Love this mower
I bought this mower for the sole reason that it is advertised as able to mow slopes up to 20 degrees. We just purchased a new home and the yard was designed for billy goats. It is atrociously steep in places. Having used my zts50 twice now, I can say it does everything as advertised and is the most pleasurable mowing experience I’ve ever had in spite of the steep yard. It is very comfortable, stable, cuts like a dream and has plenty of power. This is my fourth cub cadet product but my first zero turn…I can’t believe how much better this is than a conventional style tractor. I’ll never go back. If your serious about cut quality, comfort and capability this is your mower. I wish it had been available years ago! Thanks cub cadet….job WELL done.

Outstanding Mower!
I bought this mower last week and have not been disappointed. Simple to use, and extremely quick when mowing a larger yard. Best mower that I have ever owned!

Impeccable Quality
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This mower is top quality and by far the best mower I have ever owned. This is my first zero turn because I never considered a lap bar zero turn. I had a 54 inch light garden tractor and it took 1 1/2 hours to mow my 1.5 acres. Now it takes me just a little over 1 hour with this mower which is 4 inches smaller.

Great mower. How is there not an hour meter??!!?
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just bought this, absolutely love it. Easy to use, convenient. But how there is not an hour meter on an almost $5000 machine is beyond me. Only reason I didn’t give 5 stars.

ZTS1 50
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great mower. I was going to purchase a standard lap bar zero turn but I figured even my woman could drive this steering wheel. Unfortunately she hung it up on a tree trunk between the deck and the back wheel within 5 mins. Not the mowers fault. She needs more training I guess.
