My daughter bought this exact model, 2 yrs ago, and one of her goals was, help/ pull, dad into the 21st century… (I was hooked on using a 30+ yr old garden tractor… ),didn’t take long for me to recognize huge advantages in speed and comfort… so, last spring, I got a cub cadet Z2, 60” at a dealership.. priced a bit higher, with larger Kawasaki engine, larger tires, upsized 2800 tranny, $4300, included an extra set of blades… their both great machines, I do the maintenance on both of them, and I agree with all your maintenance tips…:)

@kansasgardener5844 2 месяца назад

After owning my ZT1 42" FAB for a while now, there's a few things I've learned about this mower. The fabricated deck is indeed NOT fabricated. It's more of a stamped design hybrid if you will. It is, however, heavy duty compared to the all stamped deck. Never use water on your deck! Especially if it's hot. The water will be drawn into the spindle bearings, causing the bearings to rust. The plastic seat bumpers are really hard and dont help the ride quality at all. I replaced them with 3" Harley seat springs, and that made a big difference. The mower doesn't come with a strap to keep the seat in place while leaning it forward. Bought one from Amazon. The mower does not come with an hour meeter but is available from Cub cadet. Buy one, and it will help with the maintenance schedule. Do I like the mower. Yes, very much so. I hope my tips will help if someone's looking to buy a Cub cadet. As for the vibrating belt I talked about on my other post, I just learned to live with it.

The manual says to clean under the deck with water

@kansasgardener5844 26 дней назад

@mikemccarthy6939 I know what they tell you to do, but I also know what you shouldn't do. I never spray any of my mowers with water. First, it will destroy spindle bearings and could or probably will rust your deck. I have a 30 year old Dixon sitting in my garage that has never had new bearings put in and it also has no rust on the deck. Proof is in the pudding.

I have had two of these over the last five years or so, they have given me stellar service. The first one I thought I lost the transmission so I went out and bought a second one, but it turns out that the only problem was the spring had popped off the paul that interacts with the disc cog and locks the wheels. After I popped that spring back into place it ran just fine. I ended up selling it to a friend and he still uses it to this day to mow 7 acres+ at his place I’m mowing about 2 1/2 at my place. I took off the pulley guards because grass was gathering up in there and It was very hard to remove. Once I took the guards off the deck pulleys, I had no problem with grass. It blew off the deck as I mowed. One thing to watch out for is the throttle cable, will rust and get stuck, and you will have to replace it. The only other trouble I have had with this last one is that the seal for that disc brake cog went bad and I had to replace it. I found it on McMaster - Carr for eight dollars. The cub cadet dealer couldn’t even find that seal on the diagram. He said I’d have to buy the whole transmission to get that seal! One last thing, you need to keep the underside of the deck clean. As grass builds up, there will be a stripe of uncut grass left between the right side and middle blades. They really don't over lap. All in all, I can highly recommend this mower. PS: Can you do a video on changing the transmission fluids?

@IndRepair 7 месяцев назад

Awesome! Glad to hear it has been going well for you! I do not currently have a video on the transmission fluids on these but I believe there are a few out there. Thanks for watching and for your first hand informstion!!

@TexasScout 7 месяцев назад

I have seen one, unfortunately the only way they could figure out how to do. It was to vacuum out the fluid and even doing that they could only get 1/4 of the time and it holds 2 quarts. There’s no drain plug.

@IndRepair 7 месяцев назад

@@TexasScout There is a manual you can download from Hydro Gear at www.hydro-gear.com/download/zt-2100-zt-2200-ezt/ that will explain how to do this. If you cannot get to the fill port on the top to remove the plug and fill it then the hydro would have to be removed to do the hydro oil change. I have seen them designed both ways but I do not remember on this one how it is set up. Thanks for watching!

Considering my options to upgrade from a Cub 1045 to one like this. Lots of viable options. I do think using the blower we have out already for yard work is a good idea to get the grass off the mower after every cut. No matter what brand or style.

@robhayes5320 6 месяцев назад

I’ve owned my 54 p for 20 months and the left hydro seal (brake cog )is leaking so it’s at the repair shop being fixed under warranty unless I hear different. For some reason the seal backs out maybe it’s a touch to small . Using a special locktite when putting the new one in should help the back out thats what the service guy said.mine cuts good but the original blades that came on machine are cheap metal got 2 seasons out of them sharpened them once .took the deck off to do maintenance underneath and the blades were shot metal pieces missing on all blades.what a surprise! Got new blades low lift from tractor supply not cheap but way better metal . I have some bare areas not so much grass hopefully these blades help not creating as much as a dust storm like the height lift blades. Wish the mower went a little faster speed. Thank for the vid!

I purchased a zt1 50" , basically the same one that he is reviewing. No hour meter pissed me off, but not a deal breaker . No deck clean out washer, you can see where they capped it off as they are too cheap to continue installing them, but you can buy it aftermarket for less than $20. The blades are basically crap as they have put 'S' spindles on them instead off 'star' spindles, and that adds about $20 to blade replacement costs. You can get 3rd party 'squashed hexagon' shaped blades that will fit the spindle and are much beafer.

