ZT1 is great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very much enjoying this machine. Doesn’t even take a full tank to cut my couple of acres. It’s also quite fast, I don’t run full speed. Customer service at cub is great, had a local dealer issue and they took care of it no problem.

Cool Mower
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the mower on Wednesday was delivered next day, never owned a zero turn before, so I was cruising in the yard to get a feel for it seems pretty easy-to-use. Seems and looks like it's well built, glad I made the purchase.

Would not run right out of the box.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got a new ZT1 50” still in the shipping crate. Would crank but not run for more than 2 second before cut off. Performed a diagnostic check and traced to bad ignition switch. When I pulled the cover off the control, the switch had a plastic locking tab broken.
Seat does not have a restraint cable so it lays on the front frame when open for cleaning and battery access. Design of frame allows a lot of debris to get under the seat in the battery/ relay area. This and the top of the deck are difficult to clean.
Once we got a new switch and completed the assembly the mower ran great and did a very nice job on lawn. Deck adjustments are simple, controls are good, deck is very heavy duty compared to a stamped deck.
Overall the quality is above average. Some components are cheaply made as with the all plastic ignition switch and poorly designed cleaning accessibility. Still does a great job mowing. Hopefully it will prove to be long lasting and durable unit.

Great machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got it delivered was easy to get running. Mowed the lawn the same day and it does everything i was hoping for and more. Hardest part was getting the handles in the right position so one side didnt go faster than the other.

Beautiful Machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not sure what these other reviews are talking about with the cut quality. Even with the standard blades I get no clumps like my rider had, and, it is so easy to maneuver. Wish I bought one years ago.

Only Cub Cadet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my second zero turn.. the first one lasted 14 years and probably would have made it another season but I decided it was time to retire it. I can only hope my new ZT1 50 will be just as good

Speed doesn't kill
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have about 2acres that I mow. I have a residential 50 in. Cub zero turn and it would take about 2hrs. With this model I'm done within an hour. It takes me longer to clean the mower when I'm done.

I bought an Ultima zt1 about three years ago and have got maybe 12 mows out of it tops. The belts constantly fall off, the deck fell off, the battery died after barely any use, and now my throttle is out. It's a horrifically bad lawn mower

Pleased with transaction and the zero turn mower.
Pleased with the process on making the purchase. Big job to unpack but I am pleased with the deal and the zero turn. Local dealer had none in stock, didn't return a phone call and shipping cost the same from dealer or online.

Powerful and smooth operation
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very smooth operation and powerful performance. The only drawback is it's very loud, and occasionally misses some blades of grass. Really happy so far.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pro’s - Mower works great. I have used it 3 times to mow about 1 acre.
Con’s - Grass does gather up in engine compartment making and air in take.

Great Zero Turn!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first Zero turn and I’m never going back to a regular tractor. The fit, finish and ride of my Cub Cadet is better than I could imagine.
