Cub Cadet Ultima ZTS1 42in Zero Turn Mower – Steering Wheel

Description

Need to upgrade hillside mowing safety without sacrificing zero-turn agility? The Cub Cadet Ultima ZTS1 42in steering wheel zero turn mower provides four-wheel directional control that eliminates downhill slide on steep 20-degree slopes. Traditional lap-bar zero-turn mowers have unsteered front casters that swing downhill on slopes, making hillside mowing dangerous and unpredictable. This 42-inch machine uses an automotive-style steering wheel to guide the front wheels while independently controlling the rear hydrostatic transaxles.

A high-torque V-twin engine delivers dependable combustion torque to drive twin cutting blades through dense spring grass. Dual Hydro-Gear hydrostatic transaxles provide smooth ground control up to 7 MPH forward speed, while wide rear drive tires protect soft lawn sod from wheel slip marks. The fabricated 11-gauge AeroForce steel deck features an optimized underside shape that accelerates grass discharge velocity, preventing clumps during fast mowing runs.
