Cub Cadet Z Force SX 48

For property owners who need the precision of a zero-turn mower but refuse to compromise on stability and control, the Cub Cadet Z-FORCE SX 48 sets a new benchmark. Designed to outperform traditional lap-bar zero-turns on sloping or uneven terrain, this mower features Cub Cadet’s exclusive Synchro Steer™ technology—delivering true four-wheel steering and unmatched confidence when working on inclines up to 20 degrees.

Beneath the seat is a powerful 24HP Kawasaki FR Series V-Twin engine, engineered for smooth output, long-term durability, and the torque needed to tackle tough grass. The 48" fabricated steel deck incorporates industry-leading reinforcement and a triple-blade system to produce a consistent, professional-grade finish across diverse grass types and conditions.

With productivity in mind, the Z-FORCE SX 48 offers speeds up to 13 km/h and dual fuel tanks totalling 21.2L, allowing operators to cover more ground with fewer stops. A 15-position cutting height system, premium adjustable high-back seat, and full hydrostatic transmission ensure comfort and control throughout longer sessions.

For acreage owners dealing with slopes, mixed terrain, and large open areas, the Z-FORCE SX 48 delivers the perfect balance of performance, safety, and cutting precision—making it one of the most capable zero-turns in its class.
