Cub Cadet Ultima Series ZT1 Mower in action - Mowing the Lawn with a Zero Turn Mower 

Just bought this mower yesterday and used it for the first time. It’s an epic machine!!!! Love it

Thank you....Just bought a house and it comes with a Cub Cadet mower. 4yrs old. Good vid.!

Just bought one and this video will help. Thanks for taking the time to making other lives easier. Go cub cadet!!!

I just bought one. Waiting for it to be delivered in a few days. In the meantime, I found your video and it has me convinced that I made a great choice. Can't wait to get it!

Excellent review! I own the Ultima ZT1-54 24 HP and was going to do a review myself. After watching your review, I find no reason to do one myself. I wanted to compliment you on your use of drone photography. As a certified drone pilot (part 107), my compliments to whoever filmed and edited those scenes. As for the Ultima ZT1-54 24 HP, I highly recommend it to those considering a high quality zero-turn mower.

I think you talked me and my husband into this one. The hose attachment and easy blade adjustments are what sold me! Thanks - wish we could definitely give you credit for our purchase

The hills are alive with the sound of mowing.

Beautiful countryside! Love my Cub Cadet. Does a great job.

Got one yesterday, couldn't stop mowing the property, too much fun

I, also, enjoy my Cub Cadet, Ultima Seties ZT1 54 mower. We live in the Cherokee National forest on a 70 acre farm. Our road up Stansbury Mountain is 1/2 mile long and pasture is 30 acres along a 3/4 mile road. Mow all this area an about 1 acre around the 20X30 foot barn in the pasture. Mowing time was cut in half with zero turn mower over conventional steering wheel 2 blade mower. This is the 2nd season for this mower. Found it much easier to remove deck to sharpen blades rather than to lift up mower in front. Also recommend to use a "All American Sharpener" rig to guide sharpening process. 7000 Series Kohler engine more than sufficient to mow my very hilly location in Turtletown, TN. 😊

Watching you mow all that acreage with that mower is awesome, i have about 10 yards i mow every week and looking into one of those mowers

Mine was just delivered on Tuesday! Mowed yesterday, what a sweet ride! Did a great job. I enjoyed your video and learned a few things I didn't know. Thanks so much!

Picked mine up over the weekend/mowed an acre and a third in 45 min. Nice mower, nice cut. Had a 48 and when my yard doubled in size,,,actually a little more than doubled, I moved up to 54. Looking forward to using this mower for years to come. 🧸

First video I’ve seen where the owner isn’t belly aching about a vibrating deck

Great video, I went out and purchased the exact same mower. Works like a dream. Your video saved me the tedious task of my usual operator manual dive

Good video!! Have the same mower I have 3 acres of flat land I put the mulching kit on and love everything about this machine 2 years old!!

We got one on Sunday. We have 6 acres and have been using a Typical ride on tractor mower. It use to take me 10 hrs, a lot of back pain, constant slipping of the Belt, to get everything done. When I got on the Cub Cadet, Same one you have, I was done with everything in 3 hrs. Also I am a Disabled Vet with an amputation, Using this mower was NO problem. I felt like I was sitting in a Lazy boy chair and had NO back pain when done. It also went over the Mole holes with easy and didn't so much as slow it down.Went thru the First Mow of the year, high dense grass easily without hesitation, Best Piece of equipment we have ever bought

Great video. I just took delivery of my Cub Cadet ZT1 today and will use it for the first time tomorrow.

Great review, thank you for taking the time to explain and show video footage. I'm preparing to buy a zero turn and this was helpful! I'm considering this same machine in the 50".

My brother-in-law needs that for his lawn care business he will be glad to do a video for RU-vid and for Cub Cadet on one

I just bought one today. Thank you for telling about the hose attachment to wash off grass clippings

*Me:* You live in a city apartment you don't need a lawn mower. *Also Me:* Dang I kinda want that lawn mower.

Love my ZT1, great mower! I added a suspension seat which made a big difference in ride quality.

