules. But overall satisfied with the product.

Perfect meter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Does exactly what I need it to do. Installation was a little difficult getting the already installed items off. I was worried about breaking the installed brackets but thankfully I was able to remove them without damage.

4k plus machine and no hour meter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just purchased a brand new ZTR 54 P and no hour meter on it. Why would you make a machine, that requires service in hour intervals, without an hour meter on it, especially for the fact that it is factory harnessed for it.

It works, but be careful to orient it correctly.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It works well and was reasonably easy to install, instructions notwithstanding. I was not expecting how small the display was, but it's readable. As expected, it's tough to see in direct sunlight. Unfortunately it's possible to install the meter upside down - there is no indication of which way to pop the meter into the cutout. I had to connect all the wiring and power the mower in order to determine the "top" of the meter, then disconnect everything again to install it. I was also surprised I had to replace the switch label to accommodate the new meter. It seems that a removable plastic cover could have been installed originally, which could be popped out when people install the meter. Then there would be no confusion, no potential for misaligning the new label (which I did) and no need to print multiple labels in the kit. Of course, the BEST thing would be to include the hour meter with the mower so users wouldn't need to buy and install it in the first place.

Plug and Play Straight out of the Box
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The module unit is plug and play straight out of the box however the replacement label included did not work for my Ultima zts1 zero turn mower. If the label had been correct there is no question it would be 5 stars.

Ultima Hour Meter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ultima hour meter was easy to install and works well. Should have come with the mower as maintenance is based on hours used. Cheaper from other retailers, but backorderd everywhere, including Cub Cadet site.

Really let down by cub cadet
I bought the 46” XT1 lawn tractor and am furious that it is the more expensive of the XT1s and the only one that doesn’t have an hour meter. What is the expense for? I wanted to be a cub cadet fan boy. Going to push the Toro now. They are far superior it would seem

Does what it’s suppose to and easy install.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy install tool maybe 10 mins tops to install it and only needing a few basic tools. Only reason didn’t give it 5 starts was because this should be installed from the factory for what these machines costs.

Nice and easy hour meter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great addition to the zero turn. Was very easy to install. Should have come with the mower especially since maintenance is off engine hours! Either way it is a great part and as always cub cadet is amazing.

Cub Cadet Ultima Hour Meter Kit
Considering how much you spend on a new riding, or zero turn mower this meter never should have had to be purchased separate. The kit itself is simple/easy to install. Seems to do what it's basically for. Just a bad move not being built in new mowers....

Easy install
Easy install. I didn't use the new decal that came with it. Just trimmed decal around existing plug,removed dummy plug, then snapped the hour meter into place. Had it installed in about 5 minutes. Not sure why these are not installed at the factory.

Should have been on the machine in the first place
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The hour meter works as it should. I wish it was a little bigger. Over priced for what it was, but needed. The installation was fairly easy. And like most other reviews, it should have been included.

Added after purchase.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Meter was easy install. Replacement cover decal. Difficult to get exactly flat without bubbles. Agree with others that it really should have been included from factory for this price point mower.

A must have for maintenance!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A must have, easy to install, comes with a new sticker (overlay). Yes, should have come with the mower to begin with, but it’s a small price to pay to ensure you keep up with timely maintenance.

No complaints
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seems to be good quality and functions as it should. It also installs super easy. My only gripe is that the ZT1 should’ve come with it from the factory. Otherwise, good oem quality and install.

Slow delivery
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would rate higher, but it took 4 weeks to get this part shipped that should have already been installed at the plant. Poor management decision not to have this installed from the beginning.

Good addition for oil change intervals.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installation was quick and easy. I keep getting a "lo - oil" message when I turn the ignition key on, but the dip stick does not indicate that. An hour meter should be standard equipment.

Hour meter add on
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is an addition I feel like should have been installed as the mower came from the factory. How else would you monitor your service hours. None the less I ordered it and it’s installed.

Cub Cadet Hour meter kit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pretty simple to install! It takes several minutes after the hour meter is first plugged in and the key is turned to the on position, before anything appears on the screen. Be patient!!

Hour Meter review
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product and easy to install. They just need to tell you what’s the top and bottom of the hour meter. Had to take it out and turn it around to get it installed correctly.

Needed Feature
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 1st, should have been standard equipment.
2nd, make sure the kit has the correct adhesive label. Had to call support for a replacement label.
3rd, but not least, easy install.
Enjoy.

Needs to be on mower at time of purchase.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Order delayed due to low stock. Received new mower with no hour meter. This meter should be on mower when purchased and should have enough at least for purchase per lawn mower sold.

Easy INstall
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to install, Personally think this should be a standard item on the mower however. Since the hours affect the warranty. But it was an easy install. Many youTube vids to assist.

Cub Cadet Hour meter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hour meter was very easy to install. Pop the ignition switch and PTO off. Pull the old sticker off and the connector for the hour meter is right there after you unscrew the cover.

Work and fit
The hour meter fits the Cub Cadet ZTS 1 perfectly. The decals that come with the meter are for a ZT. S is for steering wheel model. Meter works but decals don’t. Left old decals in place and cut hole where hour meter works.

Too small to be useful, don't waste your money.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Poorly designed. The meter is too small to read easily. The opening in the chassis would easily support a larger display. Probably add 2 cents to manufacturing cost.
