PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1 42 is a compact residential zero-turn mower designed for American homeowners who want trusted Kawasaki power, responsive maneuverability, and efficient weekly mowing. Its 42-inch footprint makes it especially practical for yards with gates, trees, landscape beds, borders, and tighter turning areas.
A 21.5 HP Kawasaki FR651V twin-cylinder engine works with dual Hydro-Gear EZT 2200 hydrostatic drives to provide smooth acceleration, precise directional control, and speeds up to 7 MPH. The 42-inch AeroForce deck delivers productive coverage while remaining easier to store and maneuver than wider residential models.
A heavy tubular-steel frame, 15 cutting-height positions, high-back seat, LED headlights, hour meter, cup holder, and rear tow hitch create a capable ownership experience for homeowners upgrading from a conventional lawn tractor.
