Awesome lawnmower!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I took delivery of my Cub Cadet several weeks ago at Peach Outdoors in Clanton, AL. I had never driven a zero turn mower but handling is a breeze. The 54" cutting deck makes short work of my three acres, even spots where the grass had grown in thick clumps. It never bogged down, and the headlights mean I can cut even when it gets a bit darker in the evenings when its cooler. This is an extremely well built mower and extra durable on my hilly, uneven yard! Its very steady and safe. I am in love with this mower! Not only is it a workhorse but FUN to drive! Makes cutting grass a true pleasure!

Love this mower
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

New design
My first day on my machine and I've had 2 others before this cub cadet has made all the upgrades I used to complain about then some the frame and front spindles have been beefed up as well as the fabricated steel deck , the seat is great they added deck access from the top of the deck and headlights couple that with a terrific Kohler motor and you have the best bang for your buck kind of mower. Congratulations cub cadet you have outdone yourselves with this machine I purchased this over a gutless bad boy lawnmower that is made in Arkansas where I live.

Great Mow
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Living out in the country and having the amount of land of we have and using a small riding mower to going to this awesome machine, why didn't I get one sooner. Not only do you get to mow in half of time due to the 54" blade which is also very easy to adjust with the ball level but you can go from slow to fast and wow is it fast and mows just as good with each speed. The seat so is comfy and I love the cup holder. It has a heavy duty mat which is so easy to clean if you get mud, wet grass, etc on it. The arms that you use to control the mower are set just right that when your arms are on them they are comfortable. Not one time did I feel unsafe using this awesome mower, even going on a incline.

Great features
This my third cub cadet zero turn. My first is a 2005 and I still own all 3. This new one is the top of line zero turns with all access to many different parts of the mower. Two things that concern me is that front axle doesn't pivot like my other 2 and the rollers on the deck are just in the front of the deck. I love the way you set the deck level and settings of the control arms. The seat is very comfortable. I like the ignition with throttle and blade engage all on one side. Overall the mower is a 5 star.

Great Upgrade!
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!

Great looking and great to mow with
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had this mower for over a month and have 10hrs on it. It's not a commercial grade however it makes short work of my 2 acre yard. For the price and what it is you can't beat it. Absolutely love it. I have used many commercial zero turns and I can't see spending double. If you have a business then spend the extra but if you are just using it in your yard get you a new zt1....they are pretty awesome :)

Awesome upgrade from a regular lawn mower!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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!
