Love this mower
The Cub Cadet ZT1 54 is a great lawnmower; so easy to use both my husband, and myself, can use it. The control levers adjust easily for any size driver; the control panel is slightly elevated and slanted toward driver for easy access; and the mower deck raises easily with the foot pedal and lowers back to same cutting position. To lock the blade in any position, raise with foot pedal, put the dial in desired position, and you're through. This mower easily mows our bumpy, hilly, tree covered three acre yard in a very short time. Cub Cadet has scored a home run with this machine. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Awesome lawnmower!
I took delivery of my Cub Cadet several weeks ago at Peach Outdoors in Clanton, AL. I had never driven a zero turn mower but handling is a breeze. The 54" cutting deck makes short work of my three acres, even spots where the grass had grown in thick clumps. It never bogged down, and the headlights mean I can cut even when it gets a bit darker in the evenings when its cooler. This is an extremely well built mower and extra durable on my hilly, uneven yard! Its very steady and safe. I am in love with this mower! Not only is it a workhorse but FUN to drive! Makes cutting grass a true pleasure! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

New design
My first day on my machine and I've had 2 others before this cub cadet has made all the upgrades I used to complain about then some the frame and front spindles have been beefed up as well as the fabricated steel deck , the seat is great they added deck access from the top of the deck and headlights couple that with a terrific Kohler motor and you have the best bang for your buck kind of mower. Congratulations cub cadet you have outdone yourselves with this machine I purchased this over a gutless bad boy lawnmower that is made in Arkansas where I live.

Awesome upgrade from a regular lawn mower!
Before this mower I had a John deer. This is my first zero turn and there was a bit of a learning curve but I can tell you it's one awesome machine! It cuts your time on mowing in half! We have trees that line our driveway that we had to push mow but not anymore this thing zips right around them. It's much more fun to drive too cub cadet you rock! This thing has a lot of pros but I can't think of any cons, I love it and I know you will too! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Cant get much better than this!!
I have had this a month so far. The overall design is a compliment to actually doing a little research into what people/ businesses actually wanted. Everything is easily accessable. This machine won out for me against a list of mowers to long to even put on here. You really need to read and watch all the reviews and videos out side of here, I mean of actualy people that bought this machine. You can see what they say. Cub Cadet has found a new owner here and if they stay with this building quality, I just don't see myself going anywhere else.

Great Upgrade!
I bought this mower to replace an older Cub Cadet 42” ZTR with a 17 HP engine and the transition was seamless. Crawling under my old mower to pop the belt back on is a thing of the past with the access panel! The panel also makes it easy to keep the top of the deck clean of grass and debris. Pre-installed lights for if the sun goes down a little too fast for you to finish your yard. The square frame makes this mower solid! Smooth acceleration and flawless cuts with the ability to mow in reverse as well! Amazing mower! Felt like Christmas opening my crate!

Love it
It took me about 10 to 15 minutes to get used to using it but after that I was ready to go. This cuts really good. And you can control the speed you want to go. If you have a lot of grass like I do the I would definitely recommend getting this. I am honestly impressed of the quality of the mower. I used to cut my grass with a push mower and it took me about 2 days to get it all done but now it takes me about 30 minutes to an hour to get it done [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Fast Fun Machine
Purchased from an independent Cub Cadet dealer (Madson's Service in St. Nazianz, WI) who was a pleasure to deal with and very knowledgeable. Machine has already exceeded my expectations after the 2nd full mowing. Fast, maneuverable, doesn't tear up the turf even with agressive turns, nimble around trees and other landscaping features. Low profile makes it feel very stable. Styling turns many heads of those driving by. Reliable Kohler engine delivers excellent, smooth power. Can't go wrong. Using to cut just over 3 acres of relatively flat hobby-farm property with 30+ trees, two barns, flower beds, etc. Has cut my mowing time in half from my JD 318 tractor I used previously.
