Love my ZT1
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have put about 20 hours on it so far and it has been flawless! Between my two properties, I am mowing 5.5 acres and the ZT1 50 has been exactly what I need. I added a set of Gator blades and it made it even better.

Purchase about a month agao. No issues as of yet.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was in need of new mower and got a great deal with 0% financing. Very good mower for the money. Makes cutting enjoyable. Since purchasing it, I don't always get a chance to cut cause the family really likes it.

Great product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this a month ago and we absolutely love it! It used to take us about 6 hrs with our old cub cadet tractor that was about 12 years old to about 3 hrs. It’s fast and easy to maneuver around trees.

quick start
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first zero turn. Took a little practice to get used to the controls. Now it moves exactly the way I want it to. The Kawasaki engine starts great and runs smooth. Nice even cut on the lawn.

Great Mower
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this mower about a month ago and it has performed beyond expectations. We have about 3 acres to mow and this one gets it done in about a third of the time our old lawn tractor used to.

Review of RZT50
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have owned this mower for 8 years. Overall it has been a pretty reliable mower. The problems I have experienced either I have been able to repair or the dealer has been able to correct.

Great value
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had Cub Zero turns for 10 years now and currently have 4 of them. I have 3 RZT50 and just got a new ZT1 50. Several friends have them now because of mine. They have served me well.

Ultima ZT1 50
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Starts easily , looks great, cuts grass like a professional grade mower. I feel like I want to cut the neighborhood lawns with this machine. There is not enough grass to cut in my yard.

Sturdy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my zero turn since 2012. I had to put foam filled inner tubes in the front tires because I kept getting flats but other than that no major issues. I mow 2 acres once a week.

Ease of operation
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I replaced my Husqvarna rider because i was unable to raise the deck high enough. I continually would scalp portions of the yard. This deck raises a full 4.5 inches if I need to.

Decent machine for the price
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a decent machine for the price.. Doesn’t do well on inclines.. Back tire locks up when on a slight grade and you try to turn... Has a good cut and throws the grass..

Great mower!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this mower for a month now and it's great. The only thing I wish they gave you the mulch blade's with it, for what it cost they should throw in mulch blade's.

Very nice zt for maintaining a large yard.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great mid grade mower for maintaining a large yard 1-3 acres. Mine gives a beautiful even cut. It handles my 2.5 ac. yard easily. I use a large utility tractor for my 70 acres of pasture... The ZT1 50 is very comfortable and well thought out. The size of the 50" allows you to cover a large area quickly and still get through most tighter spots. It's price point makes it a great value when you consider its performance and features. The zt1 is not a pasture mower but rather a very nice lawn mower that is capable of giving a beautiful manicured cut to a large yard for many years to come. The ZT1 50 features an FR series Kawasaki 23 hp 2 cyl. Engine, and a 50" welded fabricated deck. This is a nice balance of performance, productivity, and durability. Having had the opportunity to operate many similar zero turns owned by friends, I find it to be very comfortable with a smooth stable ride. This mower replaced a 2007 46" tractor style cub cadet that has given 12 years of service and still runs and cuts...
