Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1 42 Zero-Turn Mower

The Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1 42 is a compact and maneuverable zero-turn mower designed for homeowners who want faster mowing, precise control, and a comfortable ride.

Powered by a 21.5 HP Kawasaki FR651V 726cc V-twin engine, the ZT1 42 delivers dependable power for residential mowing. Dual Hydro-Gear EZT 2200 hydrostatic transmissions provide smooth operation with a top forward speed of 7 mph.

The 42-inch stamped steel cutting deck is built from 13-gauge steel and uses a two-blade cutting system. Cutting height adjusts from 1 to 4.5 inches through 15 deck positions, making it easy to match mowing height to lawn conditions.

A heavy-duty 2-inch x 2-inch tubular steel frame adds durability, while lap-bar steering provides true zero-turn maneuverability around landscaping, trees, and other obstacles. The 20-inch high-back seat, foot-operated deck lift, electric PTO engagement, and open-frame design help make the ZT1 comfortable and convenient to operate.

With a 42-inch cutting width and maximum forward speed of 7 mph, theoretical mowing capacity is approximately 3.0 acres per hour before allowing for turns, overlap, obstacles, and normal mowing conditions.
