Cub Cadet Ultima Series ZT1 50
Original price was: $3,749.00.$2,436.85Current price is: $2,436.85.
Finally found quality commercial machinery online. Robust construction, and the LTL freight shipping was flawless. Exactly what our municipality needed.
Excellent support. Had a question about the Section 179 tax deduction and they got back to me right away with clear instructions. The mower itself is a beast.
Best price I found for this type of heavy equipment. It handles the job site perfectly, and I feel extremely confident about the 3-year parts warranty. Great purchase.

A joy to operate
It turns a weekend chore into something I actually look forward to doing. Absolutely fantastic mower.
-
Got my weekends back
Used to take me 2.5 hours to mow, now I am done in just over an hour. Unbelievable efficiency.
-
Looks aggressive
The yellow and black tubular design is very sharp. It’s the best-looking mower in the neighborhood.
-
Great tires
The massive 20-inch rear tires grip the turf without tearing it up when making tight turns.
-
Instructions a bit vague
The mower itself is 5 stars, but the manual’s instructions for aligning the lap bars initially were a bit confusing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Due to the size and weight of our commercial machinery, all orders are shipped via standard LTL (Less Than Truckload) freight. The carrier will contact you prior to delivery to schedule a drop-off window. Please ensure someone is present at the delivery location to inspect and sign for the equipment.
We stand behind the robust construction of our machinery. Our 3-year parts warranty covers any manufacturing defects in major structural components, motors, and factory-installed hardware. It does not cover standard wear-and-tear items such as belts, blades, or tires.

We accept returns on unused, uncranked machinery within 30 days of delivery. Because of the logistical complexity of LTL freight, returns are subject to a restocking fee and the buyer is responsible for return freight costs. Please contact support immediately if an item arrives damaged so we can file a claim with the carrier.

Margaret F. –
At 7.5 mph, it flies across the straightaways while still leaving a perfectly level cut.
Joseph T. –
The open frame design makes it super easy to clean the deck and access the belts. Oil changes are a breeze.
David T. –
It cuts flawlessly, but the deck wash port doesn’t clean the underside perfectly. I still prefer to scrape it.
Elizabeth G. –
The Kawasaki V-Twin fires up immediately every single time. Very reliable piece of machinery.
Robert R. –
Makes my 3-acre property manageable. The 7 mph speed really covers ground quickly.
Sarah H. –
Love the tubular frame and high-back seat. It absorbs bumps well, though on very rough terrain it can still be a bit bouncy.
Edward B. –
I let my back lot get way too tall, but the ZT1 50 knocked it down on the highest setting easily.
William V. –
No cheap stamped steel here. The fabricated deck and heavy-duty frame give me confidence this will last a decade.
Robert A. –
The 23HP engine runs fantastic, but it does consume fuel a little faster than I expected. Still worth it for the time saved.
Donna N. –
I’ve put 40 hours on it this summer and haven’t had a single mechanical issue. Just routine maintenance.
Elizabeth J. –
I love that it maintains blade speed and leaves a clean cut even when backing up.
Joshua R. –
The dampeners on the lap bars make the controls feel smooth and forgiving. Great for beginners.
Deborah V. –
The rubber floor mat and high-back seat absorb a lot of the engine vibrations. Very comfortable ride.
Daniel G. –
The deck extends just far enough past the wheels that I can mow right up against my fence line.
Robert L. –
The dual hydro transmissions are completely seamless. No jerky movements when accelerating.
William P. –
Never thought I’d look forward to mowing. The lap bars are very responsive and smooth to operate.
Joseph D. –
It feels like a commercial mower but at a residential price point. Great value for the money.
Matthew C. –
Overall a fantastic mower, but I feel a slight vibration in the control arms at max speed. Not a dealbreaker.
Carol L. –
Because I finish so quickly, I actually use less fuel per week than I did with my smaller 42-inch tractor.
Kimberly A. –
My lawn genuinely looks like a golf course fairway now. The cut quality is unmatched for a residential mower.
Jennifer N. –
The factory blades on the 50-inch deck hold their edge really well. I have hit a few hidden rocks and no major damage.
Sandra M. –
The seat is very comfortable, but I wish armrests came standard instead of having to buy the add-on kit.
Joshua G. –
Peace of mind knowing the frame and fabricated deck have a great warranty. Cub Cadet stands by their product.
Joshua C. –
50 inches is the sweet spot. Wide enough to be fast, but small enough to fit through my larger gate.
Paul C. –
You can tell the 2×2 tubular frame is built to last. The fabricated deck is heavy-duty and doesn’t bend when hitting small branches.
Kenneth F. –
The side discharge chute spreads the clippings evenly so you don’t get those ugly windrows of dead grass.
Paul P. –
The AeroForce deck leaves a pristine finish without any clumping, even if the grass is slightly damp.
Ashley N. –
The ZT1 50 is an amazing machine, but getting it unbolted from the delivery crate took some serious effort.
Kenneth K. –
I’ve already convinced my neighbor to buy the exact same model. We both love our ZT1 50s.
Kenneth Z. –
The foot pedal and dial system for deck height is so much better than the old heavy levers.
Brian C. –
I bought the bagger attachment and the deck creates so much airflow that it picks up every single leaf.
Melissa L. –
I hesitated at the price initially, but after one season of use, it is worth every single penny.
Richard C. –
The sheer weight of the 50-inch fabricated deck naturally lays down a beautiful stripe pattern on my lawn.
Kenneth V. –
The mower is a beast, but the translucent fuel tank under the seat is hard to read in bright sunlight.
Emily G. –
I was worried about my sloped yard, but the wide rear tires provide excellent traction. Very stable zero turn.
Emily A. –
It’s a heavy machine. If your yard is soggy after a rain, wait a day or it might leave tire depressions.
Deborah D. –
Stepped up from a lawn tractor to this ZT1 50 and my mowing time is cut in half. The deck dial is incredibly easy to use.
Kenneth D. –
The 50-inch deck is the perfect size for my 2 acres. The Kawasaki engine is powerful and cuts through thick grass with ease.
Donna J. –
Performance is 5 stars, but it is a bit loud. You definitely need good ear protection while running at full throttle.
George J. –
I hit a hidden stump and braced for the worst. The blades took a nick but the deck and spindles were perfectly fine.
Linda V. –
Compared to other brands with a Kawasaki engine and fabricated deck, the Cub Cadet is the best deal.
Edward F. –
The low center of gravity makes it feel planted on the ground. I never feel like it’s going to tip.
Daniel Z. –
The LED headlights actually illuminate the path well enough to finish up mowing at dusk. Nice touch.
Christopher B. –
I live in the south and this thing chews through thick, tough Bahia grass without dropping RPMs.
Joseph K. –
It turns on a dime. Navigating around my trees and flower beds is so much faster now.
Barbara T. –
The mower itself is 5 stars, but the manual’s instructions for aligning the lap bars initially were a bit confusing.
John G. –
The massive 20-inch rear tires grip the turf without tearing it up when making tight turns.
Deborah W. –
The yellow and black tubular design is very sharp. It’s the best-looking mower in the neighborhood.
Sandra N. –
Used to take me 2.5 hours to mow, now I am done in just over an hour. Unbelievable efficiency.
Ashley A. –
It turns a weekend chore into something I actually look forward to doing. Absolutely fantastic mower.
