The Cub Cadet Ultima Series ZTS1 46 zero-turn mower offers 4-wheel control and unrivaled stability for straight-line mowing on hillsides and slopes up to 20°. It’s engineered to be every bit as strong as its Ultima Series counterparts and is ideal for hills and obstacles on yards up to 2 acres.

Power and performance: A 22 HP/725cc Kohler 7000 Series V-twin OHV engine delivers high-performance power and exceptionally smooth, quiet operation for a consistent cut. Dual hydrostatic transmissions provide quick, effortless ground speeds of 7 MPH forward and 3.5 MPH in reverse, leaving your lawn with a professional-quality finish. An electronic fingertip blade engagement PTO keeps deck operation smooth.

A signature cut: The 46 in. AeroForce fabricated deck delivers fewer clumps and stragglers, finer clippings, and a more even cut. A foot-operated deck lift and dial control knob let you adjust the cutting height from 1 in. to 4.5 in. for a precise, even result. The 13 in. front and 20 in. rear turf master tires minimize turfing and add traction and stability on hills.

Built to last: A continuous, square 2 in. x 2 in. tubular steel frame holds up against the toughest obstacles. The fully e-coated lower frame and triple guard corrosion defense system apply automotive-grade corrosion resistance to protect against wear and tear. A durable, compact AGM battery lasts longer and needs less maintenance than a traditional lead acid wet battery, with improved starting performance season after season.

Comfort and convenience: Ride in elite comfort with an automotive-inspired, fully adjustable 20 in. high-back seat and an advanced polymer seat suspension. A soft touch steering wheel and tilting steering column give you simple steering and greater handling on hills and uneven terrain. A vibration-dampening rubber floor mat provides sure footing and ample leg room, and the conveniently located control panel boosts productivity. Dual-LED headlights give you ultimate vision in low light, and a tow hitch comes standard. The large 3.5 gal. fuel tank cuts down on refueling stops.

Peace of mind: A 3-year/unlimited-hour warranty plus a limited lifetime warranty on the frame and deck are backed by a nationwide network of Cub Cadet dealers for expert service and support. The mower arrives fully crated and requires some assembly. For service and repair questions, call Cub Cadet customer service or see the service and repair document.