Thanks! Great video. Just purchased a 50 inch one

Glad you posted this! I'm building my home out on our 10 acres currently. We'll be moving in in July. I've been trying to figure out how big or small I need to go to get it mowed. Currently it's like 3-4ft tall and I have someone going out ther to shred it. It's all flat farmland so I dont have to worry too much about obstacles. Thanks for the video!

Have one of these being delivered tomorrow. Never used a zero turn. Looking forward to it.

Solid review, nice drone and tripod footage, too. Thanks!

Thanks Pete great review and again what a spectacular view!

We believe in Cub cadet that is our favorite ZTr WeMo 7 days a week one day hopefully be sponsored by Cub cadet

Love my Cub Cadet! This video is spot on. 👌

I’m shopping for a Zero Turn now, this video answered a LOT of my questions. I really love the quick ajustment for the cutting height. Of course, I don’t have ten acres, so I’ll look at the 42 inch model, hopefully it has ALL of the cool things that your’s has.

Yes I'm very pleased with my cub cadet more

Hello from Nova Scotia! What a beautiful property. Thanks for the video . Very informative!

I love my Cub Cadet RZT S Mower. Mine is 42 in cutting.

Great review and love the beautiful property. If I had to guess, I would say this is southwest Montana.

10 acres with a 54".. I cannot fathom how long it takes you to mow!

Great review! I currently have the LTX1050KW with the 23hp Kawasaki engine. It's a 2012 tractor style and has 518hrs. on it. It has been an excellent mower but I am seriously thinking about buying one of these, especially since my sister has been bugging me to purchase mine for about 2 yrs. now! Mine will be a step up for her since she currently mows with a 42'' JD! Thanks!

I’ve had this mower for going on a month now. I absolutely love it. Yes it has a Kohler engine instead of a Kawasaki,but so far it’s been great. I guess the only possible nit pick I would have would maybe be the gas tank is only 3.5 gallons but it hasn’t bothered me yet.

awesome detailed review about the lawn mower.

Got one of these/good value/good quality.

3m50s - 4m01s You got about 30% of vegetation left uncut after one pass. Classic for cub cadet...as the deck go boing boing boing. Not try yourself on an Ariens Apex 60" for the same price then watch dust collect on cadet. Lil led ligts are just cute for awhile. I mounted a 32" light bar..and man can u see how the cut is doing in great detail ! Good vid. Thanx.

Awesome review. How is the fuel consumption? I am in the market, I have 4 acres of very flat with one minor hill. Can the 3.5 gallon tank finish this without refill? What is your experience with your 10 acres?

Thanks for the review. I'm curious about how easy it is to service the mower. Filters, grease fittings, blade removal for sharpening, etc...

Cheers from the philippines

RU-vid should label this video under a heading of Inspirational. Inspirational to the folk with 2 acres or less to mow each week.....

Very informative! Thanks!

Just FYI the 50 is the same price but is special in the zt1s that it comes standard with the FR691 Kawasaki they really are great mowers for the cost

Remember to engage the PTO at half throttle, especially if you frequently get off and on. This will make your pto live longer.

My wife walked in while I was watching this video and I said, Hey babe thats the mower I just bought. She said, it's nice but why so big? Because, honey, because....

I don't know, I think I would have gone for the 60", all that land you got. But it looks like a nice mower, thanks for the review sir!

I just bought a 50 and love it.

Just bought this to mow around 6 acres. Cannot wait

I watched your video to get details on the ZT1, but by the time it was over I found myself insanely envious of your property. I believe I saw a windsock at 2:30. I hope you're landing airplanes out there!

I just got this same mower and like it a lot

How did you get your property to look like that? Looks great 👍

Can you operate the mower with one hand, or do you have to park to drink from the cup in the cup holder?

Very very nice machine I wouldn't mind having 1

Left side hydro on mine just went out after less than 5 hours on a brand new mower. Repair shop said mine is the 3 he's repaired in a month. Problem now is the hydro is on backorder and I'm out my brand new mower indefinitely. At least it's covered under warranty.

