I have looked at several models now. I found this exact model at a local tractor supply with a bad (weld) on an idler pulley on the deck. Took it home and made the repair in about 30 minutes. The manager gave me 1k discount, so I was ecstatic, he definitely helped make my decision! I have several pieces of real-estate, and was paying people to cut a couple of them, however mowing today i cut 2 pieces of property in 2 hrs! This machine is phenomenal! In business time is money! This machine is going to save me a fortune! I'm looking forward to a long service life from this machine, good job cub cadet!
Just bought the 50 inch deck in this model today and it is definitely top notch, went straight home and started mowing, I did have to stop a few times to make comfort adjustments, such and the arms height and deck pedal, which is to be expected for first use so no big deal, and once you get your comfort adjusted to your liking it is spectacular. This is the first time I was actually disappointed to have stop mowing after cutting everything! Lol! Great job Cub Cadet!
awesome mower! butter smooth, quite, no vibration...would buy again and again... mow on brother!
I'm actually looking at the ZT2 version. Thanks for the look!
Im from south central wisc ... i just purchased this mower 2 weeks ago and really do luv it !! it does an awesome job .. luv the way it stripes the lawn , making it look like a professional job
Guys, the frame and axel is offset so the deck can reach over garden edges/etc. on the left side without the tires running over it. This is why the debris discharge is always on the opposite side that does not hang past the wb.
Great information Evan, thank you
I’m here to debunk this. It drove me nuts on my zero turn. I know that this is a 2 year old comment. But the left side caster is actually out further to allow it to work with the deck and cutting ability better. If you lift up the mower or look under the deck, you will notice that the casters are in-line with the lift/edge of the blade, putting it in a more optimal area for the blades to be lifted back up from the caster had just ran it over.
Love the reviews these guys make.😺
Just ordered a 50” Ultima today! My old Cub Cadet was good to me for years and years and took some major abuse at times. I definitely got my money’s worth and plan to do it again. Pretty sure this is the last mower I’ll ever NEED to buy!
I literally just brought this mower home like a hour ago. I'm so freaking excited to start mowing with this beast. It definitely seems like a great mower for the price they are.
Good choice!
How's the ride Steve
I love it. I've mowed my grass now 2 times and i couldn't be more happier that i picked this one to buy.
Hard to understand you Eastern folks, but I got most of it by listening to you twice! Thanks for the information!
Got my Zt2 three weeks ago I love the look 👀 it’s awesome 😎
It's a great mower! Very nice clean cut
I’ve towed over 500 pounds in my dump cart with this mower never a problem bought it brand new 2018
Great overview! I just bought this mower and watched to prepare for my video. You touched on a couple points I didn't know about, thanks so much!
Just bought a used 2020 54" . It's still working as good as new. Very well built machine.
Great to hear!
I have a 2020 ZT1 54" w the Fab deck. Awesome machine! Slays my 2 acres in 90 minutes. Anyone know what year they started adding the front caster suspension?
Have been using a ZT1 42" from the Orange place for about three weeks, and I love it. Takes about 1 minute to get used to zero turn handles. Recommended for anyone that wants to enjoy an otherwise boring task. Get some "wow" looks from the neighbors too.
Getting ready to buy the same one from the orange store. Hows yours holding up?
@@ghosthk2935 Still like it a lot after more than a year. The bagging system sucks bigtime, so unless you really need it, look for another brand.
At first I thought...drunk. Then I realized they're just from the Chicago area.
Good video, I just bought this exact mower, thanks
Having any issues?
Excellent mower and great video. 😀
Guys whats with the discharge shoot? How do you put it down? Any shoot baggier attachments?
Could someone PLEASE tell me what the black circle pop out thing next to three throttle lever is for? I broke mine and I assume it's to install a switch
A very honest review
Love y’all energy ✌🏽
Thanks
nice frame design wonder what the commercial version hydros use over the home version
i recently bought a zt1 and the low oil pressure light came on at 4 hrs. they replaced the sensor and wiring harness. low oil pressure light is still on. they told me to keep driving it and it will re set its self in 4 hrs.. mower has 10hrs now and light is still on. any thouoght on how to fix that?
I have this same one and it’s my first zero turn and it’s the best
What gauge is the Boxed frame ? Aeroforce tech what's that?
How drunk were these guys when they shot this? 5-beer-o'clock?
