Engineering Excellence
I bought this ZT 1 50 inch about a month ago. This mower has been everything I expected. I have mowed with it 3 times and it's easy to operate, the Kawasaki engine is smooth and quite. The frame is heavy duty, the ride is excellent. This in my opinion is one of the best residential mowers on the market for the money. Only time will tell how well it hold up. The cut has been excellent and no vibration from the deck as some have reported. I would recommend this mower to anyone who is searching for a good residential mower. Any mower you choose is mechanical and problems can arise, but so far I am more than please with my purchase.

I Love my Z1 50 inch
I bought this about month ago. Never rode a zero turn. If I new how wonderful they rode and how easy they were to drive I would have bought one 20 years ago. If you can drive a wheelchair, you can drive a zero turn, it’s the same concept. I drove it twice and my neighbor couldn’t believe I was going to cut my yard. He told me after the first time I was a pro. I have a hill in my back that his Ariel’s could not cut. The larger back wheels really give you good traction. I love riding it . I feel like a kid with a toy. I recommend anyone buying one that pays a lawn service. Take that money and pay for it.

Everything I Could've Asked For In a Mower!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I work full time an hour away from home each day. Finding time to push mow three acres of land has been a job that has been impossible for me to conquer. Within a couple of hours I was able to finally do this. The speed and power of this mower made easy work of what had been days of grueling work. It throughly cuts the grass without leaving behind strays. I am not exactly sure of its speed threshold but it can definitely go fast. It is extremely comfortable and easy to use. Better still is that it has only been fueled once, so it also has great gas mileage! A must for anyone with a large yard! I absolutely love it!!

Great residential zero turn
I bought this mower about 1.5 months ago and wanted to wait to leave a review after a few cuts. I have cut my lawn 5 times with this mower now and I am impressed. I am coming from a lawn tractor and this mower has cut my mowing time in half. Easy to maneuver and cuts evenly on a mostly flat yard. I also purchased the striping kit and makes a slight difference on the striping. Just wished the rollers had more weight to make the grass bend more to show noticeable stripes in the yard. A little aeriation this fall and some KY31 seed and next season hope to have better results. Overall, a purchase I will make again in the future with the cub cadet brand.

IT'S A TANK
Maintain it well and you will get lots of use out of it. I use this residential tractor in my landscaping company's fleet and it puts up to hours of use daily everyday. Superior cut quality and power. I've never been through grass too tall or too thick for this beast -- just keep the blades sharpened. It has no problem hauling mulch and dirt with the two large turf tires (top dressing a lawn). It will not wheelie, but instead provides a smooth, responsive acceleration. The lights and cut quality could be better, but that's why Cub Cadet offers commercial products. It is more than adequate for residential use.

Awesome features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Cub Cadet - ZT1 50 has so many amazing features. The deck has a hose attachment to enable you to clean underneath the deck. The mower is extremely easy to drive, and the steering handles are adjustable. The dial to adjust the height of the grass is easy to move. The steering capability is good for going around trees and shrubs. The mower has three blades and a 23 hp Kawasaki motor , it’s air cooled . The drain tube for the oil is unique.

So Far So Good
I really got sick and tired of paying lawn guys to either NOT SHOW or scalp and destroy my lawn..So if you want it done right , DO IT YOURSELF!! and what better way than to do it with a really nice zero turn CUB CADET ZT1 50..took me 28 minutes to zoom around yard (over an acre) and this included my "learning curve" use of the Zero Turn. AWESOME MOWER...Bye Bye lawn guys , hello relaxing cruise around yard with a "cold one" in the cup holder.

Ultima ZT1 50
Purchased this mower on 9/27/19 from a local dealer. I did a lot of research before buying. Looked at a lot of big brand names along with Cub Cadet. For the price point, the ZT1 50 seemed like the best bang for the buck. 23hp Kawasaki motor, 50in fab. deck, LED headlights just to name a few features. I've been on a few zero turns, but this is my first. Have only had lawn tractors. Easy starting, awesome cut and very fast. Purchased the mulch kit as well, does a fine job. I own 1 acre, cut my mowing time in half. Also does well on my steep hills. You will not be disappointed with this mower.
