Great Value For the Money!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After my old lawn tractor died, I researched zero-turns for several weeks. I kept coming back to the Cub Ultima series. They're built like tanks, with a 2" tube steel frame, with lots of engine/deck choices. I finally decided on a ZT-1, 54" fabricated deck, with a Kohler powerplant. Satisfied? Totally. My mowing time has reduced from 1 1/2 hours to 45 minutes, and comfort is awesome. I compared this machine to a LOT of others, and am glad I decided on it. My experience has validated my purchase. Highly recommend.

Works better than all the others I had.
Bought it last Summer and I used it a lot and have no complaint so far and looking forward to use it again this year.

Easy to use
This is our fourth Cub Cadet .. we still have all of them. Our families have five all together. I am the primary operator of our newest mower, due to a motor vehicle accident and age I have shoulder issues. I would like the hand bars to be a bit lower. Not sure whether that is mechanically possible.

Love It
Been using the ZT1 all summer now and am very happy. I mow an acre, mostly flat and my time is down from 2.5 hours to 1. Used to mow with a rider with a 42inch deck.

Ok Mower
Only have about 2hrs on the machine and the wheels/something is already squeaking. Not sure what it is, but now I have to take to dealership which is 45 minutes away.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So easy to get use to driving. Really easy to maintain. Easiest zero turn out there. Easy on the pocket book too.
