Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1 46 Overview
The Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1 46 delivers professional-grade cutting performance with powerful Kawasaki engineering and precision maneuverability. Built for homeowners who demand efficiency and a high-quality finish, this 46-inch zero-turn mower combines speed, durability, and a fabricated deck designed for consistent results across challenging terrain.
Engine and Power
21.5 HP Kawasaki FR651V Twin-Cylinder Engine
The Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1 46 is powered by a 21.5 HP Kawasaki FR651V twin-cylinder engine with 726cc displacement. This twin-cylinder overhead-valve engine is specified for strong, reliable cutting power. The Kawasaki FR Series engine provides the power needed for the dual hydrostatic transmissions and the 46-inch cutting deck.
Transmission and Drive
Dual Hydrostatic EZT 2200 Transmissions
Dual hydrostatic EZT 2200 transmissions enable smooth zero-turn handling on the Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1 46. The transmissions support forward speeds of up to 7 MPH and rear speeds of up to 3.5 MPH. This drive system delivers responsive control for manoeuvring around obstacles and across the lawn.
Lap Bar Steering System
A lap bar steering system provides precise maneuverability around obstacles and in tight spaces. The lap bar controls work with the dual hydrostatic transmissions to enable zero-turn handling. This steering arrangement allows the operator to navigate around landscaping features with precision.
Cutting Deck
46-Inch AeroForce Fabricated Steel Deck
The 46-inch AeroForce fabricated steel deck is designed for improved airflow, reduced clumping, and a cleaner cut. The deck is constructed from 11-gauge fabricated steel for durability. A 2-blade cutting system is fitted within the 46-inch deck width to handle the cutting workload.
Electric PTO Deck Engagement
Electric PTO deck engagement allows for quick and easy blade activation on the Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1 46. The operator can engage the 2-blade cutting system via the electric PTO control. This feature simplifies the process of starting and stopping the cutting blades during operation.
15-Position Cutting Height Adjustment
A 15-position cutting height adjustment ranges from 1 inch to 4.5 inches. This allows the operator to select the desired grass height for different lawn conditions and seasons. The adjustment system provides flexibility across the full 1-inch to 4.5-inch range.
Frame and Construction
Heavy-Duty Tubular Steel Frame
A heavy-duty 2-inch by 2-inch tubular steel frame provides the structural foundation for the Cub Cadet Ultima ZT1 46. The frame features a full e-coat with a corrosion-resistant protection system. This construction is designed for durability in outdoor operating conditions and long service life.
Tires and Operator Seat
The mower is fitted with 20-inch rear tires and 11-inch front tires with turf tread. Turf tread tires are designed to minimize damage to grass surfaces during turns and manoeuvres. A 20-inch high-back operator seat provides seating for the operator during extended mowing sessions.
