Cub Cadet Ultima ZTS1 46 Zero-Turn Riding Lawn Mower with Synchro-Steer™

The Cub Cadet Ultima ZTS1 46 Zero-Turn Riding Lawn Mower combines the speed and maneuverability of a zero-turn mower with the added confidence of Synchro-Steer™ 4-wheel steering technology. Designed for homeowners with challenging terrain, this mower delivers outstanding stability on hills and slopes up to 20 degrees, while providing the precision and productivity expected from a premium zero-turn mower.

Powered by a 22 HP Kohler 7000 Series V-Twin engine with 747cc displacement, the ZTS1 46 delivers smooth, reliable performance for mowing medium to large properties. Its 46-inch AeroForce™ fabricated cutting deck, built from heavy-duty 11-gauge steel, provides excellent airflow for a cleaner cut, finer clippings, and fewer grass clumps. The deck offers 15 cutting height positions ranging from 1 to 4.5 inches for precise lawn care.

The mower features dual Hydro-Gear EZT hydrostatic transmissions, allowing smooth acceleration and true zero-turn maneuverability with speeds up to 7 MPH forward and 3.5 MPH reverse. A durable 2″ × 2″ tubular steel frame, electric PTO, foot-operated deck lift, dual LED headlights, and rear hitch ensure dependable performance and versatility throughout the mowing season.

Operator comfort is enhanced with a 20-inch high-back adjustable seat, ergonomic steering wheel, rubber floor mat, adjustable steering column, and intuitive controls. The steering-wheel design makes the ZTS1 46 especially comfortable for users who prefer traditional steering over lap bars while still enjoying zero-turn efficiency.
