Product Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What a machine Took deliver last week and have a 22 degree hill in the back yard. This machine cuts both sideways and up and down with out problem. Very impressed with quality of machine, comfort and ability to turn on a dime.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best of both worlds! The Ultima series is extremely well designed in general, but the synchro-steer combines the added stability of front wheel steering with the maneuverability of heavier duty “estate grade” (on S2 model) dual-hydro zero turn radius transmissions. Kohler 23hp 7000 PRO engine has been flawless. Amazing machine!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from ZTS2 50 Cub review [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Been looking for a zero turn for years now and our neighbors were kind enough to borrow us there ZFORCE Cub to finish our lawn while waiting for parts to our old mower. My wife feel in love instantly with the seat and the ride of a zero turn with a steering wheel. I immediately began searching and found our fit.. cut our mowing time from almost 2 hours to around 40 minutes. 8 inches more deck, 5 more hp, 1 extra mulch blade, and higher mow speeds. We love our Cub ZTS2 50!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Blew away all my expectations! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazing mower! I live on a hill with very steep slopes measuring 20-25 degrees. The ZTS250 handles the slopes like a champ! Still can't believe how well it handles them. Nothing else on the market currently that compares. If you have steep slopes that need mowing you won't regret this purchase. Thanks Aurora power equipment and Cub Cadet!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great on Hills Bought this for mowing at our second home in the North Carolina mountains. Mower works great on the hills and is very maneuverable. I have used the mower twice at this point mowing approximately 2 acres. One area of concern for me going forward is the fabricated deck. The grass in the mountains is never 100% dry even on the most sunny day. The way the deck is fabricated, there is basically a shelf underneath the deck. This formed metal is a ledge where clippings build up that clogged my deck after two clippings. A better design would be an exterior rub rail added around the outside of the deck. Just got through scraping out a 5 gallon bucket full of matted clippings. My yard is not a typical suburban yard, so this may not be a concern to others.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I enjoy mowing again [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have about 2 acres and half of that is a steep wooded hill. Steep being up to 20-22%. Previously impossible with a average tractor.this ZTS2 50 has huge traction and as long as you respect it and know yours and it’s limitations you can do just about anything. Superb hybrid design.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great mower, it does everything better [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this mower a couple of months ago. Our lawn is 1 1/2 acres of slopes dotted with trees. I was totally surprised to see how the ZTS2 50 conquered all the slopes, some up to 21+ degrees with ease. Exceeded all my expectations.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great mower. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've used it 4 times and it's as good as advertised. I have several hills in my yard and can mow across or up and down with no issues. I would have given 5 stars if the bagger was even usable.
