My dipstick says plainly not to screw it down when checking oil level...might want to chweck yours closely.
yes you are right.. thanks for pointing that out
TractorTread, I have a question. When making a turn, do the wheels turn in opposite directions, so as not to make a divot in the grass? I didn't notice it happening from the view you shot. But I swear I've seen it happen on one steering wheel mower, just can't find that model now.
the rear wheels will not go in the opposite direction unless you step on the reverse pedal. When turning the steering wheel it will speed up speed up one side and slow the other side down to make a smooth turn. One of the benefits of this machine is it will not turf the grass near as bad as the lever machine. Go to a dealer and test drive this machine and also test a lever machine. Do zig zags on a stone driveway and you can see what i mean. The lever machine will drag the tires when turning. The steering wheel machine will be smoother with less tire drag.
TractorThread, thanks for the reply. Darn, I was hoping for technology that eliminates my inability to make turn that doesn't create a divot. I try to focus, but when I don't, which is often, I rip the grass up. My next option might be the Deere with the Tweels.
TractorTread You are wrong about the steering. The steering wheel is not connected to the transmission. The steering wheel turns the front wheels like any other tractor, but it is able to turn the friend wheels 90degrees to the frame, to turn like a ZTR. The rear axle has a differential like a normal tractor,. The rear wheels turn a corner like any other tractor.
So a true ZTR steers using the rear wheels, while a ZTR with a steering wheel uses the front wheels to turn.
I have one and I love it. Better than any lawn tractor I have had- I have never bogged it despite being in super wet conditions- it goes up some extreme slopes and it can handle serious grass. I'd recommend this unit in a heartbeat. Mine has the Kohler 23 hp engine.
Renny1953 mine is stiff and terrible to try to turn. I can't turn with one hand. it's a 60 inch with no electric steering wheel assist.
Have this model for 3+ years. Only problem I have had was the tension spring for the drive belt broke. $15.00 part.
Kaw engine is a workhorse, uses no oil, always easy start.
Mow around the pond with steep banks, you can't beat it!
Love the steering wheel control.
Best bang for the buck!
Have a Toro Tmecutter & it has a lonely life, rarely used.
Thank you for the video. After seeing this I scheduled a demo of the smaller one & 48” version with the Kawasaki engine. After testing them and testing several other top of the line mowers NONE handled my steel hills like this one. Plenty of power. Only complaint is the reverse, if you don’t ease off the reverse throttle when you want to stop it JUMPS to a holt. I purchased the stripe kit as well as the mulch kit. Leaves a really professional cut and is very fast. My terrain has steep hills. Hills are a complete joke for this thing. I paid $6k for everything out the door. Best investment ever.
I am releasing a video soon with the Zforce SX54. I did some testing on the hills and the results were great. All the Steering wheel zero turn units work awesome on the hills. I will agree the reverse pedal is terrible it's not ergonomic at all but that's the only downside to that machine.

Your video sold me on this mower. I hate floating front casters and lap bars on traditional zero turns. Can't wait to get mine!
Just boughy a z force s48 (with Kohler motor) i love it, it gets up.hills my jd tractor couldnt even gey close to climbing, im.not sure i will.even have to use my push mower! Great mower, 3 acre hilly terrain 25- 35 degrees!
can it mow across the hills or do you always go up/down?
I'm the proud owner of the early model Z Force S with the 48" deck, heavier duty spindle covers, two gas tanks and the same 24 hp Kawasaki.
The only problem I've had was Cub put the blades on at the factory with more force than my old air compressor could tackle. But, that worked out great because I could explain to my wife why I needed to buy a better compressor! LOL
The only mods I've made are an aftermarket headlight at the base of the steering column, a gel cell battery and soft office chair armrest covers.
The only thing I need now is a loud horn to tell my wife to bring me some sweet tea because it gets hot here in Florida. 😊
Got the same cub cadet I do 15 to 5 acres every week just love it! It's got more features when you hit bricks and objects it actually stops automatically I just love it
I love the idea of a steering wheel on a ZERO TURN! I ordered the ZT1-42E a couple of weeks ago and I WISH that one had come with a steering wheel!
