Excellently done & to the point video! Thanks for your efforts!
There's no excuse for still using lap bars. Cub makes them with smaller decks and the same size engine, which means more torque. Nothing gets loose on them, so just ignore the drop out trolls. I only have 15 years experience on them and am the ONLY one in my neighborhood that hasn't ended up in our lake because I'm the only one that has a zero turn with a steering wheel, so take it for what it's worth.
Good vid mate, the layout and the video itself is well presented👍
You’re such a pro. It’s the little things that make such a big difference. ❤
I was told via Instagram to comment and say “hey” haha good to see a video from you bro !
I went to a Skag dealer looking to buy a zero turn to mow a 20 deg slope. They had a 20 deg hill at this dealership so I asked the salesman to show me how the mower handles that slope. He had a little trouble keeping the mower straight so I asked him to let me try the mower on the slope he said no I wasn't experienced which I wasn't so I bought a Cub Cadet ZTS1 46 this will do a 360 deg turn on a 20 deg slope no problem. Now it's more expensive than a lap bar but for a non professional homeowner it's worth the money
i got a cub cadet z force just for hills and banks...its a billy goat.....not crazy about the deck in wet grass...but for what i need it for...does great job.....definately better for hills and banks.....pleasantly surprised overall....
Good job showing telling, I just started looking at the zero turn mowers . and I try’Ed the bad boy it was ok next I’ll try the cub cadet. I got a old one zero turn cub cadet,so wish me luck on wish to pick. Have a good one see y’all next time see ya bye.
I came across a good deal on a used Pro Z 100 S, and I bought it because of the slopes I need to mow. You mentioned turning while going down hill... yes, it works WAY better than a lap-bar ZTR. I have a section where I mow down a hill to a large tree with low branches. With the lap-bar ZTR, I'd try to steer away from the tree, but would often wind up going into the low branches, then backing straight up the hill, then approaching differently. With the Pro Z 100, I can just steer away from the tree, and it goes right where I want it to.
Great videos man! Was gonna ask, how did you learn to do the color correction and video editing you do? Your videos are very professional looking!
I have a SZ60. My home is built on the break of a steep slope. I can mow across the slope with no control issues.
i have a maple tree at the steepest part and I can mow around it as easily as if it were on flat ground. I am sold on this drive/steering control type.
This video is really good for us.
Because we didn’t know it.
The cub cadet 972 sd is the king of zero turns turns on hills/ mountains, I mow my mountains all the time. Never an issue
That is what I needed to know
Not quite apples to apples with the dual rear wheels and wider stance but this was very interesting to see the short comings of normal zero turns!
the front wheels are not spinning casters, that's the biggest difference
That steering wheel model does do what it's supposed to and does it well, but there is a lot of parts to make it work and they get sloppy kinda quick
That's Cub Cadet for you, when new everything is tight then in a short time they get loosy goosy
Great video mate! Can't wait to give one a good demo soon
People say the steering wheels on zero turns aren’t meant for commercial use. I’d like to see their Troy built try and do the same thing this Cub does! 🤣
They may be better in certain situations but I just couldnt see me buying a steering wheel mower after running a zero turn for so long. That's me though. Good video!
Josh Sauls completely agree man, I would only buy one specifically for steep hills but that’s it
@Josh Sauls true, but if you have a lot of hills or large yards, you’d fall in love with it!
Great video Jason, I am not a fan of steering wheel zero turns but their are more people buying steering wheel zero turns! But it looks like they hold hills well!
Hey Jason, I am looking at the Cub Cadet with the steering wheel or the walker mower for steep terrain. Wondering if you have compared the two and what your opinion is?
My ZTS2-50 is pushing 30 degrees on hill sides.. plus can do a full 360 on said hill.
Shoulda had me review the cub cadet with you I use it on 35 degrees to 65 degrees or more hillsides everyday mowing levy’s and I’ll tell ya it’s not fun but the cub holds well holds better than a ventrac.
