Product Overview

The Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1 42 FAB Zero-Turn Riding Lawn Mower is built to deliver commercial-inspired durability, exceptional maneuverability, and professional-quality cutting performance. Designed for homeowners with medium to large properties, this mower combines a powerful 21.5 HP / 726cc Kawasaki® FR651V V-Twin engine with a rugged 42-inch AeroForce™ fabricated steel cutting deck to provide clean, even results in a wide variety of mowing conditions.

Its advanced dual Hydro-Gear® EZT 2200 hydrostatic transmissions provide smooth acceleration and responsive zero-turn steering, allowing you to mow around trees, flower beds, fences, and other obstacles with precision while significantly reducing mowing time. The fabricated 11-gauge steel deck is engineered for superior durability and delivers finer grass clippings with fewer clumps for a professional-looking finish.

Constructed on a 2 x 2-inch heavy-duty tubular steel frame with Cub Cadet’s corrosion-resistant e-coat protection, the ZT1 42 FAB is built for years of dependable performance. A comfortable 20-inch high-back adjustable seat, ergonomic lap-bar controls, and foot-operated deck lift make extended mowing sessions easier and more enjoyable.

Michael Anderson

Feels like quality equipment

Right out of the box, this mower felt like a quality piece of equipment. Everything feels solid and well put together. After using it for a while, the performance has been consistent and the cut has looked great every time.

James Bennett

A big step up from my old mower

I replaced an older mower that was becoming more trouble than it was worth, and I’m glad I made the switch. This one is easier to operate, cuts much more evenly, and feels considerably better built. So far, it’s been a really good upgrade.

Robert Mitchell

Makes mowing a lot easier

I’ve been really happy with this mower so far. It starts easily, feels solid, and does a great job keeping the lawn looking clean. The controls are simple and it’s comfortable to use, even when I have a lot of grass to cut.

Daniel Carter

Simple, reliable, and effective

This Honda has been exactly what I was looking for. It starts without any fuss and gives the lawn a nice, even cut. I appreciate how straightforward everything is. No unnecessary complications, just a mower that does what it’s supposed to do.

Matthew Harrison

Great Cut

Very happy with how clean and even the cut is. Starts easily and feels solid.

William Parker

Clean cut every time

Really impressed with how evenly this mower cuts. I’ve used it on both shorter and slightly taller grass and it handled everything without a problem. It also feels well built and much more substantial than some of the cheaper mowers I’ve owned.

I didn’t expect to actually enjoy mowing the lawn, but this mower changed that. It’s comfortable, easy to control, and handles the yard smoothly. After using it several times, I’m very happy with the purchase.
