Cub Cadet hour meter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Meter working well so far. Wish it had a blank which would've made installation easier or mower came with it. Wish mower worked as well. Deck vibration's terrible. My RZT54 doesn't vibrate and it's 11 years old. I'm not happy!!! It'll need repair which means borrowing a trailer, taking it there, waiting for it to be fixed then borrowing trailer again to pick it up. Brand new mower wow! I should've kept the RZT going. It still is actually. Bad when an old mower runs better than a new one!!! Leaves more scrap behind then old one. Don't like the lights functioning all the time. Miss the star pattern on the old one. Makes changing blades easier. It's definitely faster and manuevers better. Wish I hadn't purchased!!!

Works great.Why not included?
The hour meter is a critical component. How else would I know when to service? I would gladly pay more for the mower with the hour meter included. I know you all felt it was more important to reduce the cost of manufacturing, but at what cost to your customers? You should reconsider and start including the hour meter in the model.

Easy to install and had a nice surprise feature
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love that it shows you the battery charge before you start the mower but it makes me really mad that it wasn't installed from the factory and I had to buy it separately. I would give it less stars for that but it would not be fair to the actual product.

Buying an hour meter for a $4000.00 ZTI. Why?????
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can’t believe there is no hour meter on the zts-1. I didn’t even look for one when I bought it because I just assumed that a machine at this price would have it. My other Ariens 60 " had one on it.. Great to keep track of usage time..

Meter Kit Sticker Not For Steering Wheel Ultima
The hour meter works but the sticker is not compatible with the Ultima steering wheel version of the mower I called CubCadet and they have no alternatives available so that means when you cut out the black to put in the new meter there’s no way to cover it up

Hour Meter
I looked hard f9or the right mower at a good price and I thought I found it. To keep accurate maintenance you need the hour meter now I will have no idea exactly how long it’s ran?? Why would you not put this on a $4000 mower from the factory.

Good review
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Product is a direct fit, almost like it should have came with one. If the warranty is based off maintenance, then why does this not come with it. This is a joke and a money grab.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Plug and play. Should have came with the mower. Not sure why they wouldn’t include if hours are needed to maintain the mower.

Should be Included or Sent for Free
Should come installed on the ZT1. Get your act together, Cub Cadet. As far as the meter itself, I’ve used the mower about an hour. It’s easy to install and it works fine.

Returning to store
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Selling a zero turn mower without an hour meter is like selling a car without an odometer, shame on you club cadet!

Brand new mower with no hour meter
How can you sell a mower that needs routine maintenance without an hour meter? It's a nice mower but if it dies because of a late oil change who is really to blame?

Hour meter.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice item, but should be part of your original purchase. Shouldn't be an add on.

It is absolutely ridiculous that my $4500 mower didn't come with this $50 part that you left a spot and harness for.

My Cub Cadet ZT1 2022 model
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like how easy the meter was to install. As everyone else who writes a review, I think that the meter should come as standard equipment, especially since the warranty depends on hours of operation. Make no mistake, I love my Cub Cadet and am very excited about owning one, but not including the meter? Come on friends, was that a bean counter's decision?

Cub Cadet Hour Meter Kit
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This item should be standard equipment on a 3600 dollar mower. It is necessary for the conscientious owner to keep track of maintenance intervals. The item arrived in a lightly padded envelope and it was loose from the box within. It was easy to install and the wiring plug for it was already present. Shame on Cub for not including it on their high end mowers.

Hour-Meter /not included with the ZT1 mowers
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the new hour-meter in good condition and it took about 5 minutes to install it. The wires are already in the proper location and just plug in, snap the meter into the space already in the steel panel. Put the new(included) stick-on label over the stock one and you are ready to mow. Now I can moniter the useage to do maintenance at the right time.

Hour Meter
I purchased 2023 zt1 50 mower and am very disappointed that there is not a hour meter attached. I previously owned 2006 zero turn Cub Cadet mower and low and behold it had an hour meter on it. Why have you cut corners and eliminated this feature when you have to service at a certain hour of use? Please advise that I can expect one from Cub Cadet at no charge. Thank you and waiting on your respond.

ZT1 Hour Meter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ZT1 Hour Meter was an easy addition, and just a plug in as the wiring and opening were already there. My only complaint is that the ZT! with the Kawaski engine came with the hour meter and mine with the Kohler engine did not. You would think that when all of the maintenance intervals are in hours of use it would be a standard feature.

Hour Meter Great - Should be included with mower
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased a ZT1 54P mower expecting that the hour meter would be included since that's the measurement used in doing regular maintenance. While the mower and hour meter are great, we would have expected this to be a part of the unit in the first place. Disappointed that Cub Cadet doesn't include this with the mower.

Very easy.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The hour meter was easy to install. The plug used to connect it is already set up by the factory. It's just a matter of inserting the meter in the pre-drilled slot, applying the new sticker, reinstall the key switch and the pull knob, then plug the wire to the new meter. It's a process that takes maybe 10 minutes.

Basic maintenance life cycle device NOT standard
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very mad that this device it was not part of the product originally. Considering the machine is significantly priced, but does not have a basic maintenance life cycle tracking device. Very cheap business strategy to get you to spend more afterwards. They would recommend to change oil but no way to track usage.

As described, easy to install, good directions.
Easy to install. Good directions. Only complaint is that they didn't install it at the factory... I find the app to be a bit of a pain so I'd rather have an hours meter.
Make sure you install it with the plug outlet shifted to the INSIDE (toward the mower body) so that the hours do not read upside down. I found a good YouTube video that helped out.

hour meter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Why not charge some more money and install the hour meter during manufacture prior to selling it? Same goes with the wash out spout that's not on the mower either. I like my ZT1 mower but not including these essential items makes me think twice about buying another club cadet product.

A Must-Have for Any Ultima Mower Owner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently purchased the Ultima Hour Meter Kit for my Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1 50 zero-turn mower, and I am so glad I did. This kit is a must-have for any Ultima mower owner who wants to keep their mower running in top condition.
The hour meter is easy to install and it tracks the run time of your mower accurately. This information is essential for knowing when to change the oil, spark plugs, and other maintenance items. The hour meter also helps you to track the overall wear and tear on your mower, so you can catch any potential problems early on.
I am very happy with the quality of the hour meter. It is made of durable materials and it is well-made. The display is easy to read.
Overall, I highly recommend the Ultima Hour Meter Kit to any Ultima mower owner. It is a great way to keep your mower running in top condition and it is a valuable tool for tracking the overall wear and tear on your mower

Hourmeter
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not too much to say about an hour meter, but it works as it should, and should last a long time. I gave it only four stars, only because it should be standard on all mowers. It was easy to install, and comes with a new decal that covers the area around the key, And PTO. Looks factory.
