Cub Cadet Ultima Z2 42S 42″ Zero-Turn Riding Lawn Mower with 21.5 HP Kawasaki Engine & Steering Wheel Control

The Cub Cadet Ultima Z2 42S Zero-Turn Riding Lawn Mower combines the speed of a zero-turn mower with the familiar control of a steering wheel, making it an excellent choice for homeowners who want professional mowing performance with added confidence on hills and uneven terrain. Powered by a 21.5 HP Kawasaki® FR Series V-Twin engine, this mower delivers reliable power and smooth operation for properties up to 4 acres.

Unlike traditional lap-bar zero-turn mowers, the Synchro-Steer® steering wheel system provides true four-wheel steering while maintaining zero-turn capability. This patented technology offers enhanced stability on slopes up to 20 degrees, improved traction, and exceptional maneuverability around trees, flower beds, and landscape features.

The heavy-duty 42-inch AeroForce™ fabricated steel deck is engineered to produce a clean, even cut with excellent mulching performance and fewer clumps. Dual hydrostatic transmissions provide smooth acceleration and precise control while maintaining the mower’s true zero-turn capability.

Built on a rugged 2″ × 2″ tubular steel frame, the Ultima Z2 42S includes premium comfort features such as a high-back adjustable seat, LED headlights, cup holder, cruise control, hour meter, and a built-in hitch. The fabricated deck, Kawasaki engine, and durable frame make this mower a dependable long-term investment for demanding residential mowing.
