What is the difference between Cub Cadet ZT1 and ZT2? ›

The main differences between these two machines are the tires (20x10" on the ZT1 vs 20x12" on the ZT2) and the transmissions (EZT2200 on the ZT1 and ZT2800 on the ZT2).

Is the Toro zero-turn better than the Cub Cadet zero-turn? ›

Back in 2023, I would have suggested the Cub Cadet is the superior mower, given the comfort levels and my experience. But the new upgrades to the Toro TimeCutter have made it a supremely comfortable ride and heavier duty than the Cub Cadet ZT1.

What is the warranty on the Cub Cadet ZT1 54p? ›

The frame on all ZT1 and ZT2 products are covered for "Residential Use" by a seven year Limited Lifetime Warranty.

What is the number one zero-turn mower? ›

We've researched and compared the best zero-turn lawn mowers for homeowners with big properties, including the best for hills and the best electric. With its impressive power and highly-rated performance, the Cub Cadet ZT1 50 Ultima Series ZT Riding Mower tops our list as the best overall choice.

Who makes the very best zero-turn mower? ›

Residential zero-turn mowers, like our best overall pick, the Ryobi Battery Electric Cordless Zero Turn Riding Mower, often have smaller, 42-inch cutting decks, making them an ideal choice for yards less than 3 acres in size.

Is Husqvarna better than Cub Cadet? ›

“In my past experiences with similar mowers, like the Cub Cadet XT1 Enduro Series LT, the Husqvarna TS 242XD holds its ground in power and usability while improving significantly in terms of cutting precision and overall control.” It has mostly positive reviews among customers, as well.

How many hours will a Cub Cadet last? ›

The exception may be some Cub Cadet, Husqvarna and John Deere lawn tractors intended for commercial use, which are designed to go for 400-500 hours. Many of these higher-end mowers have hour meters that track their usage. If you're considering buying a used machine, look for these warning signs.

Are Cub Cadet engines reliable? ›

Engines are extensively tested for long term durability, and are designed to start easily and perform strongly season after season. Visit your nearest Cub Cadet dealer, and test drive today.

Who bought out Cub Cadet mowers? ›

After acquiring 20 percent in MTD in 2019, Stanley Black & Decker will acquire the remaining 80 percent of the company that owns turf maintenance brands such as Cub Cadet. The deal, which is contingent upon regulatory review, is for a reported $1.6 billion in cash and is expected to close before the end of the year.

Is Kubota or Cub Cadet better? ›

If you have a soft yard, the Cub is the lighter choice. If you need a rugged machine that can quickly cut your lawn and even hug a hill when the circ*mstances call for it, the Kubota is your winner.