Where do you find replacement blades none inmy county haven't found a y online WtH
Man, you guys were on top of this review. Nice job!
I owned a Cub cadet rzt 42" zero turn and I loved it. I wanted to move up to a 60" zero turn. I checked out Cub cadet Ultima 60" and Ariens ikon xl60". The ikon by far had better options for me and a better built deck. Does have Kawasaki engine too also had a more comfortable ride with arm rests on the seat and not to mention it was on sale for $3499 ($1000 off sticker price).
El Mero Mero the zt2 has the same thing. This is the base model. You lost speed and fuel capacity. Options? You can put a snow plow blade on these. Idk how those armrest attached to the handles are superior. That seems terribly inefficient. This is built like a brick house. Ariens, well frame flex is a big deal over time. You got a cheaper mower for sure lol. Get what you pay for.
I take the cub any day of the week over the ariens
I got mine, didn’t quite understand the directions on lowering the deck! Now that I seen the video I can do that. My issue was after 15 minutes I went over a bump. The deck belt came loose and I learned spring is belt tensioner. Now my blades won’t engage. Checked the connection it’s good the blades will move one inch that’s it
How can you adjust the handles closer?
Do they still have a weak left side motor, all zero turn have a weak left turn
Thanks for the thorough review and explanations. I could not find any guidance anywhere about whether the ZT1 can tow a cart or has a hookup. No photos of the rear of the mower anywhere! Thank you for featuring that along with everything else you guys went over. Great video!
Lolol...love the title in thumnail 👍👍😉
I have 50" 23 hp. It's excellent mower only thing I don't like it is front wheel I can't grease???
I love the look of the new ultima cub cadet.
I wish I could use a zero turn mower, prob is I use my Cub Cadet XT3 garden tractor all year round. I mow 3 acres in the summer and blow snow in my driveway in the winter so it gets lots of use. I do like my XT3 though. Another tip, don't purchase one through a big box store. Purchase your mower through a dealer that has a in house service dept. IT will save you a bunch if it needs repairs under warranty. Cheers.
Slaying with the vans
I have the ZT1. I wish I would have gotten the ZT2 because everytime I zero turn it destroys my yard. The tread is a little too beefy. I just mow straight rows all the way to my drive way then turn. Overall I'm very please with Cub Cadets product. I think I'll buy their 18 in. 208cc Rear-Tine Dual-Direction Gas Tiller or 3X 26 in. 357cc Track Drive Three-Stage Electric Start Gas Snow Blower with Steel Chute Power Steering Heated Grips next. Thank you Cub Cadet.
adjustable handles are amazing to me since im a big guy and hard to fit in a traditional ride on mowers
SAME. i bought mine today and thought i better suck it in if im gonna be riding this
where are the zerk fittings so you can grease the spindles.
I have one love it
Whst about the grease fittings?
How do you put on the CUB CADET 703-12302-0637 Powder Black Hitch Plate please ?
I’m looking into getting one of theses in a couple weeks
Did u get one
Need a video on how to change the hydro fluid
Solid review ,love the channel ....!
I have a Z60 and love it. Just wish the oul filter was easy enuf for me to remove.
No fenders??? How is it on tall wet grass does it shoot up your back or on the engine
You can buy the fenders separate for this tractor or make your own for cheaper by attaching two pieces of aluminum to the frame.
Nice mower for residential. They have version with Kawasaki FR engine as well. Btw man, love the ventrac at the back :)
I have this model.....and let me tell you....ITS A BEAST!!!
Hi, I just bought my Cub cadet Zt1 54in at local Tractor Supply Company (TSC) in Mckiney Texas last week 8/15/2020 for $ 3355.74 and I noticed it's acting very strange after 2nd use yesterday. It lost cutting power at high speed setting (the rabbit symbol). You can hear the engine sound wanted to die out and the cutted-grasses did not shoot out the right EXIT side strong as it suppose to. At first, I thought I ran out of gas ( b/c there is no gas gauge indicator equipped on this model). I stopped the mower, let it rest while I checked gas level which (which is still full with fresh gas), I then checked oil level and it was was full!!!
I restarted the mower and resume mowing but after few minutes, it acted up again when I heard the engine was not humming like it is suppose to. I immediately stopped the mower and set mowing speed to TURTLE sign for SLOW, then the mower perform okay again at this power speed.
