Description
Spinning three high-lift commercial cutting blades, the Cub Cadet Ultima ZTS1 50in steering wheel zero turn mower discharges clippings evenly across rolling estate lawns without turf clumps. Country acreage owners lose valuable hours when mowing slopes with lap-bar mowers that require constant steering corrections to avoid sliding. This 50-inch machine combines an 11-gauge fully fabricated AeroForce steel deck with Synchro-Steer steering wheel control, sweeping through dense grass on hillsides up to 20 degrees at speeds up to 7 MPH.
Dual Hydro-Gear hydrostatic transaxles provide responsive ground drive power, tracking straight along property borders and pivoting smoothly around obstacles. The deep fabricated deck structure generates high airflow velocity that lifts grass blades upright, dispersing fine clippings uniformly across the lawn. Operators select deck height quickly using an intuitive dial selector paired with a foot-assist pedal, ensuring rapid clearance when crossing stone walkways and gravel drives.
