Description
During continuous 8-hour mowing shifts on rolling terrain, the Cub Cadet Ultima ZTS1 42in zero turn mower delivers automatic engine torque adjustment through smart IntelliPOWER technology. Thick wet turf patches cause standard small engines to lose RPM, resulting in ragged cut lines and clogged discharge chutes. This 42-inch machine features IntelliPOWER digital engine control that monitors blade RPM and injects up to twenty percent more power when resistance spikes, keeping blade tip speed constant.
Synchro-Steer steering wheel control synchronizes front steerable wheels with dual rear hydrostatic transaxles, delivering positive four-wheel control on hillsides up to 20 degrees without downhill caster slide. The 42-inch AeroForce fabricated deck pulls air upward through the cutting chamber, discharging dense grass clippings uniformly across the lawn without windrowing. An adjustable high-back seat cushions the operator against ground bumps, turning hilly property upkeep into a comfortable drive.
