Couldn't last the first season
By August od the 1st season the deck self destructed. Found all but one bolt left in broke spindle which of course broke causing further damage.
It tooks weeks for the dealer to get an answer from Cub Cadet on the warrenty claim. Cub Cadet rejected warranty claim saying I hit something which caused the damage.
Yeah, my yard isn't perfect, but this is not my 1st mower either. It came apart in an area where there was nothing to hit indicating that it took time to come apart.
I thought I was buying a higher grade mower than I got. Will be looking for something a little tougher.

Couldn't be happier
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the ZT2 54 last fall when my John Deere GT 235 no longer could handle our mowing. Our property is 1.65 acres with lots of trees, shrubs and rolling hills. What used to take approximately 3 hours to mow the entire property now takes approximately half the time and is fun to boot. This machine is extremely well-made and I have no doubt it will last for many years to come. Also the fact that I was able to obtain zero percent financing made this one of the easier and wisest decisions I have ever made. I am extremely pleased.

Blade Eater
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Be prepared to stock up on blades! I am extremely happy with everything about this mower and if I could find blades that weren't cheap metal and lasted, this would be a 5 star review. At the cost per set, I am going to go broke!

Can't find replacement blades AGAIN!
This thin g eats blades like nobody's business! IF I COULD FIND A SET, I would be putting the third set on in 15 hours. Because of the "S" shaped holes, I cannot find good quality after market blades. No one else makes them with the "S" shape. I am at the mercy of the cheap stamped OEM ones. Which are un available anywhere I look!

Yard Ornament
Every time I submit a truthful review they delete it. It appears they don't want potential customers knowing that the blades are soft metal and wear out quickly. I am being told I cannot get blades until mid August. They will probably delete this review also.

Cub Cadet- My preferred choice
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ZT2 54 zero turn mower is meeting my expectations, my lawn is has multiple levels of hills and flats and handles all with ease. This mower is easy to operate for me. I have owned Cub Cadets for 18+ years and they haven't failed me yet. Looking forward to using the new bagger attachment this fall to help me with all then leaves my yard accumulates. My first mower is a GT 1544 and is still running and mowing good, but thought it was time for an upgrade.

Don't buy online!!!
They will send mower that's been sitting around a dealer for a couple years with dead birds in deck and rust all over it. Then don't do anything about it but offer a air filter!
