Maybe you could get your hands on a stump grinder or wood chipper to review?
I have both...one I just mounted to the Massey and the stump grinder goes on the Ventrac...great minds think alike!
As a Cb Cadet ZTX5 owner for the last 5 week, I can say that this is a great “Pro-sSumer” zero turn... with 15 hours on mine i can say its been great so far. Beefy and Strong. Perfect for those that have too much land for a chap residential mower but not enough need for a professional. I have the snow plow too. I have pulled a de-thatcher, Aeroator, and seed dropper. And a 400lb roller. ZERO complaints... and love the comfy features..... Cut quality is top notch. I have the 3 bagger system and is has more than enough Suck, that it doesn’t need a motor for the bagger! @CubCadet - send me some love, for dropping $6,800. ;-)
Thanks Shane...I'm glad you like it....
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Yea, that seemed like some good consumer feedback there IMO.
I bought this mower, about 3 weeks ago, to replace an undersized tractor mower that I've been using for over 3 years. This mower has cut my mow time almost in half. As a first time ZT owner I appreciated this video. I learned at least 2 new things about my own mower. Overall, super happy with the purchase.
That's great to hear! I thought it was awesome too....Even though I donated it to the local Vol Fire Dept...I'll be buying a couple hundred bucks in raffle tickets to get it back if possible...it's truly a great machine
I'm glad to see your mowing the right way throwing the clippings on the inside. A lot of people throw the grass out on the streets and driveways.
I got a Toro, and we are very pleased with it. Wife cut the grass in about 4 hours.
A Toro AND a wife that mows? Living the dream sir!
Hey Josh. I love your channel and all your reviews. I purchased a cub cadet lawn tractor 2 years ago and now have 30 hrs on it and love it.
I just got mine last week, and also have that little critter! Lol The salesman said it’s used to hold the shoot up on the display room floor. Thanks for sharing. I didn’t know the floor deck just lifted up like that. Going to try it tonight! 😂
I threw it away not knowing what it did!!😢
Good video man , i bought one of these just yesterday and they are delivering it Friday , cant wait to try it out . Thanks a lot
It looks like a very well designed and thought out mower. And its awesome they let you demo it, but it's too bad they wouldn't let you use it for a whole season to help gauge reliability for a long term buyer :)
But 10 years use would even be better, if you can wait that long. Warranty.
Thank you for helping your local fire dept.
That will be a very nice raffle prize for your Shiloh Fire Dept. My FD has had some significant donations from various civic groups, and others, over the years. Years ago I was the guy walking behind the worn-out walk-behind mower so the grass around the station didn't get out of hand. A five foot zero turn would have made short work of that. The new (1991) station gets its grass cut by our public works dept. I miss the lawn detail sometimes - NO, not really.
Thank you for the vid, and cutting tall grass. So many vids don't cut very much material and I bet we learn more about a mower's cut when we give it a challenge.
Glade to see great company's sponsoring great TH-camrs and very great of u to donate it to the local fire department
Love the video, we have the new from last year Cub with the 54” deck, what a step up cub has done in quality, I really feel these compete with the Big names in zero turns now
Great to hear!
Cub cadet was nice to give you that equipment. I know they are long lasting machines.
Thank you Josh!!!! after watching your video couple of times I end up purchasing one lol. I’m pretty it’s worth the Investment. Again thanks for all the helpful info I appreciate it.
It’s so relaxing and satisfying to see mowing done. Maybe put together some mowing Monday clips? Not just lawn mowing but hay mowing as well? Just have the drone follow you haha great content! MERICA!
Cool review would be a subsoiler tractor attachment with the pipe layer on it I've seen videos online but not from a regular person would be cool to see how they work on rockier ground if at all. Thanks.
Another good video and tool time review! That looks like a fun mower to drive. It will be a couple of years before we need a zero turn though.
Thank you for this video I just bought the ZTX4 and this is the best video I could find on how to operate
nickmeltonmortgageman4814 What are your thoughts after a year? I am about to purchase a ztx4
That is an awesome zero turn mower, that's great you're going to kindly donate it to your local fire department Josh!
