The steel frame feels indestructible and handles rough ground without squeaks or rattles. The grass bag fills completely from back to front without clogging the discharge chute. Has saved me countless hours every weekend. Worth every single dollar invested.
Dustin Gutierrez (verified owner) –
The electric blade clutch engages smoothly without putting strain on the engine drive belt. 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.
Justin Williams (verified owner) –
The battery charge indicator gives an honest reading with zero sudden drop-offs. The rubber floor mat dampens foot vibration and rinses clean with a garden hose. Five stars. Exceptional power, buttery smooth drive, and top notch cut quality.

The transmission shifts smoothly without jerking, providing effortless speed regulation. The drive belts have shown zero slip or squeal even when powering through heavy spring growth. Takes a couple mows to get used to the zero turn controls, but after that it is smooth sailing.

The vertical folding handles allow the mower to store upright against the garage wall, saving huge floor space. 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.
Joseph H. (Boise, ID) (verified owner) –
After two full months of weekly mowing, Cub Cadet Ultima ZTS1 50in Zero Turn Mower has proven to be one of our best equipment investments. 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.
Brent Schneider (verified owner) –
Delivery arrived on a sturdy wooden crate and the machine was fully assembled except for the steering handles. The tires cushion bumps nicely when inflated to the recommended twelve PSI pressure. Takes a couple mows to get used to the zero turn controls, but after that it is smooth sailing.

The bright headlights let me finish the last few passes safely after the sun goes down. The engine air filter is easily accessible without tools for quick blow-outs after dry dusty mows. Has saved me countless hours every weekend. Worth every single dollar invested. Arrived well-packaged in good time.

The steel spindle housings feel robust and feature grease fittings for easy seasonal maintenance. 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.
