Product details
Description
The Cub Cadet Ultima ZTS1 42 is engineered for property owners who demand zero-turn agility without sacrificing safety on slopes. Its revolutionary Synchro-Steer™ technology controls all four wheels through a steering wheel interface, providing superior stability and precise handling—even on inclines up to 20 degrees—where traditional lap-bar zero turns struggle.
Powered by a smooth and quiet 679cc Cub Cadet engine, the ZTS1 42 drives a heavy-duty AeroForce™ fabricated steel deck that produces a cleaner, finer cut with fewer clumps. A reinforced tubular steel frame, corrosion-resistant e-coating, and ergonomic operator station ensure a long service life and a comfortable mowing experience. Backed by a 3-year domestic warranty, the ZTS1 42 is built for durability, performance, and safety across challenging terrain.