Thanks for the review. Looking to get my hands on one of these.
I use the mulching kit which is blades and plug from mowers direct. Well worth it.
Would be nice to do a factory tour where the mowers and the 4 wheeler are built.
I just bought this machine. I love it.
Great to hear!
I saw a landscaper demonstrate the new Toro that has a 72" Kohler 34 hp. motor. He blew through the high grass full throttle and it didn't even bog down the engine. But that unit cost almost 3 times as much.
well, i just purchased the ztx 6 -60 today on october 24th here at the end of the season,and got it delivered today at home from the dealer on a saturday. was really thinking of getting the toro but this one is called a residential mower but the engine and the transmission was once considered commercial several years ago and it also had a 10 percent discount so i got it. i hope it lasts a long time. i may be able to get another mowing in before the big frost comes here in N.C. , at least ill have it at the beginning of the season next year.
Yep, this is my mower 👍🏻. Love it for my 10acres and yes it takes several hours to complete. Which is why I op to change my oil/filters on my own when mower needs.
Attempting to get access to/unscrewing the oil filter sucks. Should be in this video if you are giving it an all-in honest review.
Grass started finally growing here, then the temps fell, 10 day forecast looks more like February than April
Dang man...we were ducking under the trailer from a Tornado the other day down here!
Again brother great review and vid we love ya bud godbless
Holy Smokes, I don't need that mower but you sure made me want one. Lots of good stuff on that machine. Yeah Stoney Ridge, continue reviewing thoe tools.
Right on
For that tall of grass, (and even taller), on my ZT1-50" with the stock blades and discharge, I would get a lot of grass clippings, (clumps, trails and unwanted discharge), trails just like you did. I just put on the mulch kit and did an area with pretty think 8-10" tall grass, and the kit ate up the clippings amazing well IMO. There were no trails, no "over-blow" where I don't want clippings, and just a few clumps that were easy to pick up by hand, (probably where I turned in a weird way). I did have a few stragglers, (will any mower cut 10" grass with no stragglers? I don't know.). I had to run over again, but no clipping trails. I am going to use the mulch set up all the time.
We bought the zt3 60 last year. It's kindof a residential mongrol with zt3100 hydros and the kawasaki fs730v engine. This year they downgraded the engine.
We're very happy with the cut and the performance and the suspended castors and 24 inch high seat back. For a homeowner on 2 acres we found the price point irresistible at 4499 and 0 percent full term financing in their autumn deal. Cub cadet really stepped up their game with these ultima series mowers.
Hey Josh thank you for the video man I enjoyed it woo
Does it have rollers on the deck for lawn stripes?
Great looking machine for sure. This one seems to have fairly thick metal it is built from.
Thanks for the video. Wished I had one but to rich for my blood. I wonder where it is made.
We are using a Cub Cadet right now it is not that model it's a residential model 42 in zero-turn and it does amazing job we are happy with Cub Cadet
Nice video josh! Zero turns save so much time mowing!
Thank you for the video great as always
Where I live in Eastern Canada, we have snow on the ground. It is melting though .
im in renfrew county ontario and same situation here,
great cub cadet video i own 5 zt cub cadets 2 pro z 48,60 2 tanks 54,60 and 1 rtzs 50
Awesome, the donating is super nice thing to do also. 👊👍❤
Love this channel! Keep up the good work 🤠🤠🤠
Thanks so much!
Super duper job Josh! Enjoyed the video, Woooooo
YOU SIR are AWESOME, as a volunteer fire fighter I SALUTE YOU. Cheers 🍻
Great video!
Hi..... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍
Nice review. Nice to see your dump truck parked back there
Nice still getting snow over here in Michigan
Something I can honestly say coming from a lawn care business stand point is that those shocks on the caster wheels can cause varying cut heights when you hit bumps which can cause you to lose customers but for personal use it is completely up to the individual. One thing that is really nice is a seat with suspension preferably adjustable however this is all from my personal experience and others might disagree. There are many other things that I learned while doing this work that can make any zero turn produce an amazing cut but they can create more work initially and would be completely unnecessary in a farm setting
Oh they will cut that’s why they asked for a honest review lol Iv seen my neighbor cut his huge field with tall grass with them cubs when his tractor was down and it slings grass
i love cub cadet, i would love to see you review the z-force sx or any of the cub cadet steering wheel zero turn mowers, id love to see what you think, and id love to test one out myself. i have a cub cadet mx 500 and love it. i am pretty much gonna always be a cub cadet guy
Great review Josh, price was lower than expected so sounds like a good deal.!