The steering on my generic lawn tractor has always had a lot of slop in it and has gotten worse with age....and yes I have it adjusted as best as it is capable. I was in a Cub Cadet showroom last week June 30, 2022 where they had a residential $4900 Ultima ZTS1 series and a commercial $8900 Pro series. There was noticeably more slop in the residential version just turning the steering wheel a tiny bit as compared to the Pro Series. I wonder how "TIGHT" the steering is on the Cub Cadet Z-Force Series. Which is it more like? The Ultima ZTS1, the Pro Series, or somewhere in between? It does not make sense to have slop in the steering wheel when some of the benefit is to have straight line cutting. I wonder if the conventional levered-steering design is not much worse than the steering wheel with inherent slop in it.
BTW: Very Nice Review!!!
Sweet! I wanted to buy one of these for my hilly 3 acres. Unfortunately, no dealers in Louisiana would stock these for me to test run. I bought an Exmark Pioneer S series instead and it does not do well on slopes.
this was very informative. I am trying to decide between a steering wheel 0-turn and an Ultima and I had read a comment about the steering being tight but this video, driver operating one-handed eliminates that problem. thank you
The steering wheel zero turn Zforce S and SX models are much better quality than the Ultima's. We are hearing good reports in the field about the Ultima's. They are a good machine for the price but the s and sx models are built a little stronger. One of my favorite mowers is the Zforce SX48 ..
thank you for your reply and I a going shopping tomorrow for a Z-force. I have not decided on the cutting inches. I have a 50 in on a standard mower now. I was thinking of going to a 60 in. thanks again for your expert help.
after your wonderful video, I purchased the Zforce SX 60 and it is awesome and I love it. It has a very stable and comfortable ride. I have at least three acres to mow and it has reduced my mowing time from 5 to a little over 2 hours but I am sure that will come down as I get better with it. I did have trouble getting the blades to stay in the number I wanted but I see how to lock it in lace now. the lawn looks like a professional job.
Thanks for this. I'm mulling over purchasing one of these this week and this was a great help.
absolutely the best review of this mower, very good
The rear tires are crap, matter of fact, those type are crap on any lawnmower. I have three mowers and have four wheeler aggressive tread and never have the slip and slide problems, not for over 12 years. But a great video and thanks for sharing. Types- Ocelot, Wanda Atv, deestone D929, ITP holeshot. No they aren’t harmful to the lawn, unless diggin and racing moves are attempted. Just my 2 cents, til next time.
Best review of this unit. Thank you for taking the time to review it.
thank you for your video on this cub cadet, it helped me a lot on how to operate my mower, and how to put it in neutral, thanks again.
I think its a great idea As someone who uses a zero turn they are great for level ground but i am always worried about getting stuck in a sloped corner with itthis steering front end takes that problem out of the equation for me
mel
Your videos are very helpful and filled with good information the only thing I would do to improve it would be to mount cameras without the fisheye lens curve at the end of your row so we can get a good visual of the degree of slope.
U must have a very nice camera setup! Smooth
Thanks for the info 😊
Thank you so much, your video was great, it help me to go buy it. Your info was way better than the dealer....
Not a bad review I have the 42 in version of this mower and I love it I'm thinking about upgrading it but the price is not right 4 traditional zero-turn you can get this size for a lot cheaper and I've seen cheaper mowers mower a lot better than this one even though the deck is a lot stiffer I think Cub Cadet needs to upgrade something to make their mowers better but good review man
hey, good video
thanks, I worked hard to deliver a good review.. more to come
they should have Rops on all there mowers like kubota has on all theres
Nice work... How about blade replacement. Thank you
I have the 48" version - one thing I don't like about these is that when you turn they tear up the turf.
What would make my zero turn motor shut off when I let the brake off
The underside of the deck ,show it (i want to see if there’s bolt’s sticking through to slow grass from exiting the machine?
Great review, Im impressed and Ill be shopping for one...
Love mine
does floor pan come off to get at center pulley and belts
i'm a pretty big guy and i'm not sure if this will hold up to me , I have about 3 acres of sloping to very steep banks to mow.my biggest concern is the pumps holding up. also can you step on the deck to get on the mower without hurting the deck, I have bad knees. very good videos.
