WOW - AWESOME MOWER!!!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this mower several weeks ago and I TOTALLY LOVE IT! It's a REAL BLAST mowing my 2+ acre lawn with this.....it's like driving a Go-Cart that's on steroids! Along with this mower, I purchased the 3-bagger collection system, which does a great job at keeping my lawn meticulously clean. I'll probably go out and buy more lawn fertilizer just so I can have a good excuse to go out and mow my lawn more frequently! Both the quality & power of this mower are fantastic! Thanks, Cub Cadet for producing this awesome machine!

Get the job done!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lights, armrest, Kawasaki engine and the bigger tires were definitely worth getting the ZT2 over the ZT1. First zero turn I’ve owned and Cub Cadet doesn’t disappoint in the power and features.

Best Mower Purchase Yet
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great mower for mowing a few acres. Easy to operate. Turns on a dime. Beefy engine. Love having the ability to tow carts. Oil filter and drain a very accessible.

ZT2 50 worth every penny.

Like a tank!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] this is my second Cub ZT my previous being a 2010 model that i sold to buy the ZT2 50. the comfort is great, the cutting deck finely chops clippings using standard blades, and overall just a great mower. my only complaints are two: constant burning LED "headlights" (no easy way to turn off), and my specific mower does not have external expansion tanks for the drives. i don't understand why the external tanks would be absent for serviceable drives. otherwise 5 stars for my 2.5 acre needs. love it.

Underpowered and needs set up
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unit feels a little underpowered. Bogs down considerably in thick grass even when it isn’t that long. Didn’t come properly aligned, have to make adjustments to throttles to make pushing both handles all the way forward and go straight. Front wheels needed grease out of the crate as well. Didn’t expect to have to do so much to a brand new unit.

Love it, but...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this mower, that is why I bought it's . But my opinion has dropped too four stars as I try to sharpen my blades. First, the engineers used a bolt with a 15/16" hex head. Too bad most 1/2" drive socket sets top out at 7/8".
Second, the bolts must have been installed at the factory, or by the dealer, with an impact wrench. Penatrating oil, a 14" Crescent wrench and a rubber mallet won't budge them. I'm going to have to borrow an impact wrench and a 15/16" socket, or maybe buy a 3/4" drive ratchet set...
Third, the manual says to remove the deck to remove the blades. Forget that. I have it on ramps and I am working from underneath. Removing the deck for routine service is ridiculous.
I've never designed a piece of equipment without doing maintenance, at least in my head. I'm calling a fail on this part of the deck design.

Treat yourself, you won't regret it!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent machine so far, comfortable, quiet, easy to maneuver, built like a tank! I ordered the bagger for it and cant wait for it to arrive. This was a fantastic upgrade from my last zero turn, no more digging holes turning corners, best decision yet.

So far I'm lovin' it, but...
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've got 11 hours on the machine and love it. Changed the oil and filter today. But I have a question: what is the proper procedure for checking the hydrostatic fluid and what type of fluid does it take? Oh, I think you chatbot died.

Zero traction. Do not buy for Florida yards.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Terrible traction. I am constantly spinning out in my front yard. And you can forget about going up and down a hill with it. It will sit at the bottom and not move. I should have bought another tractor instead. To make this even usable I had to spend another $300 on ATV lug tires just to get traction.

What a Great Machine
I up graded from a JD 120 to the ZT 2 50” this machine is so enjoyable to use it cuts exceptionally well to point there is few clippings. Much more power, better cut a faster pace, very comfortable seat arm rests are just a bonus fuel consumption is pretty close to my old mower.The deck has been built very well this mower has been built very well the sales people at Vehicle Venture in Windsor were very helpful.

Zt2 50 issues
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a ZT2 50. Had only 20 hours on top of it and 6 hours underneath cleaning the deck. Sold it at a huge loss just to get rid of it. Was very comfortable and engine was great. Just not a fan of fabricated decks.

Awesome lawnmower!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first Zero-Turn mower. So far I love it, but I'm still getting used to it. There is a learning curve coming from a steering lawn tractor, to a Zero-Turn. It's very sturdy. It takes half the time it used to take to more my lawn. I haven't found anything that I dislike yet, except for when someone waves "Hi" don't wave back! You'll swerve.. Lol
