The cup holder and storage compartment on the fender are handy touches for hydration on hot afternoons. The drive belts have shown zero slip or squeal even when powering through heavy spring growth. Could not be happier with the build quality and cutting performance of this machine.
Matt & Emily Long (Coeur d’Alene, ID) (verified owner) –
After two full months of weekly mowing, Cub Cadet Ultima ZT 1 42FAB has proven to be one of our best equipment investments. The steering lap bars have adjustable positions to fit different arm lengths comfortably. Could not be happier with the build quality and cutting performance of this machine.
Patrick A. (verified owner) –
The grass collection bag holds a generous volume and empties cleanly with a single hand motion. The seat slides on a generous track so both my wife and I can operate it comfortably. Four solid stars. Reliable starting, clean cutting lines, and plenty of engine torque.
Eric & Nicole Evans (Lexington, KY) (verified owner) –
The anti-scalp deck rollers prevent gouging the turf when traversing uneven dips. The cooling fan keeps hydraulic oil temperatures steady even during two-hour mowing sessions. A reliable workhorse that makes lawn care fast, easy, and satisfying.
Madison R. (verified owner) –
The deck suction pulls up trampled grass cleanly for a crisp, even swath. The blades came razor sharp from the factory and leave cleanly severed grass tips that do not brown. Has saved me countless hours every weekend. Worth every single dollar invested.
Michael Gomez (verified owner) –
The instrument panel is laid out cleanly with all throttle and blade engagement levers within easy reach. The belt routing is simple and the belt covers can be removed with two bolts for cleaning. Leaves the property looking like a professional golf course. Absolutely love this mower.
Vincent Bauer (verified owner) –
The steel spindle housings feel robust and feature grease fittings for easy seasonal maintenance. The frame is heavy tubular steel that does not flex when traversing uneven ditch banks. Leaves the property looking like a professional golf course. Absolutely love this mower.
Eric F. (Madison, WI) (verified owner) –
Cutting our two-acre lawn has gone from a dreaded chore to something I genuinely look forward to with Cub Cadet Ultima ZT 1 42FAB. The front caster wheels swivel effortlessly on greaseable bearings, providing razor-sharp turns. Leaves the property looking like a professional golf course. Absolutely love this mower.
Patricia Richardson (verified owner) –
The engine runs smooth and noticeably quieter than our old riding tractor. The push-button starter eliminates the cord-pulling strain on cold mornings. Tire pressure needed a minor tweak out of the crate, but once dialed in it cuts like a dream.
Greg & Rachel B. (verified owner) –
The mulching plug chops clippings into fine particles that disappear right back into the turf. The tires cushion bumps nicely when inflated to the recommended twelve PSI pressure. Has saved me countless hours every weekend. Worth every single dollar invested.
