Kevin & Jessica Becker (verified owner) –
We maintain roughly an acre and a quarter of thick lawn, and Cub Cadet Ultima ZT 1 54 powers through it effortlessly. 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.
Dennis King (verified owner) –
The anti-scalp deck rollers prevent gouging the turf when traversing uneven dips. The frame is heavy tubular steel that does not flex when traversing uneven ditch banks. Takes a couple mows to get used to the zero turn controls, but after that it is smooth sailing.
Sarah Reed (verified owner) –
The LED headlights are surprisingly bright and illuminate the lawn clearly for dusk mowing. The frame is heavy tubular steel that does not flex when traversing uneven ditch banks. Four stars due to seat switch sensitivity over tree roots, but the cutting power is phenomenal.
Frank R. (Flagstaff, AZ) (verified owner) –
The high-back seat and armrests make long mowing sessions completely comfortable. The hydrostatic transmission provides infinite speed control without the need to shift gears. Leaves the property looking like a professional golf course. Absolutely love this mower.
Travis C. (Peoria, IL) (verified owner) –
The drive transmission transitions between forward and reverse smoothly with no jerky movements. The deck leveling procedure in the manual was easy to follow using a simple pitch gauge. Five stars. Exceptional power, buttery smooth drive, and top notch cut quality. Definitely happy with the purchase.
Rebecca Williams (Denver, CO) (verified owner) –
A top-performing machine that delivers professional-grade lawn care every weekend. The tires cushion bumps nicely when inflated to the recommended twelve PSI pressure. Tire pressure needed a minor tweak out of the crate, but once dialed in it cuts like a dream.
Henry W. (Lancaster, PA) (verified owner) –
The steel spindle housings feel robust and feature grease fittings for easy seasonal maintenance. The seat slides on a generous track so both my wife and I can operate it comfortably. Five stars. Exceptional power, buttery smooth drive, and top notch cut quality.
