We had a great time!

Great video as always, I bought a Cub with a steering wheel and 60 inch deck several months ago and I absolutely love it. I also have a BX23S with the 60 inch deck, I have lots of hill banks on my 5 + acres of mowing and there is no comparison, the Cub out preforms and I also cut my mowing time by 50 minutes.

Yeah, this test really opened my eyes!

Yup, you have a great mower. We've owned our Z Force S Commercial for 12 years & it's by far the best mower we've ever owned. One thing I've never done is throw fresh mowed grass out onto a traveled roadway & it ticks me off every time I see someone else do it. You've got a great mower that handles the heavy stuff like a champ. Throw the first two passes into the road ditch or back onto your lawn.

And the best transmissions you can buy! I have the Pro z 560 I call it the Billy Goat

Good video. I've felt like one of those crazy corner preachers screaming at people about how great these are for years! Here in Northern KY we have crazy hillsides in most peoples yards. Even the little residential models are much better for hillsides than most standard lawn tractors or zero turns. We sell the fire out of them! I have a PRO Z 560S at home that does killer hills.

@PeeksPeakHobbyHomestead

22 күн бұрын

Right on! The Pro Z 560 is probably what I need!

I drive a pro z 972 with dual rear wheels for at least 7 hours a day. I can honestly say it's the best mower I've ever used. The issues we have with ours is front wheel bearings, throttle cable breaks and some components being cast aluminum. Ours are older so if they've fixed these issues then I'd say that I would recommend this mower for sure. I've taken ours places that I didn't feel comfortable taking our ventrac. It's truly a great design! Great video, and get that grass out of the road!

That’s a scary ass slope. Hahahahaha

As I stated on Brocks channel I don't see this machine holding up well in Central Florida's sandy soil. The gears ect under the foot deck is to open for the sand to get in and eat up the moving parts other than that it probably will hold up for the people that have great grass.

I live in central Arkansas, and my family's yard is a bowl. Part of it, we can't touch until late July or August because of the fact it holds water almost that entire time. We have a small Kubota zero turn, a Kubota B7500, and a Kubota L3200. We have both a belly mower and rear mower for the B7500, but we have the belly mower off of it currently. We had to put a piece of railroad track on the front to provide counterweight for the rear mower, but that's no biggie. We have a bush hog on the L3200, and a front loader with just a bucket attachment. We have a tiller for the L3200, but we haven't used it in a while. We NEED the Cub Cadet with the steering wheel for our pond bank, as well as the rest of the yard. It'll be a game changer.

I would never do a steering wheel mower over an acre, huge shoulder issue, and rear discharge. I’m on 10 acres, I’ve got a hustler 72” rear discharge, best machine ever, bare bones, a beast, 3 hr job is like laying on a beach

I have the residential model and I absolutely love it. Nothing you say is false.

I have always been curious about those mowers. Do they go as fast as comparable zero turn with the same size deck? I have a 60" Exmark and to me that ditch doesn't look like a big deal on camera but maybe it's worse in person. I have a big "mound system/septic system" and have no problem mowing it. It's about 5 feet tall and pretty steep and have never had an issue mowing it so I was just curious. Also, I was stationed at Ft. Riley, Kansas for over 2 years and loved Kansas. Cool video!

Thanks for the review. I have been thinking about one of these. My BX beats me to death and I have to go so slow in parts of my yard so that I don't lose a kidney 😀

Another reason they built one with steering wheel is because it's hard to drink drink beer and mow at the same time with two handles 🤣 By the way my yard is about 9 1/2 acres here in East Texas and my slopes generally have about a 12 foot drop off behind the lake and airstrip, I've been using bad boy outlaw XP 36 hp with 72" cuts for years and I've mowed on slopes where you're literally coming out of the seat and I've never had it do anything but mow straight ahead.

I had never had a zero turn mower. I bought a Husqvarna Z254. It is a residential mower. That was my first mistake. It took me half a day to cut my grass. I then invested in a Kubota Z781i. Now it takes a couple of hours to cut my grass. I probably cut around 15 acres of grass. My Kubota can cut steep banks with ease. Also it is fast. It will cut at 11 mph. It does have a 60 inch deck. Not saying anything bad about the Cub Cadet but also wanting to highlight mine.

Yeah, a Z254 for 15 acres was a mistake. I sure hope no salesman recommended that to you.

So I have to ask.. Lucas, did you manage to load it into your truck and drive off with it before he caught you?? That is a great example of mowing on a slope. I get the willies when I use my Cub Cadet here. It has a steering wheel also but does not look like this one. Take care and stay safe.
