            What is maximum load Ultima ZT1 zero turn mower can haul in trailer connected to rear hitch?
            ByApr 10, 2025
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Hello donj. Using a single-axle trailer and a properly maintained and adjusted tractor, you should be able to pull about ½ the tractor weight + ½ the operator weight fairly safely and with control over level ground and over slopes less than 5 degrees. The ZT1 54 zero turn mower weighs about 700 pounds. Thank you for your question.

                The mower is excellenton on flat ground, but my lot is sloped and I have to be over cautious in mowing. I will have to push mow more than I expected. I would have chosen a tractor type mower if the information about slopes was availible on the Home Depot site. I have mowed only twice and like the foot control for the deck height, I added the hour meter at additional cost and will most likely add the mulching kit, as the grass is thrown 20+ feet from the discharge. The delivery driver was great. The turf tires do not grip well on the slopes when I have to back up. Would like a better visual indicator for slopes and a fuel guage. Overall a good machine.

                Great mower but some clear misses
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Mower was easy to order and packs a lot of great features the lack of tracking and alerts of delivery was frustrating and disruptive. XPO calls you while and your door step and your left to scramble. Mower build quality for good and engine is flawless. Lack of an hour meter is a clear miss. The tension string on the deck is extremely loud as it rubs in the deck.

                Maybe shop around first...
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I ordered direct from Cub Cadet's website. I never received a order confirmation email or anything. I went online to see if it was even ordered because I saw a charge to my card, then it went away... Reached out to support and they said that's normal and I would be contact when it would be delivered. Well it got delivered with no call or warning and they dropped it in the middle of my long driveway that leads to the house. Right in the middle of the driveway blocking the drive with the pallet it was on... THANKS, got it back up to the house and assembled it. Disappointed to see this unit has no hour meter for engine maintenance (you can get one at a extra charge) and no arm rests (extra charge) The safety seat switch does not work, when you get off the seat it does not kill the mower like it's supposed to. Overall I would shop around more the entire experience does not give me confidence in Cub Cadet brand or how they sell and deliver products or their quality. We will see how long it actually lasts.

                No gas level view
                I replaced our 12 year old Cub Cadet with this model. The ride is very comfortable and the shock absorbers make a huge difference on our very bumpy land. The only thing that I hate is you can’t see the gas level. That’s a serious design flaw.
