Best Riding Lawn Mowers

With the Ultima line, Cub Cadet made high-quality zero turns for every user. The 54" Ultima ZT1 is perfect for homeowners who want to step up to something a little extra from an entry-level mower. For this mid-grade model, Cub kept some of the most practical features from its awesome entry-level mowers. These include all sorts of features, from the dual Hydro-Gear transmission (which our customers say provides plenty of traction, even on wet grass) to the 3-position adjustable lap bars. But then Cub upgraded other features, and those upgrades are worth it! Let's start with the deck. With a large 54" deck, you'll cover more ground in less time. And with a deck that's made from welded metal plates, you'll get added durability. Also, with Cub Cadet's patented AeroFlow deck design, you'll bag your clippings more efficiently and get a more even cut. Pair it with a robust 24 HP V-Twin engine from the engine masters like Kohler, and you'll be zooming across your lawn in no time, leaving a clean cut in your wake! Want a high performance mower but don't want to spend a lot more money for it? You can't go wrong with a 54" Ultima ZT1 54.
