Estate-managers, groundskeepers, council contractors and any other professional landscapers are guaranteed to be seriously impressed by this very high-specification zero-turn ride-on mower from Cub Cadet!

Key amongst those high-spec features is its Kawasaki FX850V engine; a smooth-running, high-torque V-Twin unit that puts-out an enormous 27hp (at 3600rpm); and which utilises the globally-renowned Japanese manufacturer’s emission-cutting and fuel-saving overhead-valve (OHV) technology.

Full-pressure lubrication and a multi-stage canister-type air-filter deliver outstanding long-term reliability; while a remarkably large 56-litre fuel-capacity (2 x 28-litres) will see you through long-periods of work without interruption.

The turn-on-the-spot capability of the Cub Cadet Z5-152 is down to its combination of four-wheel steering with dual independent hydrostatic-transmissions - you’ll enjoy a degree of manoeuvrability you just can’t get from a conventional ride-on, whizzing around obstacles and negotiating tight spots and end-of-pass turns with the utmost rapidity.

It boasts a robust welded-steel deck and a corrosion-resistant E-coated frame, so it’s well-equipped to handle the rigours of all-day, every-day use; and it’s fitted with a heavy-duty roll-bar that will protect the driver in the unlikely event it tips sideways on a slope (the roll-bar folds for storage).

The Cub Cadet Z5-152 Zero-Turn Ride-On Mower packs-in the comfort features, including cruise-control; an adjustable steering-column; an adjustable high-back seat (with armrests); power-steering; and a cup-holder.

It runs on large-diameter, wide-profile rear-tyres that reduce the chance of turf-damage on formal lawns, while maximising traction; and it features Cub Cadet’s SmartJet™ deck-wash system, so cleaning the blades of corrosive, performance-limiting clippings will prove a fast, hassle-free operation.

Cub Cadet’s provision of a tow-hitch means you can work with any of numerous trailed attachments offered by MowDirect; while a series of deck-mounted gauge-wheels prevent scalping when manoeuvring on undulating terrain.

The Z5-152 is both mulch- and side-discharge-capable, with the relevant accessories supplied as standard.