Good video Just need to tell people that if you have the Kawasaki engine you have to replace the air filter with only a Kawasaki air filter If you don’t it voids warranty After warranty do what you want Just letting everyone know cause my Kawasaki has major problems and dealer sent photos and Kawasaki saw that the air filter wasn’t factory and Kawasaki voided my warranty Know I’m stuck with a new mower that is junk and have to replace Just trying to help everyone Doesn’t matter what make you have If it’s a Kawasaki engine don’t go to Napa and get a filter Only use Kawasaki parts if under warranty

@IndRepair 10 месяцев назад

Warranties are voided for many reasons but in my opinion most cases they are useless anyway. They just give you a reason for the problem to be diagnosed at a dealer so they can tell you it is not covered and xyz amount it what it would cost to fix it.

@AugustPowell-hz2vo 10 месяцев назад

Delivered a nice even cut, has the super tight turning ability ru-vid.comUgkx1VWTrayKBdCKAjzAcZ_Eg4dhHTae3LkN also recommend I was looking for, and is just a blast to drive. It takes a little bit to get used to driving one after driving a normal tractor style, but once you've got it, you've got it. If you're cutting lines, you have to be careful spinning the mower around or the back tire will dig a bare spot. Just take it nice and slow during the turn and then it's back to full throttle across the yard!

I enjoyed your video about this model. One question - you talked about cleaning grass off of various parts behind the engine and below. Since I've read that you can't use water to spray things off how/with what do you do the cleaning? One disadvantage I have is that I can no longer get down on my knees which I would think would make it more difficult.

Compressed air or a leaf blower work well. Water can also be used but you want to make sure it is completely dried out before trying to start after washing. Thanks for watching!

One of the best things you can do to these is rip off the plastic seat bumpers and replace with 3 inch motorcycle seat springs barrel type , send them back to Mr cadet with love (receiver pays) .also,if you do your own blades ,get a blade balancer ,cheap as chips . If you need to double stripe your grass for the "neighbours " maybe get a life first, mower second.

@Daves2024 rip off the bumpers, there's a hole in between the 2 slots that secured the bumper, screw, or nut and bolt the spring down. The point of getting motorcycle seat springs is that they make this easy, a standard coil spring is hard to fit.

this is by far the worst purchase I have ever made. a Walnut took out an arbor, somehow that also bent the deck (paper thin) 700 dollars. i have needed service 2 times in 2 years and nothing is covered. don't waste your time calling cub cadet because they could not care less about their reputation. I walk my yard but I never thought a walnut was enough to take out a 4000 dollar machine...the question is do i even spend the 700 to fix on a bic lighter?

This has the fabricated deck which is much thicker. I would think yours was the stamped deck model? Warranties at all levels anymore are useless it seems. That's just for them to switch the shell out too probably?

@@IndRepair He comes here to complain, but too busy to answer your question? I'm skeptical that a Walnut took out a spindle which is what I'm assuming he's talking about. Not to mention bending the deck, even a stamped deck. Something doesn't add up.

The stuff you light with the Bic might just be your problem 🤪

I have had a Zt1 3.2 years and it’s been junk for the last 2 years. The clutch just fell off and now there is an electrical problem to engage the new Pto clutch It’s not uncommon to find parts that fall off in the yard. Junk junk junk.

@IndRepair 11 месяцев назад

Never heard of issues like this on them. What engine and setup do you have? Where did you buy it? Almost seems like it has to be the assembly that went wrong from where you got it

@JawIII550 11 месяцев назад

It has the Kohler engine and I purchased it at Tractor supply. Hopefully a Pto switch will fix this current issue.

42 hours on mine , nothing but trouble , warranty is worthless.

That is interesting. Haven't heard too much in the way of issues on them. What have been the main issues?

Yep I agree it’s pure hell getting anything done They even block your phone number

@pajamatime5750 Год назад

That’s total BS. I’ve dealt with Cub Cadet for other products and find them great to deal with…. Maybe find a different dealer or go directly to CC…. They certainly don’t block phone numbers.

They do in fact have a hour meter.

Ok...can you share where this is located on this model?

Never buy any riding lawn mower from the big box stores. First: they don't know how to put them together and second: they wash their hands of it after 30 days and tell you to call Cub Cadet if you have problems and you will have problems. you will get juggled from one to the other with nowhere to turn. The ZT1 is the cheapest (in quality) you could get, 2 ply tires that are paper thin, the lowest quality engine of each brand, the Hydros are the cheapest, the deck vibrates, and they throw belts. If you must buy the CC ZT get the ZT 3,4,5 or better yet, buy the commercial grade, you will pay more for quality and like my pappy says, you get what you pay for.

This mod has the deck upgrade instead of stamped deck. I dont see hardly any issues with this deck setup. Getting help with a warranty often takes much persistance no matter the company anymore (buying at a dealer you will normally get better service & repairs, yes) The assembly techs at dealerships are many times just as unskilled as box store assembly techs (not going to put your best guys on assembly as they make much more on repairs) Yes this is the cheapest of the line but the ZT4 is almost twice as much. Many better options available when you get to that price point. Definitely true if you spend more you will get a better quality (most cases). These are sold at dealerships and the box stores. Thanks for watching!

In 2 years, my drive belt has come off 3 times. $200 repair and 4-6 weeks with no mower. ZT1 50 inch. Don’t buy this junk.

You could be accurate in saying something like this about most mowers out there today but how you take care of it directly correlates to how it treats you in most cases. Thanks for watching!

Cub Cadet vs. John Deere. $3400 Zero Turn comparison! There is a clear winner
