Cub zt50
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great mower over all so far but haven’t had it very long. I’ve had the mower for about 2 months so far. Has plenty of power east to operate. So far only complaint I have is the blades aren’t very good or something. It seems to leave a lot of long pieces behind. But over all in this short time it had been good.

This mower needs help
I have always heard great things about Cub Cadet, so I looked into buying a zero turn when my riding mower quit on me. This mower doesn't cut evenly, I have to go over my lawn 3 or 4 times to get the cut that I want. It has no hour meter or fuel gauge. Pretty disappointed in this mower and wished i would have bought something else.

So far so good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 2 mows in and loving it. Dont let the 3.5 gallon tank scare you it goes a good ways! Has no issue cutting through the thick stuff without bogging down or dying. Dont think theres a better bang for your back on residential mowers i researched for hours and went with this

CabCadet zero turn is well build lawnmower.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ZT1 zero turn lawnmower is well build good looking and easy to operate. Only one thing I wish they included hour meter and blade was attachment. People would love that lawnmower and would be a lot more happy. I don’t know what CabCadet is thinking.

Zt150 tires/ tracks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just recently bought my zero turn zt150 about 35 days ago. I was trying to find out if there is a track conversion kit for them or a airless tire. I have had 4 flat tires since I bought my zero turn. It's really frustrating.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pro’s - Mower works great. I have used it 3 times to mow about 1 acre.
Con’s - Grass does gather up in engine compartment making and air in take.

ZT1 50 overall impressions
I have used the ZT1 50 twice and already I know this mower is going to significantly outperform the John Deere 42" I had previously. The fabrication of the deck alone is far superior to my previous mower as well as the 2" tube construction of the body. The triple mowing blades mulch leaves and grass amazingly well and the reliability of the Kawasaki motor gives me peace of mind. This mower is built like at tank!! It is fun to drive and gets the job done quick!!

Mower upgrade
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I went from 42 inch riding motor to this 50 inch zero turn... my mow time was about 2 to 2.5 hours, it is now just a little more than an gour... learning the co tools was easier than I thought.. also my reaso. For purchasing a cub cadet was that any and all parts are locally available... I chose the 50 inch cut because the machine has a higher hp engine that the 42 inch...

Works Great!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this machine a few weeks ago. Mows great! Would have given it 5 stars but it not coming with the fenders as a part of the deal is disappointing. My suggestion is that this option becomes standard on the mower.

Can't Go Wrong With The ZT1!!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First time having a big yard that required me upgrading from a push mower. After doing research and getting to test several different makes and models... I ended up buying the ZT1 50. No regrets!!! Super easy to maneuver and maintain. The Kawasaki motors runs flawlessly!!! I added the mulching kit as recommended by my neighbors. It leaves my yard looking amazing!!!

Great mower
Nice mower. I have about 15 hrs on it now. Saves a lot if time compared to my old lawn tractor. Only things i would recommend are simple things. Keep a close eye on the oil level the first couple times you use this mower. The engine will use some oil during its break in period. Also, grease the front wheel bearings before first use. Mine started squeaking after the first hour of use.

Best purchase yet!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Strong and powerful mower. Smooth even cut every time. Strong kawasaki engine, easy to maneuver controls. Only negative thing is a minor thing, missing a bolt on the bar that is over the engine behind the seat and one was also loose. Im sure it got looked over while being assembled at the dealer. But no big deal. Love the mower so far.

Love mowing grass now!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve mowed twice with my ZTR 50”. This is my first ZTR and I absolutely love it. My Cub Cadet arrived by delivery truck and I had to attach the battery, attach the seat and lift and secure the roll bar. After putting in gas it started right up and started mowing. There was a small learning curve on steering but it didn’t take long.

Solid
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great little mower from home use, but pricey for the feature set. I'm banking on its longevity.
Lots of pros: solid construction, protective deck guide wheels, headlights
Some cons: Lots of exposed wiring and parts (definitely needs to be stored indoors), handle bars do not align well when trying to straighten out wheels.
