Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1-42 22HP 42" Zero-Turn Mower

Mow like a pro with the Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1-42—a zero-turn mower engineered for speed, precision, and rider comfort. Powered by a 22 HP Kohler 7000 Series V-Twin engine, this machine is built to conquer up to 2 acres of lawn with ease.

The 42-inch steel cutting deck features a dual-blade, deep-dome design for maximum airflow and a cleaner, more even cut. It’s rust-resistant and built tough for years of high-performance mowing. With dual hydrostatic transmissions and top speeds of up to 7 MPH, you’ll blaze through mowing jobs faster and with better results than ever before.

Comfort comes standard. The fully adjustable 20-inch high-back seat features advanced polymer suspension for a smooth ride, while ergonomic lap bars and soft hand grips give you full control without fatigue. Pivoting 11-inch front wheels and turf-safe 20-inch rear tires make maneuvering tight spaces a breeze—without tearing up your grass.

LED headlights keep you going at dusk, and the open frame design with a removable floor pan makes maintenance a total non-issue. With a 3.5-gallon fuel tank, you’ll stay in the zone longer between refuels.

The ZT1-42 is backed by a 3-year unlimited-hour warranty and Cub Cadet’s nationwide dealer network. Whether you’re mowing straight paths or navigating obstacles and hills, this mower is ready to make lawn care faster, easier, and a hell of a lot more fun.
