Cheetah and Cub Cadet ZT1 Mowing Same Overgrown Lawn a Year Apart 

The Cub has officially EARNED it's stripes! 42 will do it every time! Team Cub!👌🏾

I agree with your assessment. Even with Cubs biggest deck available, I have reservations about the comfort and durability of the Cub. And the added hp of the Cheetah makes a huge difference.

I absolutely LOVE my ZT1. I have ZERO regrets on spending more than I originally set out to spend on a new mower a few years ago.

The ZT1 is one of the best box store ZTRs... but nothing close to a SCAG or eXmark.... or even your ol' Great Dane I love seeing so much.

That cub done it thing for sure!!

Nice and satisfying!

I am so proud of you for comparing a commercial grade mower to a residential grade mower. Yea

Yellow one is cutting more evenly

Definitely the Cub.

I've done landscaping and mowing for 26 years I don't any more. I'm watching this video I find it hard to believe this Cub even comes close to a Scag especially it being one of if not the best mower out there. I've used them all I have not used the pro-z by

Cool video.

The bit between the drainage ditch and the road looks like mostly weeds.

Cub cadet for the win. How long will take commercial abuse is what we need to see

Missing ur videos buddy where u been

Mike, I do hope you answer this question about 2 1/2 years ago. I think it was when I mentioned you about using high octane fuel in your equipment. At least I think you will be impressed with the results and performance of your engines on the cheetah and your new yellow one I can’t think of the namecub cadet that’s it. I’m genuinely interested in what you think or if you’ve done it I hope you will or have done it. I’m interested in your thoughts about it.

👍👍👍👍👍

Cheetah!!!

I wouldnt give up my Pro-Z100 for Any Scag

Mike, have you had the rpm's checked on your Scag? I am betting they are low. They sound low to me. I have that same engine in my JD and I will tell you this- with them set at 3740 no load, they are at 3640 under load and under way and what a huge difference it makes in QOC and ability to cut thick grass. I have a tach installed on my JD to monitor them. My Scag has an EFI engine and it is really odd how it affects a tach. Can't get good readings off this one and some other guys I know with the same engine have the same issue with their tachs. I keep harping on putting your turbo baffle back in because you should. The deck was designed to be most efficient with it in there. By having it removed it causes a LOT of clippings to be re-circulated across the back of the deck and all the way around and out the front and that robs power. I've said this before, that CC does a good job for what it is.

The cheetah struggling a little bit the cub is cutting it just fine

Man that Cheetah hates cutting in reverse doesn't it? Also what are your thoughts on a grass flap? Do you think it would save you any time in clean up?

No way will I buy any mower with a stamped deck. Nice cub but wrong deck. The scag no competition. Scag wins all day.
