Cub Cadet Ultima ZT2 54in Zero Turn Mower – Heavy Duty

Description

Prevent transmission overheating and power loss on slopes using the Cub Cadet Ultima ZT2 54in zero turn mower across demanding multi-acre properties. Steep grades and heavy towing strain light-duty mowers, causing hydraulic fluid breakdown and sluggish steering response on hot summer days. This heavy-duty machine combines commercial Hydro-Gear ZT-2800 serviceable transaxles, an expansive 54-inch fabricated 11-gauge deck, and a high-displacement 24HP commercial engine built to maintain full cutting speed.

Dual Hydro-Gear ZT-2800 transaxles incorporate internal charge pumps to maintain fluid pressure, driving large 20-inch rear drive tires at forward speeds up to 7.5 MPH. The heavy welded 2-inch tubular steel chassis resists torsional twist when crossing drainage ditches, keeping the cutting deck level for a scalp-free turf cut. A spring-assisted foot deck lift allows operators to raise the deck effortlessly when clearing road curbs and gravel driveways.