Please note, I am very quality conscious with every equipment I've been ever owned and this Cub cadet ZT1 54in is one of my biggest quality concern after 2 simple runs (less than 45 minutes per run).
Do you think, I can return this machine for the TORO ( much for expensive but more reliable)?
2) 2nd problem I had yesterday was the LEFT Tire got flat! My land has no metal debris and/or sharp objects to punch the the tire. For this problem, I really don't have a clue of the root cause.
Please suggest me and I really appreciate your time and support,
I had nothing but problems with my cadet. I finally got a John Deere. The Deere motor has 3HP less than the cadet and it completely outperforms the cadet in every way. Much faster, much more torque, everything.
Do you think maybe you could do a video on what do do when you put it up for the winter? Like do I do anything special after grass season when I'm gonna store it in my garage. I would love feed back..
Sure thing! Basically use stabil run it for a bit then change the oil. Great video idea we will in the spring
@@Toolsinaction that k you so much. Im follow and look forward to seeing it brother. Thank u
I recon these run good,but I've read alot of complaints about the quality of cut due mostly to the method of hanging the deck.
? I recently bought one A week ago & It's showing LOW OIL PRESS. Oil is good , Has anyone had do same problem if so how can I fix that
Yep
..same.. 20 hrs...wtf. anyone?
I love mine but there is only one thing I dislike. The grass chute doesn't go down enough and it throws everything every where even on the rider. How can this be fixed
Have had mine for two weeks. Assembly was terrible, throttle comes out and stays in your hand, could not time steering handles,seat missing bolts, battery bolts were not tightened.
Took it back and received a second mower same problems except the choke cable was smashed on The engine securing bracket.. I hope I don't get a third.
Check yours over....
My sisters boyfriend just bought this brand new and his headlights dont come on. Help
We have pulled grain augers with our cub cadet zero turn
I like when the guy says he can't see to mow at night. I'm guessing that since he wears his sunglasses on a cloudy day he probably wears them at night too.
Just bought my 2020 ZT2 60”
I wish you didn't cut the vid when you took the wrench off.. I can't get my wrench off.. just don't wanna over-force it and snap the plastic it's in. Is there some trick to it?
No way I could go to this after owning a Cub M60 Tank. Of course it was $8700 in 2007. Has been a fantastic mower. Replaced 1 tensioner pulley and 1 belt. Currently has a brake cable broke. Everything else is original. Kept the oil changed and the 17 zerks greased. Going on 700 hrs and hopefully lasts a few more years.
No one cares
Thank you for letting us know. You have very good information regarding the equipment and don’t even worry about other comments that are Sarcasm.
I'm not into taking it back to the dealer for much of anything. I've had a Cub Cadet RZT 50 for 14 seasons now. I beat the tar out of it, so yeah, I have to work on it and rebuild the weak points, but most people don't work them as hard as I do. I would buy one again, but expect to have to work on it at some point after I've had at it. Like I said, 14 seasons and I think I can get another 14 out of it!
I just got mine and now will not turn over and can not find out why
I'm liking this mower! I'm tired of of fixing my cub cadet everytime I mow. Put a 60 in plus deck on it and I'm in love
Just bought a 60" at TS Happy so far.
I bought one and it's the biggest POS mower I have ever had. Good thing I have a huskavarna mower it never let's me down. Now I have the prettiest yellow and black piece of yard art in the neighborhood lol. Hope you have better luck with yours
Details? Pos must have alot of things wrong with it to earn that title, considering this is so much more user friendly than every other brand in $ range.
@@dh4094 I'd like to see his reciept. He's bogus. It's got a 3 year warranty that could not have expired by now. Translation: I call BS on this guys comment.
@@mrmichaeltscott crazy cause I bought a zt2 50", and I've been doing 6 hours a day dethatching aerating and mowing. Haven't missed a beat.... although it was delivered low on hydro fluid, which is really unacceptable.
My club cadet z71 has no hour meter for 3400 I think it should
I have the zt1 50. No hour meter but I love it
You can get an hour meter for about $50. Super easy to install, takes about 5 minutes.
I put a 2 in. Ball on the front of my zoom 1634 areins to move my small 4 by 8 trailer around my yard.
shy no arm rests?
I have the same mower just bought it and it did not come with hour meter any reason why?
