~Found My Favorite Zero-Turn~
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After moving to a 6 acre Tennessee ranch I asked my neighbor what he had for a tractor. He answered proudly I bought a Cub Cadet 10 years ago,But when that dies I have my eyes on the ZTX.........2 weeks later I am the proud owner of a Cub Cadet ZT2 50" The thing cuts my 6 acres quickly and it can be a bumpy ride so I put a 'trac-seat' suspension kit under the factory seat.I am very happy with this Brand & Plan to be a Forever Customer.

Extremely Happy With My Purchase
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first Zero-Turn mower and I couldn't be happier. I have had a number of the traditional lawn tractors over the years and I cannot believe I've waited so long to go zero-turn. I've cut my mowing time in half or less. The build of the ZT2 is second to none. It's actually a joy to use. (can't say that about any other mower I've used in the past.) There is a little bit of a learning curve but that went to the wayside after about an hour of use. It was worth the upgrade from the ZT1 to the ZT2 in my eyes. Either way, without a doubt this unit will provide years of trouble-free service.

Time Saver
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased a ZT2 50 after a neighbor let me try his. Went to local dealer who delivered next day, this being in early July 2022. I’m normally a “prove it” person, as in I’ll tell what I think after several months of use, in this case I’m THRILLED with this product. It replaced a 35 year old Cub Cadet lawn tractor, which due to age allowed me to mow but would take over 3 hours, the ZT2 cut that time by over half. It’s been able to handle the uneven terrain and several slopes with no problems. Initial maintenance and winter prep were easy. My only gripe is changing oil filter, which can leave a mess, on the engine deck. Hey Cub Cadet engineers make an accessory allowing all oil from oil filter to drain away from frame and engine housing.

Excellent machine
I bought the ZT2 50 about 6 weeks ago. It cuts beautifully and handles extremely well even on a hill. My back yard is a walkout and a bit hilly. This machine has a wider rear tire and a very nice center of gravity. It has no problem with the hill. It’s fast and smooth to operate. I also bought the collection system. It works great as well, picks up leaves grass no problem. Better than I expected. I owned a lawn service company for 15 years and had many commercial zero turn mowers. This machine is very nice. I’m very happy I went with the Cub Cadet over the John Deere especially the ZT2 50. I highly recommend this machine.

ZT2 zero turn
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Well I pulled the trigger on a zero turn mower after years of buying tractors and I asked myself why did I wait so long . I absolutely love the ZT2 built like a tank and the 23hp Kawasaki motor wow I love the whole package. I looked at others but the Cub was the one believe me take a look you may find that it’s for you too.

Fantastic piece of machinery. Has a smaller Cub before and this one is a beast. Took a little while to get accustom to the heavier mower. It can get away from you if you're not careful. Would prefer front tires with treads instead of slick ones, but once I got used to it, I wouldn't trade it for anything. P.S. this is coming from the man of the house.

Love it
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had a ZT2 50 for a year now it is the best mower out there for the price range, It replaced my Toro Zero turn and this machine out performs it, the only complaint that I have is the hard ride Cub Cadet needs to change the seat suspension

Underpowered and needs set up
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Unit feels a little underpowered. Bogs down considerably in thick grass even when it isn’t that long. Didn’t come properly aligned, have to make adjustments to throttles to make pushing both handles all the way forward and go straight. Front wheels needed grease out of the crate as well. Didn’t expect to have to do so much to a brand new unit.
