Cub Cadet Z-Force S48 Zero-Turn Ride-on Mower

Product Description

The Cub Cadet Z-Force S48 is a genuinely ground-breaking machine. Unlike other zero-turn ride-ons, which are steered using a set of levers, the front castor-type wheels on this highly innovate mower are controlled using the steering wheel. This feature works with a separate drive to each of the rear-wheels to ensure you’ll be able to manoeuvre nimbly & intuitively around obstacles & then turn effortlessly through 360° at the end of each run. Dubbed Synchro Steer™, this advanced technology can reduce mowing-time by an impressive 50-percent. Thanks to its beefy 22hp Kawasaki twin-cylinder engine, the Cub Cadet Z-Force S48 offers unrivalled performance, fuel-economy & reliability. Full-pressure lubrication ensures key parts are kept constantly & efficiently oiled, even on steep inclines; & an electric-starter makes ignition a speedy, stress-free operation. Cast-iron cylinder-sleeves work with the full-pressure lubrication system to significantly extend the engine’s working-life. The foot-controlled twin hydrostatic-drive on the Cub Cadet Z-Force S48 Zero-Turn Ride-On Mower gives you smooth, jerk-free control of the ground-speed in much the same way as an automatic gearbox on a car (press on the rear of the pedal & the mower will go into reverse). This feature combines with the zero-turn capability & Synchro Steer™ system to make this model the most manoeuvrable machine of its type available. Boasting a 1.5-inch welded steel box-frame & an 11-gauge steel cutter-deck, the Cub Cadet Z-Force S48 is well equipped to cope with the demands that the commercial operator will place on it. The deck itself is floating, ensuring a neat, uniform cut; & it’s fitted with four gauge wheels to prevent scalping as you turn. It has three blades with a huge cutting-width of 120cm (48”). Ostensibly a side-discharge machine, this versatile ride-on can also be used with the optional mulch-kit or grass-collector. An adjustable height-of-cut (25 – 100mm) serves to further enhance flexibility of use. With its large-diameter front castor-wheels & extra-wide tractor-style drive-wheels, the Cub Cadet Z-Force S48 develops enough traction to perform effectively in the most adverse conditions. Its wide wheelbase & low-centre of gravity provide stability on slopes & rough ground; while its pivoting front-axle ensures the finish is attractively manicured with no missed patches. Other premium features include an electronic power take-off for smooth, wear-free blade engagement; a high-back seat with armrests & a compression spring for maximum operator-comfort; & Cub Cadet’s patented Smart Jet™ deck-wash system, which ensures you’ll have no problems keeping the blades & the underside of the deck free of clumped, performance-inhibiting clippings.