I like that mower. Has a lot of nice "extra" features. We could really use a mower like this one. Thanks for sharing. Also enjoyed the blooper at the end.
I'm not sure what "extra features" it has other than commercial hydrostatic drive....and a great warranty...good equipment is expensive for sure...our Swisher retails around $15k
My dads just bought one I mow on it and it’s great
Awesome 👍 video
I’ve noticed for the last few years Cub has really started adding little details. I like it. Nice job on the review sir. 👍🏻 Also I cant tell how many mower side chutes I’ve drilled a hole in and bungee’d out of the way!
I was just thinking about that chute hold open thing. It's good they have something to hold it up, but at the same time I think it sucks that it's a separate piece. I can see that getting lost real easy.
Better than a zip tie or bungee strap for sure!
@@blahorgaslisk7763 Can you just take off the chute and mow without it?
@@af1966 You probably can, but it's more work than just lifting the chute when you do not want it. If you were to use the mower without the chute 100% of the time then taking it off would be the way to go.
Besides the chute is there for a reason. If you work around buildings, vehicles and people then you will want to have the chute as it gives some protection from stones and other debris shooting out from the mower. My father got the passenger side window smashed by a rock from a mower so I know things like that happens.
thank you good review , wish you would have mentioned and showed the zerc fittings on all the needed areas. Plus you mention the 500 hours on the deck , but no mention on the engine and drive warranty ?
link in the video description if you're interested in more details my brotha
Love my 23 hp Kawasaki on my husky 48 zero turn it never bogs down
Great video
Cub Cadet is a good product . I have owned a Cub Cadet tractor mower for 33 years .Maybe Cub Cadet would like to give me a good deal on a trade and use my tractor as a promotion item .Lol but you can't blame me for trying
Josh, I have a 13 year old Gravely Z260 60” ZTR. It has a 28 hp Koehler motor. I got it new and mow 3.5 acres a week here in the Ozarks. This mower is as reliable as sunrise. The only service it’s needed is an annual tune up and blade sharpening and a couple of belts in all these years of service. I’m wondering how your Cub compares. When I bought this Gravely it was the best mower available. The Cub seems like a bargain at $6500 with all its features. I have some concerns because my brother in law had a cub cadet 54” for a few years and it was a maintenance hog. But that was 15 years ago. My Gravely was $7000 13 years ago. New ones are about $8000. I’d appreciate your views.
We have an older cub cadet. It's been a pretty good machine so far but it's starting to not want to turn hard left. It seems like a traction problem but you you really work the stick it'll start turning. Someday I'll have to take a look at it. Maybe it's a hydro problem that hopefully will be an easy fix. Our other mower is a Dixon and I actually prefer that one
Beautiful lawn
OK, what were the two "bottles" under the seat just back and outside of the polymer bushings for the seat? See them at about 6:17 in the video. No windshield so it wouldn't be for that and it is an air cooled engine so you got us. Thanks for another GREAT video.
Hydrostatic drive? Those are reservoirs for the hydro fluid for each drive mechanism
I have a ZT2 60 it's Awesome
Very nice mower josh!
You treat your equipment like I do. Letting it warm up and also cool down if it needs that too.
try a ferris mower, the decks even compensate for uneven ground with thair shocks design.
Great working machine
Hi! I just moved from the city to the country side and been looking around for a zero turn. I really like the cub cadet. If you can compare the ztx5 with other cadet I would really appreciate it. I have just a little over two acres with hills. Thank you for your video.