Glad you finally resurfaced on the tube. Lol ... I'm praying one day you'll build a recreation pond on your property. Perfect place to have one. ☺ God Bless you and your family Pete. P.S. Check out Aquascape Ponds on RU-vid and the owner Greg the Pond Guy also on RU-vid for more Pond ideas. Lol 😎

My god, how many acres is your property? seems like you need a huge tractor and not a zero turn.

How rough is the ride? I've got a really bumpy yard.

hey Pete great video after tons of research I finally decided to go with cub cadet ZT1 54 all thanks to your video I never owned a mower before we bought our first home with almost 2 acres of land we are waiting for delivery for our cub cadet what advise you can give us to prepare for delivery and getting the mower ready for auction thanks

Great video! Just went and ordered mine today!

I bought a zero turn cub cadet but can't find how to turn headlights on.

When you mow your 10 acres how many times do you have to fill the gas tank up?

Still finding rocks on the property? Would they all be gone after the first time you mowed and removed them?

I have the 2015 rzt 54 and I love mine too

Great video, good review

Great video thanks for making it

It looks like a really nice mower. I wish you had mentioned the price. I guess I'll just have to Google it.

Do you like the koler engine ?.

Thanks. Great review

No weird stuff but where do you live? Like what State/area is this video from? You have the view that I dream of and plan to retire soon

Wow. 54 inches for 10 acres. Must be on that baby for plenty hours!

Out of your 10 acres, how much would you say you mow? 6 acres?

How does the Cub Cadet ULTIMA ZT1 compare to the Ariens IKON X Mower?

Prob should have gotten the ZT2 60. Bigger and you can service the hydros since I have so much to mow.

I’m having trouble turning it on pls help

I paint some of the parts on this lawnmower and other cub cadet mowers

I expect this mower will last several seasons with decent care. ru-vid.comUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend Also, I ran across the problem with it not starting the 2nd time I used it. There is a safety switch which is pushed in by the chute or mulching piece being attached to the deck. I took the cover off and it wouldn't start. Put it back on, no problem. It takes only a minute with 2 easily accessible wingnuts and no tools. This mower starts up first crank each time and it is a joy to use. It also mows in reverse by putting the key to the reverse area after starting and pushing in the triangular button. It will stay in reverse mode until you turn it off. All in all, for my homeowner needs, I really like this mower-and at 70 bucks a cut here in Miami, it's already more than 1/3 paid for itself in a month.

I have 26 acres and it’s going to have 2-3 houses on it by the time we’re finished, would I need a larger mower? I have access to a small tractor and bush hog but I’ve never seen a lawn cared for with a bush hog.

Does this Cub have a Hero discount

My mower has been leaving a 4 inch strip in the middle not cutting but I didn’t notice inch difference between the front and rear of mower?

1/3 acre is enough for me, but I sure would like to have a 10 acre lot like yours.

What about deck vibration? I’ve seen several videos about the deck vibration complaints.

I can’t get the rubber output flap to go down. I see nothing about it in the owners manual.

They should’ve sent you a bigger mower

Is there any way to get deck height above 4.5 to 5 or 5.1

Hi DIY Pete we have 10 eacers land and it's cost us to hire a rider on mower about every fortnightly and in summer time almost about every week can you help us This video and this machine it looks perfect ,so please DIY Pete can we meet please?

What is the price of the mower?

This mower is rated at 4 acres a week if you’re doing all 10 acres in two weeks you’re still doing more than it’s rated at

I can see one downside - there is no cruise control, like a pedal for keeping it going straight.

update front adjustable rod locking nut fell off made the way out of level

Is this golf course? Otherwise I dont understande all this effort.

3 grand at Home Depot.

Way too small of a unit to mow that much,Your warranty will be void when they see the hours you’ve put on it since purchase

I have one , I'm not a big fan, I have a huskavarna it does a much better job.. the cut off this machine isn't all that great either..

Nothing but trouble with mine , bad carburetor, warranty will not cover ...0nly 16 hours and they want over $ 500.00to repair ... steer clear of cub cadet and their shixxy warranty