I have one of the first Steering wheel zero turns.. the Toro Time Cutter SW4200. I have rather extreme hills on my 2 acre lot.. way steeper than 20 degrees. Mine has been modded with 10" wide tires and 1.5" spacers on each rear wheel. She holds well sideways on hills that are scarey steep as long as the turf is dry. The crap stamped deck has been bent and welded numerous times with added steel and on my 3rd set of spindles. I must say the stock Toro hydrostatic drives have never failed.. pull very hard. I use my SW4200 as a tractor.. pulling a 600 lb. roller, stump grinders etc. Way beyond it's design. Every electrical item has been replaced or defeated at least once including starter, Brake Controller, switches, and solenoids. Would like to upgrade to the Cub Cadet ZTS2 but that only comes in 50" or wider deck. The 50 comes out to a smidge over 52 inches wide which won't fit thru the door of my 5x8 cargo trailer. Hmmm.. Want me some ZTS2 action, looking like I'll mod the trailer or Remove the deck to transport it.
Were you able to use the Cub Cadet and it held up on the 25 degree end of that hill? If so was that side to side travel? I have a section of my yard that is about 23 degrees and I can only travel side to side because of some surrounding rocks so I am wondering if the Cub Cadet would get the job done?
I’ve driven my Pro Z down one of my hills that’s over 45 degrees and felt comfortable. The grass was over knee high at the time. Up seemed too daunting so I haven’t tried, and side on seems like insanity.
I started out 7 years ago with a Cub Cadet RZT-46S, its been great in the whole considering it's a top-end residential machine. The only annoying, constant problems I have is with the deck. It feels a little lightweight & not up to the rigours of mowing acres of coarse grass on a daily basis. How are the 'commercial' decks stronger, & are the pulley spindles & mounts any stronger on the commercial machines?
Your RZT is a toy in comparison to the Pro Zs. Not to put the RZT, they are built for different purposes. You can actually stand on the Pro Z deck they are so overbuilt. Everything about them is buoy like a tank, and that is also why it will weigh twice as much.
Why are you not part of the lawn and landscape society event this year? Great video btw
toro "use to" make them too, 42" for residential, i almost bought one because of the steering wheel, at the time i passed, i forgot the reason, i think money at the time i was low, anyway, i really wanted it. i don't know why they don't do it anymore for residential or even commercial. i would like one of these cadet's but the price is still to much for my budget, i wish the prices would come down some.
Since there appears to be no Brake. If you are going down a steep hill, how do you slow down?
let off the accelerator pedal... the braking is through the hydraulic drive... same as a lap bar mower and there is a parking brake I guess you could use if necessary.

Hey do you think hustlers r good on hills thanks keep up the hustle stay safe brother
I got a John Deere x790
En Español tambien
Have a Z Force SX & will NEVER go back to a handle controlled zero turn.
Great around the sloped pond banks & only need 1 hand to steer.
You still around?? Miss your videos and content
I'm here ha just haven't posted anything in awhile
First
No
I would say your not supposed to use a zero turn on a hill so both you guys is wrong.
Why should it be different from driving a lawn tractor on hills? Its no problem to drive a lawn tractor on hills as long as you drive straight up and down the hill. I do it all the time with my lawn tractor and can't see why it should be problem with a zero turn mower.
Because the zero turn lawn mower the motor and drive power is in the back of the machine lawn tractor the motor is in the front so the weight will support the tractor from tipping up side down going up a hill
@@patrickgambsky6290 So why dont back up the hill and then drive straight forward down the hill? Then you would always have the weight in front of you backing up without the risk of the zero turn tipping over. This is why i dont see that it should be a problem to use a zero turn on a hill. These mowers should have enough weight on the rear wheels to back up on a hill.
My argument my preference is facts at zero turn riding lawn mowers do not belong on hills I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm just saying the safety issues what's zero turn riding lawn mowers on hills is my concerns. For your safety.
When people see these types of videos if they are not experienced on a zero-turn riding lawn mower it could be fatal that's the reason why I don't support this video. The operator's manual will tell you 100 times better than I can explain
No.
Yes
Hell yeah, the company that sponsored my video, gave me a "zero turn" that I'm going to compare to other actual zero turns and people are stupid enough to believe me! Life is good, people are stupid!
Life is great thanks man! And thank you for the view 😘 ssssssssuucka!
I’d just get a 4x4 John Deere tractor.
You talk too much without much of a demo.