Hmm not sure
Just bought mine 3 days ago.. same exact mower but no hour meter too.
Lol the guys seem like they’re tryna push a “fell off a truck” sale 😂😂
For some strange reason these two remind me of Lenny and Squiggy from Laverne and Shirley
2 questions. What is the issue with the Kohler engine and has the deck vibration issue been resolved
Where an I get a hitch for this mower
check out your local Cub Cadet dealer
I had to stop and take a look at it when I saw it in HD definitely catches your eye
Love the video but I’ll take my Scag Liberty Z any day for residential use.
Was more like an informational !! Were tou paid for doing this ?
It’s all about the hydros and engine. That’s the important part.
I put spot lights on the side and 18 led bar. On front.. its factory LEDs are trash.
Click bait......"99% DON'T KNOW"?? DONT KNOW WHAT?? Click bait.
Ever heard of promotion and marketing?
100% don’t know why the deck can’t be successfully leveled on 99% of the residential Ultimate ZT1
99% don't know what these dudes are talking about.
Axle is offset to it doesn’t line up with the spindles....
Test out the zero turn with the tank treads next
yes
It's amazing the ride on this machine or actually the zt2. It feels perfect in every way.
When the mowers on but not running is it normal for a low oil light?
@@419Ragz no
I want stuff sent to me to sample man i have the older cub and love it
Same here
Title 99% don’t know this. *Watches video* no mention. Lol
This is why I don't watch these guys.
Thanks. Saved me the time of watching
@@Hammerback972 it’s a great mower though!
In the pic it looks like they're just releasing the back wheels. Anyone that has been on a zero turn should know about this...
@@menwithven8114 mine are shit. They won’t work correctly. I mow roughly 40 acres a month has 200 hours on it now. Had to tow it once. Lol. They don’t do shit for me!
They are the#1selling residential mower in america
I just bought one and love it but it needs a fuel gauge
That's the one we got and we love it. Mowing is fun again and FAST. 👍😎👌 BTW I have mowed 3' tall weeds with no problems at all, nasty roses and briars to boot. Up a steep hill at that. 2 passes to perfection. You're right. Cars going by slow way down to check it out. I call it my Indy mower.
I just got mine today, put it together and made my yard bigger, (only so far I was willing to go with a push mower). I was trying to be super careful with up-hills, (first rider I ever had). If it starts flipping, (and it weighs 570 lbs), all you can do is jam it in reverse and hope for the best. But if you panic a bit, like I did, you jam the bars forward and fly up the hill. I am glad for 2 things there. 1) glad it did not flip, and 2) glade I can climb my steepest section. :) Just wanting to lean how to drive this new machine, (for me), makes mowing fun. Yea, I think it looks like a dirt oval, open wheel, sprint car more than a lawn mower.
I was told not to use deck wash because it can mess with greased components.
Ya I was told by my cub cadet dealer to use it once a month and again before you store it for the winter
The deck spindles have sealed bearings so water doesn't affect it either way
I like the fabricated steel deck and dial height adjustment, but wish they would have kept the Honda GX engine. #TIACREW
So what’s the “99% don’t know” thing you have on the thumbnail for this video?
What about the deck vibrations on these mowers lots of people are complaining about? I hope you cover that in the mowing video.
Gino20202 They dont know , they are amongst the 99%
Gino20202 Deck vibrations mostly come from imbalance of the blades , wrongly sharpened and mounted without balancing !!
marsenmoon yea, but not from brand new machines run for the first time. None of that should be an issue or causing the deck to rattle like people are complaining about.
@@Gino20202 Yep it's a definite issue I'm dealing with on my zt1 50. Has been repaired and is greatly improved but still not enough...
I just bought a zt2. I have not experienced any vibrations that seem beyond normal operation. Although my sensitivity to it may be down from my previous mower. That one vibrated so much my Fitbit registered 20,000 steps after an hr of mowing.
Subliminal attack on VCGConstruction? I hate their clickbait thumbnails but hmmm
I got one last year at the end of summer it already is blowing black smoke and the gears for reverse don't work properly! $3,300.00 really disappointed
I like the steering wheel model better i can drink my beer when I'm mowing
takes some practice but I can drive my zero turn with 1 hand. Tight turns are tough but everything else not hard
I didn't know Kevin Nealon was doing mower reviews now.
