Q: Does it have a gas gushed?

4 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Howdy neighbor! Yes, the Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1-60 (Model 17AREAC5A10) features a visual gas gauge built directly into the side of its 3.5-gallon fuel tank. Rather than an electronic gauge on the dashboard, it utilizes a clear vertical sight window integrated into the molded plastic tank, allowing you to easily look down by your left side while sitting in the operator's seat to check your exact fuel level.

Honeymoon is Over, But Still in Love

5 months ago
I've had my mower for over a year now and continue to be very happy with it. I had a few experiences with the mower leaving a band of uncut grass in the middle of a run. Turned out to be an issue with the center blade being unexpectedly dull. The other two blades were fine so I can only think this was an operator thing and not a quality thing. The only complaint- more like a whine- I have is the oil system. I appreciate the ease of the hose to empty it, but would appreciate a side window where I could visually see as I add the oil instead of waiting for it to settle and using the dip stick. Unlike a car, I've had relatively inconsistent oil amounts that require constant checking to avoid overfilling. Like I said, it's a "whine", but it's the only complaint I can think of. The Kawasaki motor is an incredible piece of machinery too.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Didn't even get a chance to buy it... Twice

5 months ago
Showed up to the store and was in the middle of purchasing it when the salesperson told me the deck was locked up for some reason. He said they didn't have another of that model and told me that another store had it in stock. Drove another 45 minutes to pick it up and it had the same issue. As soon as you engaged the PTO the blades would lock up and the belt would start to burn. They said is was likely from sitting out all winter. But my only thought is that every spring when I go to make the first cut, the spindles are going to be frozen. This is clearly an engineering design error. The only reason I give it two stars is because the rest of the machine seemed solid, just not the most critical component.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Great comfort and power for most any grass

a year ago
This mower is surpassed my expectations on most everything I've put it up against so far. I haven't found any grass tall or thick enough to bog the motor down even at high speeds ,the cut is smooth as any mower I have been on which surprised me with it being a 60 inch mower.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Good machine strong engine

a year ago
Good power tons of  torque . Seat is very comfortable and mowing deck and engine are really smoth. I’m a husqvarna  guy but read the reviews and went cub cadet and agin it’s a great machine but a few things happened  1. It drove in a circle took a closer look and the right tire was low I filled it and it went flat agin do check before you leave.  2. Right hand control doesn’t return to zero so if you don’t put it exactly in the right position you agin go in a circle and is   Some what a pain to drive and might be a transaxle issue.  3. Left hand control damper just stopped working altogether but it returns to zero perfectly. 4. Not particularly happy about this many issues day 1 after spending  over 5k  5. Warranty shop is really far away I’m going to have to rent a trailer and it’s going to another expense.  I really wish I had more better things to say than power and a decent seat But that’s all it has going for it

I bought this mower because I bought a 12 acre farm and half is grass. As soon as I got this mower at my house, I mowed the lawn. It was about 4 inches high that machine eat through the grass like pac man. I loved it. It's easy to use. And the tight turns make it awesome to go around trees. Well worth the money
