Description
Constructed with a continuous 2-inch tubular steel frame, the Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1 46in zero turn mower withstands continuous lawn maintenance vibrations across rugged residential acreage. Budget stamped-deck mowers flex and twist over uneven lawns, resulting in uneven blade heights and premature chassis fatigue. Cub Cadet engineers this machine with a fully fabricated 11-gauge steel deck, a stiff tubular backbone, and a high-torque V-twin engine engineered to conquer dense grass without hesitation.
Dual Hydro-Gear EZT maintenance-free transaxles deliver smooth steering control up to 7 MPH forward speed, pivoting around flower borders, bird baths, and patio corners. The deep 4.5-inch AeroForce deck pulls air upward, lifting limp grass blades for a crisp, level cut across manicured bluegrass, fescue, and ryegrass. A plush high-back seat cushions the operator against ground bumps, turning routine property upkeep into an enjoyable ride.