The best advice I could give is go to your local dealer and check out the unit for yourself to see if this is the right unit for you. Thanks for watching.
So after you turn the key for reverse and click the triangle button you can go into and out of reverse as many time as you'd like as long as the key doesn't move?
yes, that is correct.
What's the difference between the s vs sx? Is this a commercial grade mower?
Those water ports on mower decks are great for accelerating rust. I would never use it. Mike
Cool i bought one love it
Does this kind of zero turn have have two transmissions, one for each tire or does it have one transmission? If it has one transmission then why do they cost more.
want one so bad but dont know where to get one in my area, florida
Don't know why but looking at these they just seem light duty like that steering adjust,will it stay in place over time or slip.
great review
What does the letter "X" represent?
Can you get grass deflector like 60 inch mower , stay up most of the time? I mow out in country.
hi mark great videos on pro z 900 and zforce sx 54 I learn a lot. can u do a review on Cub Cadet ® SC700 with MaxControl 4 wheel drive. thanks
i should be able to do that review in about 10 days.. Thanks for watching
thank u
I just got done shooting the video for the SC 700E . I should have it posted buy Sunday night. Thanks for the request.
TractorTread sc 700e
I have one of these , however it is hard to steer( tight) how can I adjust?
A problem I've always had was the weight transfer on ANY mid-mount ZT when at an angle on a downhill. Casters seriously hinder controllability & safety.
Thank You for the review!!!
( btw....ARE there bolts sticking thru the underside of the deck ??)
Does anyone have any feedback on the Z-Force S vs SX? I know of the different features, but is it worth the $1500 or more for the quality?
This guy is pretty lane on Archie bunker type house M owing his little bit alone get real and get it on a ranch somewhere with the side Hill thank you very much
Are making three point turns (to minimize tearing up the lawn) with this machine more difficult or time consuming than with a lap bar z turn?
MWTC These mowers have the rear wheels tuned to the turning of the steering wheel. Per the Cub Cadet deal they won’t tear up your yard.
it clearly shows that when he turned sharp the inside rear tire did not turn at all. it pivoted on that tire and tore up the grass.
is there a snow blower attachment for these??
You think you can do a review on the Cub Cadet Z-Force S 60? I know the S and the SX are almost similar but I think it would be good to see the differences.
yes i can, i'll try to have it posted in a couple days
i'm releasing the PRO Z 100 48 later tonight or tomorrow.
The one thing I haven't been able to find information on is how does this machine compare to a conventional mower with diff lock?
I bet this mower won't last doing my yard I got field grass, I've had alot of riding mowers.
Amazing video thank you :)
Have you done a review of the z-force S by chance?
Where can I buy one of these machines??
That hill there is greater than 20 degrees!
Im looking at buying one this weekend $5500 but its a 60 inch i have seen some people say that the steering was hard whats your opinion. THANKS
the steering is a little stiff, but its a great mower. I see a lot of these mowers out in the field and seeing some machines close to a 1000 hours. Good Luck, great choice.
What’s the price
Can you do a review of the z force s46? Or do you have one you can send or post?
How much $?
That steering column will be a loose mess in no time
No ROPS, No thanks! Nothing like a 1000lb machine pinning you to the ground once you find it's side hill limits.
A zero turn means one wheel can go forward while the other goes in reverse. This is not a zero turn.
The wheels change direction as you turn the steering wheel!
Its lever. Not “leever”
John Mead it's any way he wants to pronounce it.
jcolem55 this is America you communist. I’m so kidding. I’ll probably call it a leever from now on just to bug people 🤣
Nope..give me a Bad Boy mower any day...I don't like the steering wheel zero turns...just feel awkward and that whole reverse safety feature slows ya down...time is money
You just keep it in reverse mode , it wont slow you down.
You can hold your beer while driving these.
bad boy all the way the way these cubs are designed and built they"re hard to work on .
Good video, however it would be slightly less annoying if you would pronounce the word lever correctly. Just Google correct pronunciation.
