Description
Delivering true 20-degree hillside stability, the Cub Cadet ZTXS4 48in zero turn mower conquers steep slopes and tight commercial properties without front caster slide. Traditional lap-bar zero-turn mowers lose downhill steering traction when front casters drift on damp incline turf, forcing operators to slow down or risk slide-offs. This 48-inch machine incorporates Synchro-Steer steering wheel technology that synchronizes steerable front wheels with commercial-grade Hydro-Gear ZT-3100 transaxles, delivering positive hill-holding stability.
Serviceable Hydro-Gear ZT-3100 transaxles feature external spin-on oil filters and steel cut gears, delivering positive wheel torque up to 8.5 MPH forward transport speed. A fabricated 10-gauge AeroForce steel cutting deck withstands impacts from hidden tree roots and rocks, while the deep deck profile pulls air upward to discharge grass clippings uniformly without windrowing. The foot-operated mechanical deck lift allows operators to raise the deck effortlessly when clearing road curbs and gravel driveways.

Acreage Productivity & Trailer Packing
Covering up to 3.5 acres per hour at 8.5 MPH forward speed, this 48-inch machine requires 52 inches of trailer deck width with the discharge chute raised, fitting neatly onto standard landscape trailers.
Warranty Coverage & Field Maintenance