Hey Josh thanks for the awesome review! In regards to video ideas, have you considered doing a comparison of the ATV(s) versus a light duty truck like the hundred dollar truck? If you were advising someone who is planning on reclaiming an abandoned farm which would you recommend they bought first and why? They both seem very useful but it would be interesting to hear from your experience which vehicle has added the most functionality to the farm.
Shew buddy...I would be ripped apart in a video like that bhahhaha....every time I do a UTV review 20 guys tell me about their old ford ranger that cost $500 that's way better ....it would be a funny video for sure...UTV all the way for us....it's just maneuverable and handy to zip around the farm
I love my Ultima
Would like to know about that raffle. Maybe set up online purchase?
Lights are great when cutting next to a road!! Safety!
Terrific Tool Tuesday.....your nicely giving back for those past brushfire calls (WorxLandroid would probably be only thing making it easier than this machine)
"Wow these shocks are cool" guess you have never seen a ferris. Need to check them out. Maybe see if they would want to do a comparison ride wise between the two mowers.
Please do. I have a full frame 3200z. Mowing at 10mph with a full suspension makes it way more agile than a bushhog for pasture imo. But have considered a Scag direct drive deck as this Ferris deck sucks.
Keep the tool reviews coming
Thanks buddy!
Paying it forward!
Do a review on a commercial grade John Deere and kubota lawnmowers and compare them together and have a few test and see who is the better mower
Polymer bushings can be replaced with 3 inch motorcycle seat springs, don't forget to send your old ones back.
I HATE mowing at sunset and later. That time of day is allocated for the bugs where I live in the Ozarks and they let you know you are intruding.
interesting....yep we don't have that kind of a bug problem here
Cub cadets ate one of the best
I love my Cub Cadet, but that one looks cooler.
Could you get a rototiller to maybe try out for us, or maybe a series on tillers. I know I'd like to see some different tillers. I don't remember much anymore but of course I'll be 57 this year. I hope you and Mrs stoney Ridge are doing ok during these crazy times and as always be safe!
Best mowing deck in the business IMO.
Then you've never mowed with a Scag, Toro or Exmark.
I am curious about the mower blades? Composition and sharpening??
Not sure at all...have not sharpened them
Hey Josh, great machine! The tracks in the background made me want to suggest a cool tool for you...over at @letsdig18 he used old rubber skidsteer/miniexcavator tracks to drag his pasture to spread out cow patties....pretty cool inexpensive drag...he has a recent video of it!
Josh, as much as you love American made products, you need to check out Spartan mowers. You should reach out to them to demo a mower. Awesome people. Made in Batesville, Arkansas. I have one and love it.
Thanks for the tip! I think I'm about done with mowers for the year unless someone else reaches out to me...I'd love to set dad and mom up with a mower!
I didn't know that Cub Cadet made that mower. I have a ZT2 50" with 23hp kawi. This is the first I've heard of a ZTX5... Is it new this year?
This unit cub cadet ultima ZTX Zero VS Ventrac 3400y, what's your opinion?
When's the next fencing video? Keep up the great work Mr Stoney Ridge Farmer.
So many Zero Turn Mowers - so little time... Will you be doing a "Made in America" video at the Cub Cadet plant later this year Stoney Ridge? Can't wait to see that one!!!!!
Used to own a Cub Cadet Tank mower. It was great. Which Fire Department will be getting it and how could someone purchase some tickets (on-line hopefully, I live over 5 hours away)? Thanks.
Hang tight...we've gotta work out the details..I'll announce it on facebook and youtube community page for sure!
Messicks just did a review of many different mowers yesterday, with good and bad points, i'd hate to be doing a mower review on 1 model right now.
Cool....I'll have to see what Neil is up to....we're actually doing a bit of a colab video soon
What type grass is that? How did you get it so green?
k 31 fescue! Good stuff around here
Already cutting the grass!? Here in central Wisconsin my grass was just about starting to think about growing and then we got another 6-8 inches of wet heavy icy snow. Probably won't see the ground again for a week or more.
It's warmer down here in the south
@@af1966 Started to warm up yesterday, I have some patches of grass again.
Thumbs up just for the music!
Blade maintenance?
Hey will those shocks fit the Ventrac?
Great question, those would be great on the Ventrac!
